Would You Kill God?

[Immoren]

All gods die, once you strip them of followers.

I'm content to misinterpret the phrase "eternal lie" and I make no apology for it.

[Shan Yue]

YOU KNOW 100% THAT GOD IS REAL AND THE MAN WITH THE BIG BUTTON IS GOD IN THIS SCENARIO.

GOD WON'T DESTROY THE WORLD OR KILL YOU IF YOU PUSH THE BUTTON. HOWEVER, THE WORLD OR YOU MAY CTE AS A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF GOD'S DEATH, BUT YOU CANNOT BE SURE OF THIS.

When my own father presented me with a similar scenario, I told him to f off if he couldnt take a joke. I imagine my response to God would be as negative and blase, but maybe a tad more respectful.

Sounds like this "Hui the Brave" has had little experience with the Great Old Ones.

The day this option was presented, I knew that I HAD TO DO IT. No... ONLY I could do it. I understood that killing God was a crime. But THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY. THE WORLD HAD TO BE FIXED! A purpose given to me... Only I could do it (voice trembles).

(looks at the rest of NSG)

WHO ELSE COULD HAVE DONE IT? ... AND COME THIS FAR? WOULD THEY HAVE KEPT GOING?

The only one who can create a new world... is me.

Given all the creatures roaming the Jade Empire, that may be wrong.

Then we best get to work at stripping away the followers by secularizing them.

Then there'd arise new generation of gods, adjusted to secularization, so their portfolio and followers would fit into modern secularized world.

Then we'll have to ramp it up to imposing hardline state secularism with harsh penalties upon anyone who expresses a belief in any deity. The war can be won.

I glady accept Kefka as my lord and savior will bring about and watch over the glorious new world. Long live God Kefka.

Sounds awful?

If the society of the militant godless can fail then your program will ultimately fail as well.

Welcome to the club of predetermined failures.

How do you defeat modern gods? Destroying modern society? God of Vanity Celebrities. God of Science. God Of Internet. Etc.

Not to mention the gods of the cars receiving human sacrifice on a scale not seen since the Aztecs.

I for one would certainly wish to kill the god of Reality TV shows.

Clearly one of the most powerful of the gods in these days.

Sure. The future shall have just one God.

Then the state will become God. Defeating your entire purpose.

No, it's fine if the state is the only god left. It will be a fair and benevolent state.

[Internet Freedom Republic]

Of course I would. Bastard's killed more people than anyone could ever comprehend. Killing him once is the least one could do.

[Ostroeuropa]

Anyone read Pantheocide?

It's fine, right... depends on what state you live in.

Its even scarier having the state as an all powerful deity than a vague God in my opinion.

Got it wrong, it's Salvation War.
(though the war against heaven book is Pantheocide.)

The Salvation War is a Web Original trilogy that premiered online in the beginning of 2008, asking a simple question: what if God announced that everyone's time was up, and that Satan was coming to claim the bodies and souls of everyone on earth?
The answer author Stuart Slade gives is simple: the governments of the world declare war on Heaven and Hell, and bring upon them all the might of the modern military services aided by every single technological advancement we've made since the Bible Times.

I think he would want me to try.

If the option is between the two, I favour an acceptably benign state with immense temporal power that can be used for ethical ends. At that point such a state may well amount to being a sort of revered deity.

The problem is you can't, even if you think you did.
