Upon reflection, I would say that writing the PhD finally brought me to the useful understanding that much of what I had been grappling with before was patriarchy's reversal of cause and effect. Nietzsche, bless his little heart, did not come close to removing this particular vestige of "God", nor even analysing it.
The reversal of cause and effect which forms both "Metaphysics" and "God" is fundamentally patriarchal. This historical act of reversal is founded on the notion that it is necessary for males to be perceived to "give life". All sorts of misunderstandings (like the one I've just experienced that presumes my status update was about "laydees complaining") stem as a result of this primal reversal of cause and effect and the psychological confusion this reversal produces.

Had Nietzsche more fully "faced death", he would assuredly have broken off his unconscious attachment to metaphysics and thus to "God".
