No, GOD is not dead but HE gives us a free will. Instead of slaving us with his control HE gives us FREE WILL to choose between wrong and right. It is upto us to choose what is wrong and right and to do the right thing. Unfortunately some people choose their freedom of choice to do wrong things. IF HE was to control all our moves then we would be complaing why GOD controls everything??? He has given us the the knowledge to choose and balance our own environemnt/ situation. Of course there are times when we are down and look at the world around us makes us feel like He does not exist. BUT HE does ...just look at the creation and nature and you will be amazed.
