After he lost his mind he would rock in his chair back and forth quoting scripture.

Wasn't his father a priest? It would make sense, if he was sick and scared, or if he had brain damage of some sort. Also, not trying to be edgy by saying that last bit.

Sometimes, yes, I feel a bit sad that I don't have him around for comfort, and that I'm "on my own," but honestly, was he ever really there in the first place? Was he just a specific historical contingency of culture invention? Maybe even a delusion explainable by material science? What it means is that the things that were left to god, were really just left to us. And what happened? What was the 20th century but a horrible hellfire? The death of god means we are going to learn harsh lessons.

Not a priest. A Lutheran pastor.

But normies don't care. They just want to BTFO someone somehow.

he knew exactly what he was doing. Nietzsche was a deeply religious man. His first book is an exercise in quasi-worship of Dionysus and Apollo for fuck's sake. Read the passage about the death of god from The Gay Science. You'll notice that Nietzsche is not particularly excited about the consequence of the death of god. It is a prediction, and one that came true, the 20th century's wars were the worst catastrophes of all time.

He actually thinks material science can provide a full account of reality!

Those people are now mocking the very idea that God could have pity over us. How lost we are.

yes, I know Nietzsche has many influences, he speaks of both of these gentlemen in The Will to Power plentifully even. He definitely wasn't the only one to see it coming. But, I'm not going to be able to explain the unique nature of Nietzsche's thought on it in it's fullness in a 4chan post

But it used to be. Who is the Oracle at Delphi but the objectification of this? We used to hear the gods speak to us all the time, and they fell silent, with their last words coming from these oracles. These voices were written down, and there they laid in esoteric platonic and jewish texts for the next 2500 years, and through the church they then reached the people.

The death of god is the exhaustion of these words, the disbelief that they were ever the words of god at all. Sensus divinitatis was auditory, and the fact that it isn't anymore is the mark of its atrophy.

but can you explain things beyond the scope and grasp of man's evolved mind that favors not truth but practicality?
Can you even explain yourself beyond 'feelings' and intuitions?

I don't miss God at all. He is with me all the time. What I miss is the death of everything else, of the world, or more, what I thought to world to be, which is really only myself. God is guiding me deeper into the black. I increasingly know nothing. The world and everything seems cold and distant to me, like it doesn't recognise me. All that is left to me is to walk up the hill to my crucifixion, and each of us is called to that monstrous fate that somehow, if accepted, become comfort and salvation, but whenever I fall I find it hard to remember what a comfort comes from embracing the cross. It is always a joy, but when I'm back in my own skin, in my own life, in the world apart from God, I can't help but fear what He asks of me. So I don't visit God's grave--He doesn't have one. I visit my own.
