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.
