    There is a reason.  You are not on here (or weren't) continuously for 12 years.  I have a different perspective.  It gets tiring the back and forth.  But have at it.  Go for it, and I applaud your being able to look at it with new eyes.  Mine are blinded from the MUG light.

  • The mug light can also be the magic light in a forest when we open our eyes at the right time and with the will to see something :

    Salty gave the appropriate answer. 

    To take a more simplistic tack, humans very clearly invented many gods, a thousand or so are known, and over the centuries have scratched the list down to one. Maybe not slaughter so much as attrition. Lol

    Called by various names, Yahweh, Allah, Jehova, God of Abraham.
    Similar script, same lineage.

    They can try.  
    I think that is called IDIOT SUICIDE and is akin to an apple trying to kill the Apple Tree. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at December 13, 2019 10:05 AM MST

    Taking the question literally ... it would be impossible for a mortal to slaughter an all-powerful deity (aka "god").
    Even the ancient Greek tales require a special weapon to slay a god.  And their gods were not all-powerful.

    Taking the question figuratively ... I would not say there is any "slaughter".
    Rather, there is shunning.
    Of course, if you believe that the power of a "god" comes from the number of believers ... then humans have "starved to death" many "gods" throughout the centuries.

  • Hubert Reeves holds a speech somewhere, according to the image, and he formulates dramatic words to be heard - like I did with my question.
