What can you say about a society that says that God is dead

Summary

This quote suggests that society has lost its sense of values and priorities. By declaring that God is dead, it implies a rejection of religious beliefs and moral compasses that have traditionally guided individuals. On the other hand, proclaiming that Elvis, a symbol of popular culture, is alive, highlights a misplaced focus on superficial and trivial matters. This quote criticizes a society that appears to prioritize fame, entertainment, and materialism over spirituality and higher principles.

Men rush to California and Australia as if the true gold were to be found in that direction; but that is to go to the very opposite extreme to where it lies. They go prospecting farther and farther away from the true lead, and are most unfortunate when they think themselves most successful.
