ayuda con una frase!

Question

Chicos!

Aquí hay una frase que no entiendo. Ayudadme, por favor!

"El asesinato de Dios conduce a la toma de conciencia del vacío de la invención que ha sido asesinada."

Me gustaría que me lo expliquéis en inglés!

gracias!

Answer 1

What does it refer to? Nietzsche perhaps?

Anyway the phrase, more or less, translates as:

The murder/assasination of God leads to an awareness of the emptiness/hollowness/vacuity of the invention that has been murdered.'

Something like that

It is a sentence from a novel. And yes I translated it like that but I doubted it anyway. Thanks! :) - anaranja, Jul 21, 2012

Answer 2

The phrase seems to be a contradiction, amybe a figure of speech or some play on logic, since you can't kill what doesn't exist, looks like something a fellow atheist would say.

Answer 3

Not acknowledging god forces one to ignore their existing lack of faith.

conciencia del vacío.....empty conscience...ignore

conduce a la toma....drives one to take....forces

invención que ha sido asesinada.....creativity that has been killed, already dead, gone, lacking

ha sido asesinada....I believe this refers to faith, la fe
