To kill a God

I'd do it Kratos' way: get powered up by Ares and the rage from having been tricked by him, then create a massive wad of gore.
I really like god killing plots. Especially if you don't see them coming like in Guardian Heroes.
If the god has some kind of physical form. Then fighting and killing that form is plausible. Then you have to ask does god have a soul? Maybe taking said god's power would and then killing it would work.
If the god is something more abstract then to kill a god is to make people stop believing in it.

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.knight steel said:I'm sorry i got it from Christopher Paolina Eragon book, who's Ursula Le Guin?Bobbity said:Please please pretty please tell me that you're referring to the works of Ursula Le Guin, and not Christopher Paolina.

OT: I like the Terry Pratchett/Raymond Feist approach. Remove or kill off all the worshippers, and the gods become totally powerless.
I'm actually surprised that the thread didn't get more "kill it with fire" replies, it was what every other solution to getting rid of a bird off the roof was so:
Bird on roof=Get rid of with fire
God=Fire not sufficient, need something sneakier.

{1} *Snerk* I don't really care. There isn't even anything in the bible about it.
{2} Well, I suppose I'd have to do it the Douglas Adams way. Puff of logic!

In the most humble of forms, to boot.
I think that the very notion of killing a God is contradictory in the first place. If they were that powerful, they would not be able to be killed. And if they weren't, why would we call them Gods at all?
Depends what god you're talking about, surely?
I'm sure Greek, Roman and Norse gods, for example, were killable, it was just really fucking difficult.[footnote]On a side-note, I find it hilarious how we now regard these as interesting stories, whereas religions today is taken ever-so-seriously and fully expect to live on forever, since they're all the "true" religion. Oh, logic.[/footnote]

But they didn't use the subtle knife to kill Metatron...Flamehero1 said:
They tackled him.
Like a Boss.
1)Enlist the help of another god.
2)Bring popcorn.
3)Mutual destruction of gods.
4)No more gods.
5)Party time.

WHY! WHY! WHY!knight steel said:
I went a whole week without thinking of those horrible books. WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME?!
Your a monster... And the worst part is that he's almost done with the 4th. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, as far as killing a god. If it's male, trick it into watching Twilight. And if it's Female, trick it into watching Twilight (all gods are supposed to have good taste). At the very least it will weaken the being enough for a sword to the jugular...
