But what gods are we? For thousands of years we have been unable to transcend our basic animalistic passions for hate, greed, and violence towards our fellow man. The greeks envisioned their gods just as humans, imperfect, flawed, violent. Modern philosophy envisions the god of theism as embodying perfection, justice, and mercy. Surely, these are qualities far from our reach. Nietzsche's overman, then, seems to become what it set out to destroy, an otherworldly idea.
