Can God ever be destroyed?

Question

I asked this before but didn't get good answers and then no more.

I'm writing a story about a man who hates God so much that he decides he wants to destroy God. With the power of evil, he devises a plan to do so. There's WAAAAAYYYY more to the story but that was a basic line that needed to be told so that I can have my question answred.

The story will involve NO RELIGION. No Catholicism/Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, even Satanism. It's supposed to be coming from no particular religion. With that said. Is it possible? How?

The message of the story will be that no matter what man's creed is, it will be man's and always has been man's fault that the world is the way it is. Only man will destroy the world. Blaming God, existing or not, is just an excuse to cover how evil the world is. There will be no heaven, hell, angels, saints. No Satan, he'll just be called The Spirit of Evil (The Destroyer) and God will be a god, but called The Spirit of Good (The Creator)

Don't jump down my throat on it. It's not supposed to be an insult to religion or lack there of.

ONCE AGAIN, don't let what the Bible says speak for you. I want to know an opinion. Don't get defensive so easily.

And The Golden Compass beat me? Damn...Thats why so many Christians called the movie pro-athiesm...

Jesus also doesn't exist in my story. As I already said this story ties to no religion and since Christianity is the only religion that believes their messiah has come already then he's not involved.

Answer 1

Here is an interesting opinion
just the thing for an interesting question.
Life and death birth and creation (impermanence)
is the cornerstone law of this universe.
If god exists...god is a part of this cycle too.

Just like the universe is born and dies
so too can that which creates the universe.
The structure of the dynamic aspect of mathematics,
that which is wrapped up in the cosmological term
which is not well understood. There is a relationship
between this changing structure and entropy.
I also think there is a relationship to this term and karma.
At the beginning of the universe this term was zero.
At the end of the universe it will be everything remaining.
If the term represents the information in the universe,
I would call that term god and say that god is becoming
just like we all are becoming what we could, should be.
That is the seed that judges what worked and what did not
and when things begin again, as all things do,
that seed will create the next universe.

Good luck in your story.

Looks like you answered your own question.

'The message of the story will be that no matter what man's creed is, it will be man's and always has been man's fault that the world is the way it is. Only man will destroy the world. Blaming God, existing or not, is just an excuse to cover how evil the world is. There will be no heaven, hell, angels, saints. No Satan, he'll just be called The Spirit of Evil (The Destroyer) and God will be a god, but called The Spirit of Good (The Creator)'

No, man can never destroy God because God created man and woman. Jesus said in His name that the devil has to flee. That proves not even the spirit of evil can defeat God. I am glad I chose to be on God's side! Tell your friend he should too.

Answer 3

I don't think anyone or anything can kill God, but creativity's sake I'll try to help you out (I'm a writer too), but you're putting my creativity to the test here. How could one kill God? Hmm.... Since there would be no heaven in your story, there would be no easy access to the the "Spirit of Good." This man would have to convince the WORLD that the "Spirit of Good" does not exist. Then the spirit will lose it's power and die... maybe?? Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Jesus defeated death? Yeah, okay, call it whatever you want if it helps you sleep at night. He still died, and it wasn't "For our sins" it was because his ideas were making him popular in an unhealthy kind of way, and he knew he was going to get what was coming to him eventually, so he told Judas Ischariot to turn him in so the prophesy would be fulfilled about the "messiah" being put to death before anyone else lost faith. As far as God being destroyed, this is the Aeon of Lucifer, people! keep up with the times for Christ's sake! God was destroyed at the end of the war that he and the Kingdom of Heaven started with Father Satan and The Forces of Hell, but they won't tell you that in Sunday School, because they know if everyone finds out God is dead, people won't be able to be controlled by the fear and guilt tactics of Christianity anymore, as there would be nothing making them feel afraid. You people need to stop denying yourselves, rejecting human nature and going through intentional self-imposed misery thinking it's the only way to achieve eternal happiness. That's what God wanted us to think so we'd torture ourselves for his amusement, making us think we'd all suffer longer if we didn't. He was an immature little child, as can be seen by anyone with half a brain throughout the entire Old Testament, but all that was ended so we could all stop punishing ourselves for the "sins" of two people who never even existed. Give it up, people, God's in his Coffin, and all's right with the world! (or at least it's getting there).

As for a book about a man who wants to kill God, you'd need some incredible writing skills to explain how God exists/existed without any religious pretense, as God, Satan, Angels, and Demons are all religious topics.

Ave Satanas!

Answer 5

This sounds like the same basis for Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. I heard he was just upset over the death of his father and feeling upset at the lack of consolation religion provided, he decided to write books that make the idea of God out to be evil; he even has children (representative of Adam/Eve) kill an elderly man (representative of the Creator). Blasphemous.

But to answer your question more directly, No. God cannot be destroyed. Christ Jesus is a solid testament to that. He defeated death for all of us.

Answer 6

It is possible. I will offer three answers. - "god" CANNOT exist without someone to believe in him/it. - "god" is (and few will disagree with me) a spirit, which means you cannot kill him with anything of this "physical plane". Which means in your story you will HAVE to create a "means", "scenario" or "weapon" that can destroy him e.g: in video games they "invent" weapons that CAN and DO kill, even gods. - Your character The Destroyer could even face "The Creator"
in a place called "The End Plane of Darkness" where his power is magnified, for example.

Answer 7

Interesting story. To me, God represents LOVE. Love is NEUTRALITY. Love in human terms is totally different. Love has meaning in human terms. But love just IS.

So with that, if a man who hates God wants to destory God...well he already has...in his own life. He will attract negativity, and negativity will find him. Any meaning he interprates from any actions in his life will be negative as long as it is motivated by hate. He will have the false illusion that God is destroyed because he sided with darkenss, which is opposite of light. But God is not an entity to be destroyed. God IS. People choose to or choose not to access God, and it's possible to destroy yourself so that you have pushed God from your life. But it is not possible to destroy God. God is not a "thing" to destroy.

Note: I was once told by a Shaman that one ray of light can conqure a thousand darknesses. ;)

study the story approximately Lot and His spouse......Genesis "Flee to your lives! do not look back, and don't provide up everywhere interior the user-friendly! Flee to the mountains or you would be swept away!" 18 yet Lot stated to them, "No, my lords! 19 Your servant has got here upon want on your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my existence. yet i will not be able to flee to the mountains; this catastrophe will overtake me, and that i will die. 20 look, that's a city close to adequate to run to, and that's small. permit me flee to it—that's quite small, isn't it? Then my existence would be spared." 21 He stated to him, "o.k., i'm going to supply this request too; i will not be able to overthrow city you communicate of. 22 yet flee there at once, because of the fact i won't do something till you attain it." (because of the fact of this city replaced into referred to as Zoar. ) 23 by utilising the time Lot reached Zoar, the solar had risen over the land. 24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. 25 to that end he overthrew those cities and the finished trouble-free, alongside with all those residing interior the cities—and additionally the flowers interior the land. 26 yet Lot's spouse looked back, and he or she grew to grow to be a pillar of salt.

Answer 9

According to satanism he DOES NOT exist!!!
I really think religion is stupid, because depending on other beings is pathetic (but I do believe other beings exist)
But from my point of view, believing either in God or Satan or what-not is what makes that being exist... but it exists only in the mind and body of those who believe in them, inside of oneself...
If you don't believe in religion, then why worry about how to kill it's God?... Think about it...
HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION!
Good Luck! : )

Answer 10

I always assumed god could be destroyed with a torpedo. He doesn't spend a lot of time in the ocean though.
