What's more offensive: an author who wants to "kill god" or a god who wipes out all life on earth in a flood?

Answer 1

I personally don't want to kill God. But I'd like kick him in the junk.

Answer 2

This question assumes that God did wipe out life on earth with a flood. Considering that the flood legend crosses several BC cultures it may well be that the flood was a natural catastrophe that was personalized by biblical writers. The writer, on the other hand is simply throwing a fit like a two year old. No matter how you approach the question, no one can "kill" God. Assuming He is there, He is too powerful to kill and assuming He is not there, there is nothing to kill so the whole process is futile.
It is more likely that when a writer attacks God, he is really attacking someone else's view or dogma. There is a wonderful book that sums it nicely called "Your God Is Too Small". That frames the argument in terms of belief and not God specifically.

Answer 3

You are probably asking that because of The Golden Compass, frankly, it's just a book and it's just a movie. The Chronicles of Narnia wasn't wanted when it came out because it had Aslan die. And now this movie which is the opposite isn't wanted either. Bible-hugging people should jsut sit in a church and read bibles if they are going to attack every movie that has something pertaining to good and evil in it. And besides, the movie is pretty much a classic battle between good and evil but in this case evil wins in the end, and if there is a problem with that than people must be stupid because in life good dosen't always win. It is also rated PG-13, and it is NOT aimed at children

Answer 4

I would say it would be the people who worship a god that committed planetary genocide who would be the most offensive.

Besides, in the story the characters do not kill "God"...they cause the death of a supremely ancient and fragile angel who claimed the title. A significant detail that is lost on the Christian critics, since they don't bother to read anything beyond their Bible.

Answer 5

God did leave noah and his family so that human kind could have another chance. He also loved us so much that he created his son to die as atonement for our filthy sins. We don't deserve how good God has actually been to us. People forget the love that God has shown us because we are so stuck on negative aspects of our own lives, and this author is an example of that.

Answer 6

You answered your own question. An author is one who seeks glory and riches for his own name, a god the wipes out all the earth is a god who does so because you all have sinned.

The god you speak of is the same as the author, read revelation 12, the last 4 verses, it speacks of a serpent, a dragon which cast out of his mouth a flood after the woman.

Your god and author are both Satan.

Answer 7

The god who wipes everyone out.

Answer 8

probably the god who destroyed earth with a flood. funny to think about it this way. but He actually did kill everything.

on the other hand, the author wants to. God actually did.

interesting question.

Answer 9

well, the Bible god had himself killed as a blood sacrifice to himself so that he could forgive the imperfections he worked into his humans creations. so i guess godicide is permissible.

destroying all living things on a fecund planet in a fit of bad temper is pretty nasty and infantile tho.

Answer 10

Not all life. He kept two of every animal (and seven of each of the clean ones).

The latter is more offensive because the former simply has a desire and hasn't actually killed anybody.

Answer 11

I know I'm getting thumbs down for this, but my personal opinion is the first one is more offensive to me.
