Awesome. Love the t-shirt.
I think others have got there first (eg. http://images.cafepress.com/product/17207391v1_240x240_Front.jpg), but the Hebrews quote is a good improvement!
yeah right.
never first with these things! just like when i thought about putting wheels on the bottom of shoes...
Sproul sourced it from some graffiti on a New York subway wall:
"God is dead." - Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead." - God
Nice Doug. When are you going into production?
I would be hesitant to put words in God's mouth.
In Doug's defense, Hebrews 9:27 is from 'God's mouth'. But, I get what you mean Elsie.
But Nietzsche is not dead. He is alive and kicking. We can't escape him just by putting him in the ground.
thanks for that corrective Byron. i didn't mean to generate so much response - it just came to me.
indeed, it saddens me when some (i'm thinking here of John Piper in his book don't waste your life) write him off as insane in the first place and/or blame his lunacy on his scathing critique of religion.
further - in which way in particular do you see Nietzsche as most potent today? and in a good or bad way?
Regardless of the debate of who said it, where it came from, or whether god said it, i think it is a great quote and a great t-shirt.
