Nietzsche's = first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes without = saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme = vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a final = decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its = course at random and there is nothing final about it. Thus God
is = useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something -- = and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of = evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity for "a sum total of pain = and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being = born."
