Because nothing gives you bragging rights like having a stuffed god mounted over your fireplace.
Jesus overcame the grave, Jesus raised the dead and gave that power to His followers - death is not a barrier. Jesus also made a very clear distinction between those who passed away and are dead, and passed away and are living forever.
Hell is not eternal for us, Jesus does rescue and save eternally from Hell, it is only the devil that wants us to believe that is it eternal for us, and therefore not cry out to God.
So yes all we have to do is ask, which we all will do at some point, it’s just a question of how low we want to sink before we search for God.
Ooh, I know what would work: Bizarro Chuck Norris!
Well ya got me there. Wonder what kind of loot God drops?
Plus, God jerky.
I think we could win if we devise a way to screw with Revelations. All we have to do is either kill off Satan, or convince him to stray off script just enough to make the Word Of The Lord a lie.
Why does God need a starship?
Chicks dig a cool ride.
1.) To travel between Heaven and Earth.
2.) To ship souls to Heaven. He needs workers to hold his throne aloft.
I’m pretty sure you need the Amulet of Yendor at some point.
I think you all are missing one key point. First, you have to ask the encountered suspect-deity, “Are you a God?”
Identifcation is key here, folks.
Tripler
. . . but be wary if he says his name is “Ray.”
I am *so *stealing this and putting it into my arsenal of “you are wrong” phrases.
Other phrases I’ve stolen include “you live in Wrong Kong” and “did you drink the Kool-aid?” and “when did we land in Jonestown?”
Access Cosmic ACs admin controls and shut him down? Anyone know the password?
Actually, yes. I do. Don’t look in the spoiler unless you’re willing to have your brain melted by God Himself.

Not according to Jack Chick!!! xp
But on the other hand, C. S. Lewis would agree with you.
VERY Blasphemous! Portrayed the actual physical killing of God or Gawd several times!!! Loved 'em
Lobo: A Contract on Gawd.
Gawd and his evil brother Dave only have jurisdiction over one planet (including natives who travel through space), but they are no match for Lobo!!! Frickin’ hilarious
The Spectre by John Ostrander. Don’t remember the year or the arc-title, but the famous Golden Age super-spook goes through a spiritual crisis when he finds heaven destroyed and empty. Later God comes to Spectre and casually reveals that he ate all the angels, souls, saints, etc, just because he wanted to. Spectre becomes enraged and tries to kill this disappointing God, and is at first physically rebuffed, but then witnesses God fading away. He goes to his friend, a former priest, and confesses to killing God. The priest looks out the window and says, “Hm…sun still shining…birds still singing…nope, God’s still alive, Jimmy.” And then says that maybe what Spectre needs to work on is his concept of God. As if decades of DC continuity were only a fevered hallucination in a spook’s undead mind. Come to think of it, I didn’t like this ambiguous conclusion too much.
But the king of all the blasphemous DC stories…under the Vertigo imprint…
(drumroll)
PREACHER.
Need I say more???
Hind’s blood can kill a god.
Smite him with a goodly dose of clinical depression. Without psych support or meds (which are apparently ineffective on divine beings) he’ll probably top himself in due course.
Combine him with Anti-God. Of course, the resulting explosion will destroy all reality as we know it. Oh well, can’t have everything.
I think the first original Final Fantasy game for Game Boy had God as the end-game boss.
Do we have to kill him/Him, or is containment an option? The Dogma scenario is very plausible in that case.
For the sake of clarity, where in the OT or NT does it describe him as being omnipotent or omniscient?
