Sometimes I'll see stories in books, comic books, and TV shows where a character actually kills God. For example, in Preacher,
These are interesting stories, but how can killing God even be possible when God is fighting against someone? I mean, couldn't God just simply decide to kill any being in the universe with a mere thought? I never quite understood these stories lol. --- Sit-up champion of the 27th century. #BlackLivesMatter ... Copied to Clipboard!

The two examples that first came to mind were already states.
SMT and Supernatural. To answer the question, it's just nonsense in the plot. If God is truly omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, and invincible, then nothing could even think to harm him/her. --- Why do nerds always get caught up on the details? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, couldn't God just simply decide to kill any being in the universe with a mere thought? I never quite understood these stories lol. Isn't God all powerful? God has gotten some powers attributed to him that weren't ever really stated anywhere. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2032%3A22-32&version=NIV 22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacobs hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, Let me go, for it is daybreak. If Jacob can hold God down for a whole day I think some planet destroying cannons could probably be effective against God. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

I actually had a dream about this like a year ago. It played out kinda like a movie. I dreamed that scientists figured out a way to breach portals to Heaven. And humans went to war with God. It was pretty bad ass for a random dream. Soldiers were battling Angels on Earth, in space and in Heaven. I dont think I got to see an actual ending though. But it would make for a cool video game or something

Western rpgs do this too sometimes. Especially mmos. Almost every mmo eventually makes a raid where players kill a deity. Everquest literally had an entire expansion about various divine planes of reality, the homes of gods and you took down a bunch of them ... Copied to Clipboard!

God has gotten some powers attributed to him that weren't ever really stated anywhere. It's weird, but even though His Omniscience and Omnipresence are clearly stated, the oft claimed Omnipotence doesn't really appear in most versions of the Bible. He is usually stated as being "Almighty" or having "power immeasurable" which just means He is the most powerful being, and doesn't necessarily mean He has infinite power, capable of literally anything possible or impossible. --- ...

Megami Tensei II
Shin Megami Tensei II Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse God--the Judeo-Christian God or a representation of him called "YHVH"--is the final boss in all three of those games, and he is portrayed as a heartless tyrant and despot who demands mindless worship for all eternity. He's also the one responsible for demonizing the other gods, so that he could reign supreme as the one true god. CouldBeAnAlt posted...

There are many fantasy stories where a god-like being is killed, though it's a matter of perspective of what qualifies as a god. Usually it's just someone who is significantly more powerful, knowledgeable and/or influentual than any other being in that story, and because of that that someone is considered a god, but it doesn't mean they're unkillable.
