The Parable of the Madman is the story of a frantic “madman” who is  proclaiming in the streets that god is dead. The madman continues to explain that god is not only dead, but he was murdered. The people who the madman held accountable for the death of god are the atheist. He argues atheists murdered god and replaced him with science, reason and logic. Although the replacement seems adequate, soon enough the people will realize their is no true replacement for god. Nietzsche uses the analogy of removing the sun and replacing it with light. Light, science, can replace the sun but not in the same way the sun, god, can. Also, light may be a replacement for some time but ultimately humans cannot survive without the sun. I personally understand the angst of the madman. It is easy to explain things through logic. For example, in explaining how a car accident happened a scientist can use reason to say why a caused b. But what science is lacking is the ability to answer why those set of circumstances happened to a person. God can answer those questions, and also give us hope that things will always get better, something science cannot do.
