This is intended as a thought-provoking question. I'm not trying to offend on this one, nor am I encouraging suicide in any way.
If God is all-powerful, in theory, could He kill himself? If you feel He could, what would the end result be of killing something defined as omnipresent? Would reality unravel or cease to exist?

Disclaimer : I'm not asking if God would kill Himself. Merely if he'd be capable of doing it. I felt I should specify that before I get the endless string of "But He would never do that!" responses.

Eds - If God can't do something, does that mean he's not omnipotent, and hence not God? =)

Oh darn it. You atheists can be so dull. Even if you don't believe in God, you can still have some fun and answer the question per definition of what God is considered to be.

Menka - I'm not messing around with Him at all. Merely asking if he's capable of killing Himself, or ending his existence in some way.
As critical as I may be, I do like the variety of responses that I'm getting. There are a lot of different viewpoints represented.

HE could not do so. To begin with we are told that "GOD can not lie" in the BIBLE. If He were to die, then there would be no heaven and HE would have lied thus, HE can not die. Read, study, and ObEy HIS WORD this week. You will be glad you did. Have a great day!

NO. God cannot and will not tolerate sin and premediated murder IS a sin. Sin cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Remember the Commandment, "thou shalt do no murder"

God is a spirit, no one has seen him , we don't know how he looks, does he has a body, does he feel pain like us etc etc. so I don;t think your question means anything to God. God is beyond thinking of human beings........to strong, to holy...........I would not mess around with him, after all he has helped me when every I called him..........I wish you could feel him like me.........

The only real response can be... ...God cannot kill Himself, cause He did not create Himself.

If he's all powerful, then of course.
And based on the representation of humanity on Yahoo Answers, he would have every reason to do so.

There may have been times he wanted to. I mean, with all of these people starting wars in his name, it's a little depressing.

God doesn't exist. It can't kill Itself if It doesn't exist.
