The gods, as supernatural being, were conceived at first, according to Nietzsche, in order to remove hidden suffering from the world. Certainly, this is somewhat differentiated depending on the religion it serves. As such, in Christianity, God is, in terms of suffering at least, the character that helps explain the existence of suffering and its division within the world (although one of the many questions that agnostics ask themselves is how the Christian God can allow the existence of suffering in such quantities in the world. Nietzsche himself explains this as the "suffering machine"1 that Christians have developed to explain and attain salvation and grace).

On the other hand, God, as a concept, also became necessary as the element that would justify decisions and events, often painful and absurd, but becoming less so in the presence of an overly powerful element that help explain, by its mere presence and existence, the wrongs. As Nietzsche points out, "every evil which is uplifting in the eyes of

God is justified"2. Hence, God of gods as a justifying element for evil in the world is something which explains its origin.

The first essay explains notions of good and evil, of good and bad. We should briefly analyze in the paragraphs below, the relationship between these notions and the origins of a God of gods and especially how Nietzsche explains such origins through the existence of these notions.

In this sense, Nietzsche's essays contain a profound account of reasons and motivations for the existence of God in the world, for the ways different people have seen fit to make believe in order to better understand, better explain and feel at ease with things you cannot understand and cannot explain...

Another reference to the origins of God, again as an explanatory mean offered to the believers, is when Nietzsche discusses Buddhism or Brahmanism and Hinduism, religions of the East where the supreme connection between God and man is nirvana, the sense of nothingness, the sense of being completely united with God. Nietzsche again uses this discussion to give yet another motivation for creating a Supreme Being. It is revelatory the fact that he is not only using different religions, but he is also debating on parallel plans, ensuring a thorough knowledge of the subject onto his readers.

On the other hand, Nietzsche is also a definite and profound anti-Christian, more than the usual atheist in any case. Someone that has read "The Antichrist" can acknowledge the fact that, in Nietzsche belief, the creation of the Christian God came as a culmination of obedience going back thousands of years and that this was something the human race could have done without.

Indeed, the origin of the word 'good' is tied up with the word 'god' and, hereby, with the origin of God himself. In many ways, it is something of the kind we have previously made reference to when discussing the idea of the existence of God as a mean of justifying the existence of suffering in the world. Especially with the arrival of Christianity a
