How to go about killing god?
June 13, 2011 at 4:53 pm
I mentioned it so I posted it also.
Let's just say the theist were right after all, ok w/e big whoop we still don't like him. Human being's are created in his image so therefore human being's are also capapable of doing what god doe's. Well that got me thinkin we already killed him once a few thousand years ago. But how do we kill somebody who is everything and everywhere at the same time? Well simply but very difficulty we could just implode the universe, then everything that exist or ever will would be gone, therefore so would god be or severly maimed.
Give me your idea's on accomplishing this impossible task.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

Even the theists know that you can't "kill" a god. You have to kill his followers!

Ok, lets destroy the universe. We need a time machine, go back to the point of singularity, and inject a certain amount of antimatter into the emerging maelstrom with the purpose of annihilating all the matter particle for particle leaving a bland uniform universe of ever diffusing radiation. Kinda like breaking God's favorite toy? Result? God maimed, at least emotionally. Don't know about the exact science of it tho, ask Michio Kaku, he'll fucking well sort it out. But if Jesus comes back as a man again, dude, i'll take him out myself.

I've been considering writing a book about a keyboardist who manages to fall in love with an angel, a refugee from Heaven (my intention is that it be a cross between His Dark Materials and Scott Pilgrim), with Jehovah and his forces being the bad guys, but I doubt it will be written due to a major problem: I can only imagine the book ending with the lead character killing Jehovah, and I cannot even begin to figure out how this can even work. The only precedent I can think of in fiction of a fully-powered God being killed (the elderly Authority's natural death in HDM not counting) is in the last issue of Preacher, where the Saint of Killers lives up to his name, and kills God and all that is holy.

But of course I was kidding about that (lol). Why would a theist such as me want to pull the trigger on God or Allah? That's impossible.

I liked Aristophanes' notions on killing a god, and they have been reasonably well woven into fiction by the amazing Mr. Pratchett in Small Gods.

I think not believing in God is like kryptonite to him. Weaken him with disbelief and them dispose of him as you wish.

For those ignorant of Mr. Pratchett's fine book, gods live on belief, take away the belief, you take away the god. I'm thrilled somebody else has read this, he's such a great writer.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
