To kill a God

[Vhite]

Use the subtle knife.

Mega cookie is yours if you get reference.

His Dark Materials. But it wasnt the knife that killed him, or was it? From what I remember, it could kill the god but in that book he was old and feeble anyway so it wasnt necessary.

 

[Fidelias]

Depends on your definition of god.

I say cut off their head. Nothing survives without a head, not even a god.

Deadpool can.

OT: A true mortal can't kill a true God. Maybe if they have powers from a God and are tricky about it, okay, but you can't just run up and stab him/her in the face. That's stupid, these are Gods we're talking about, you'd think they'd be smart.

 

[kannibus]

Same way you kill anything.

Superior tactics and gunnery backed up with overwhelming firepower!

 

[TonyVonTonyus]

It's simple, you create an equally powerful deity to wage war or break the chains of Fenrir.

Find out gods true name for with a name you can control that person/object completely ^_^.

I did. It's Steve.

Anyway, I'd disbelieve in the God, because, according to most lore, Gods lose power with noone believing in them.

Really?......which god are you talking to because mine is named Bob.

But what if it's one of those many-headed-serpent things that regenerates it's heads every time you cut one off? Any way the only way to truly kill anything is to vaporise it, preferably in lava.

If you can kill it, it's not much of a God, now is it?

What makes you think a god would even have a head?

What makes you think a all powerful being would even need/have a head?

 

[UmbrellaAssassin]

Have you seen Clash of the Titans?
Pretty cool movie.
They use your rendering a "God" ineffective idea very good.
I myself don't see a way to kill a being that knows and can do all.


On a different note, lots of God threads lately isn't there?

 

[Luke Cartner]

If something can live; it can die.
If something can be killed; is it possible foranything to kill it.

For example it is possible yet plausible for a goldfish to kill you, just very implausible.
Now it real life it is impossible for anyone to kill a god for the same reason it is impossible for any one to kill the tooth fairy or Santa (They dont exist therefore how can you kill them). However in fiction heroes killing a god is no more implausible than killing a dragon (powers and abilities of your higher order dragons being pretty god like).

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Like in Fire Emblem: Kill them with a sword that they blessed. How ironic.

Mine is the god of Icecream. His friend, Jeff, the god of biscuits have a lot of fun together having delicious adventures.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Please please pretty please tell me that you're referring to the works of Ursula Le Guin, and not Christopher Paolina. Please please please please.

OT: I like the Terry Pratchett/Raymond Feist approach. Remove or kill off all the worshippers, and the gods become totally powerless.

I'm sorry i got it from Christopher Paolina Eragon book, who's Ursula Le Guin?

Haha, it's not that important, but if you're looking for a new book to read sometime soon, try the Wizard of Earthsea. It's where the Ancient Language and the true names of things in the Eragon books came from, and it's a very good read.

Sounds good i need another good read [i love books have read all of the HP books 3 times, LOTR books 2 times etc....]. Just out of curiosity why does every one seem to dislike the Eragon books?

I don't exactly hate it - I've read all the books so far, and I'll probably read the last - but it annoys me.

A lot of people take issue with CP's use of purple prose, but that doesn't bother me so much. The thing that really does bother me is that it's so obviously plagiarized, everywhere you look.

Roran is a carbon copy of Perrin from the Wheel of Time series, the Ancient language is taken from Ursula Le Guin's work, the flaming blue sword, and an entire chapter, are copied out of the works of David Eddings, and the plot is pretty much Star Wars. There are a few more things, but essentially, that's the pattern.[footnote]Not to mention Tolkien, but plagiarizing the Lord of the Rings seems to be pretty much the norm for fantasy these days :S[/footnote]

It doesn't detract from the work itself, which is enjoyable, if not great, but it is annoying that the author has sold a ludicrous number of so obviously plagiarized books.

There's an article about it here - http://telpenori.blogspot.com/2007/02/paolini-and-plagiarism_28.html - if you want to read more, but I don't blame you if you don't.

Anyway, and much more importantly, read the Wizard of Earthsea!

Supposedly you just dont have to believe.

But thats way to serious of an answer, so I'll just say you really need a Big ass fucking gun. Like, bigger then the BFG.

 

[Leg End]

No "God" can ever truly be immortal, as they follow a set of existential guidelines.

None of which apply to me. That bastard will meet his end by my blade.

Basically, I would just... tear him to shreds. >.>

 

[Baneat]

Well, according to Nietzsche, we've already done it.

[small]<- preemptive "I know that he didn't mean it literally", since I know that someone won't get that I'm joking.[/small]

HE DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY!

*Squints*

nvm,,

 

[higgs20]

personally I'm all for Zeus's idea, make them hold up the world

you're right no 'God' is ever immortal, a God on the other has to be, it's pretty much a pre-requisite.
