Much ado about godslaying

Post #1

Post by Tuddrussell »

I am starting a blog on the aptly named website blogger, and it is about killing things that are very stubborn about dying.

The very first posting is about killing gods, and here is what I wrote:

How to kill a god

Well, I might as well start at the top, and tell you how to kill a god.

The first step is obviously figuring out exactly what sort of god you are fighting, as they have vastly different strengths, and weaknesses.

Generally there are three different classifications of gods: Transcendent, spiritual, and physical.

They can best be envisioned by the holy trinity: the father, the son, and the holy ghost.

The father: God, he who is everywhere, and knows everything.
Honestly I have no idea how to kill such a thing, but your best bet is to sic an anti-god against it.

The son: Jesus, god in the flesh, and/or the son of god... Christianity confuses me some times.

I assume that Jesus can die, because he has before, but he would just resurrect in a few days... If you want a more permanent option you would have to kill his poppa.

The holy ghost: I have no clue, I don't even know what that is, and I'm far too lazy to look it up, but I guess you'd have to combine my kill God plan, with my guide for killing ghosts... but I know I wouldn't want the wrath of God on me.

Physical gods are like the Olympians, and the old gods. Killing them would require a lot of fire power, or you could instigate a civil war... What better way to kill something then to have it kill itself?

there are also different types of gods: Fertility, death, war, famine, trivia, thunder, fire, earth, wind, poison, dragon, normal.. basically what they are a god OF.

As in: Thor, god of thunder!

Some gods you can kill, and some you have to pray for mercy, and yet others you can only fear.

I will make separate posts for dealing with specific gods, and goddesses that I believe can be killed by a mere mortal.

Also I will make posts for Demi-gods, and tricksters. Which are a bit different.

-End copy-

I have three questions.

Was this a good post?

How can I improve it?

How would you go about killing a god?

Is this like some sort of computer game?

Wait long enough they all kill themselves.

That was very helpful how you added nothing new, and made no good suggestions.

Also I believe I touched on the "wait until they kill themselves" plan in the post, which you might know if you read it.

How could I have missed it.... #-o

Are we playing d & d here or are you serious?

AFAIAC gods do not exist so the idea of killing them is moot.

It is not a video game, merely a how to guide on killing things that are stubborn about dying... like vampires, werewolves, ghosts, gods, and leprechauns.

Riiiiiight....

no how about showing these things...vampires, werewolves, ghosts, gods, and leprechauns...actually exist, then we can talk about how to dispose of them.

It's like planning what you would do if a tsunami hit your hometown, or some other sort of disaster.

Yeah it might not happen, or exist, but living under the belief that they don't exist/wont happen wont help you one bit to kill them/survive it if they do.

They don't - so I have no fear on that regard.

You remind me of the npc fall-from-grace, from planescape: torment, you just disbelieve everything, like a rampant disbeliever.
