why is this allowed?
Because gods always have flaws, and mortals are quite good at exploiting flaws.

>Pure god have power beyond comprehension and can kill lesser entities with a look.
If we're talking about any deity system other than monotheism, then that's not the case, considering the One True God is the only being with all the power.
Any polytheistic system is filled to the brim with gods who routinely get served by humans, because humans know that gods are mostly just pussies.
Because it happens all the time in mythology.
Historically, not all concepts of gods have them as invulnerable, omnipotent, and all knowing beings. Just super fucking powerful.
>>338780928
Why did Greeks or whoever always make their statues with creepy hollow pupils?
>>338780928
Because there's only one god and all the others are pretenders.
Mortals created gods. They can yet destroy them.

>implying the god didnt get his power drained first
Mortals buffed by Gods.
>>338782324
What was painted? There's just a hole there.
>>338782059
If God is all good then he can't be all powerful.
>>338782543
why not
>>338782543
That doesn't make sense.
>>338782528
The back of the hole was painted
It creates a layered look
>>338782587
I think the logic is if he is all powerful why isn't he stopping all the evil in the world if he's such a good guy
>>338782695
what is evil
is it good to infringe upon the rights humanity has to act without interference
>>338782695
Because the true god is the old testament one where he was basically a teenager playing Sims with humanity.
The new testament was just a PR campaign to get people to pay attention and show up.
>>338780928
Because the guy who killed him is stronger you retard.
I bet you're a fatass who can't lose weight and blames your genetics.
>>338780928
I personally like the idea of gods that are super fucking powerful, but to interact with the world directly they have to put themselves in a mortal shell which leaves them vulnerable to death despite their massive power. The hook is that they never actually permanently die, but losing a mortal shell cuts them off from the mortal realm for a time.
>God talks shit
>Gets hit
>Cries about it because "Wahhh fucking mortals."
That's right, faggot. Watch your tongue next time.
>>338780928
gods existence is far shorter than human's history though.
>>338780928
Because humanitiy collective ego is too big to not invent godlike beings, just to have them be beaten by a human?

A dragon is whatever the writer says it is.
A god is whatever the writer says it is.
my dick is a god nigga
Reminder
God is Chinese
>>338780928
Because when modern people think of gods, they think of deities comparable to the monotheistic ones. When in a lot of other mythologies, gods are killed by all sorts of shit.

>>338782695
Notion of YHWH being allmighty is nowhere to be find in any canonical books. It's all later fanfics by cabalists and Plato-inspired church fathers based on what is quite obviously few hyperboles in the scripture. God of old testament was clearly not omnipotent, just really powerfull.

Gods were like us in the old days because that made it understandable. We didn't have the "god works in mysterious ways" bullshit, if Zeus fucked shit up, we knew he was just pissed.
>>338781740
you need to read up on some classics m8
>>338781603
that said, the greek definition of 'god' was basically 'immortal'. human beings were specifically singled out from gods because they were not immortal. however you can take away the physical form of a god without killing them
>>338784682
So is english's
We just call em degenerates
>>338785070
>that said, the greek definition of 'god' was basically 'immortal'.
Not entirely. Hercules was immortal, but he wasn't considered a god, just a demigod.
>muh Judeochristian god!
>>338785257
as if any other god matters? lol?
>>338785179
At the end of his life, he was accepted into Mount Olympus as a true god. But before then, he was just a Demigod. A super strong human with mortality.
>>338781740
Gods are fucking retarded. read some books idiot.
>>338783323
no, the bible very clearly stated what is and isn't a god, and that's canon
>>338785391
>with mortality.
No he was outright unkillable in some versions, it's specifically why Hera never just killed him.
It's why the hydra venom tunic was such agony, because the pain was infinite and he couldn't just die instantly like a mortal could. But yes, Zeus makes him a full god in the end to save his son from the suffering.
>>338785573
She never tried to kill him outright because he was still her son, even if it was from another mother. That's why she does the two snakes thing as a baby and the mentality mad shit when he gets a family. Because she couldn't touch him. But fucking with his life outside of actually touching him? Yeah, fair game.
>>338786238
No, she actually couldn't. On the night Heracles was born, Zeus took the baby and had him nurse on Hera's tits while she was sleeping. Her breast milk made him immortal.
She didn't realize he was immortal until after the snake thing.
>>338786385
Damn Zeus was a goddamn asshole
There's nothing wrong with that
>>338781740
How do you kill a vampire?
>>338786838
With a fruit knife?
>>338786510
Zeus did 90% of what he did because he knew no one could stop him.
>>338786510
90% of Greek mythology begins with Zeus being an asshole to either humans or other Gods.
>>338787020
In theory Athena is stronger. The oracle said that the child her mother would give birth to would be more powerful that its father.
You do realize that games that have you kill Gods generally use different Gods than Abrahamic ones, right?
In western games, gods you kill are generally built around polytheistic gods like pagan gods and such, who tend to represent a specific element or phenomenon. There's multiple gods of lightning throughout European religions, and they're always flawless because they're just that; Gods of lightning. There's gods of seas and so on too. They're not not all-powerful like Abrahamic gods.
JRPG gods tend to be based around Japanese gods in the sense that their mystical and powerful but they're not all-powerful, all-knowing or omnipresent, and tend to just be focused aroudn a specific gimmick. There's a ton of these "gods" in Japanese mythology that are just based on ridiculous or stupid things.
>>338787740

That's not that different from Catholicism having dead saints relegated to things.
>>338782695
Choice requires freedom.
Choice also requires consequences.
No being will just "believe" you if they are determined to do something. Thus, they must be allowed to scientifically test it once without interference.
When the test is concluded, all will be revealed.
>>338787740
SMT always uses the Abrahamic God as the top guy
He's not all powerful however
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL4cFzbrb9M
>>338787712
But Athena doesn't has a mother. She came to life from Zeus head.
>>338780928
because japanese gods are mostly strong and skilled mortals or elements of nature, if you compared them with the idea of christian god (omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient) they are a joke
>>338788337
Nowhere in the jewish texts does it say god is all-powerful, that's later shit. He's just considered top dog of the gods in the area.
>>338788452
>She came to life from Zeus head.
That's because Zeus ate her mother to try and avoid the prophecy.
>>338788165
if he's all powerful, he doesn't need to perform any experiments because he can conjure a 100% accurate answer from thin air
>>338788538
This.
Unless it's SMT. Even then it's normally Demons/Angels that can kill Him.
>>338787740
this
the idea of gods being literally perfect and uncomprehendably powerful in every way spread from the middle east
before middle-eastern religions spread, ancient religions just used various gods as a means to explain things
pre-middle eastern religions
>one god controls this thing
>another god controls this thing
>another god controls this thing
>another god controls this thing
keep in mind that the stories of a lot of these gods, especially in europe portrayed them as emotional beings who sometimes failed at various things
middle-eastern religions
>one god controls every single thing
>that one god is also all knowing and perfect in every single imaginable way
>>338788568
Read my post again. The experiment isn't for us, it's for convincing the beings he's created.
It's perfectly fair, he tries to not get you to do things but if you keep pushing it he allows it.
>>338788737
Ugh, the experiment isn't for him.**
Why is God such a bitch ass nigga?
>>338788680
Greeks had the GOAT religion.
>>338788568
>>338782695
God don't want anything.
You can only desire if you miss something but God is perfection. Therefore God have no desire to end evil because he's incapable of wanting so.
We project ourselves in the idea of God, but really, if such a thing would ever exist, it would be nothing like we imagine. Perfection is beyond our grasp.
>>338789221
>Therefore God have no desire
Says a mortal projecting himself in the idea of god.
>>338785179
Hercules was not immortal until he was lifted back up to heaven.
>>338789417
That's not what projection means.
But tell me, how can something desire one thing, if he's perfect?
If God is all powerful can he create a rock that he can't lift?
What now fags?
>>338782695
you cant put inherent earthy things on something with such power. if god say something is good its not good because the actions of it make something for us positive, they are good because the power of creation say thats how it is. you dont think the nature favors a species over other because its an asshole, its because that how it works and help in the balance of everything.
>>338785432
The word "god" existed in english language before the bible was translated into english. Instead of using the exact word that God Himself used to refer to Himself when talking directly to Moses, they took an English word that SORT OF meant the same thing English bible is literally "rubbadubdub thanks for the grub" fansub tier.
>>338784443
Pascal's wager goes like this:
If you do the things that will get you into heaven your potential gain of an eternity of bliss outweighs any temporal boredom or financial hardship.
Of course it ignores all the other religions who also have things that you're supposed to do as you're assuming from the start that your thing has to be the right thing. Also it ignores that JHVH-1 appeared to J. R. "Bob" Dobbs and told him that all those of Yeti descent would reveal themselves to him by sending him $30 to receive Eternal Salvation and a ticket onto the spacecraft of the Sex Goddesses. If that's the reward surely the one time expenditure of $30 is worth it especially given the Triple Your Money Back Guarantee.
>>338780928
Elder Gods > everyone else
>>338789735
Only if he skips leg day.
Gods you slay in vidya are based on European and Japanese gods, who aren't perfect like Middle-Eastern gods.
It's never stated that a god can't be killed. Just because we cannot comprehend a gods power compared to ours, doesn't mean that a god can't die.
>>338790152
>Middle-Eastern gods
You mean Allah? Because he's the same god they worship in Europe by a different fan nickname.
>>338790252
So what happens when god dies? Does he go to god heaven to hang out with his own god? And what if god's god dies? How deep does this rabbit hole go?
>>338782114
This, I'm not very versed in a whole hell of a lot of mythology, but all that I'm aware of have gods that die.
>>338789857
English is kind of weird in that the word for god does not derive from the name of a specific deity as in most languages related to Greek or Latin the generic term for a god is directly related to the chief god of their pantheon. In Hebrew for instance 'El' started out as the proper name for the king and father of the gods of whom Yahweh was one before the monotheistic revisions that made him the only allowed god.
>>338790436
Just look at Norse Mythology
Its all about Gods being killed
ITT: people who have dont no enlightenment work yet talk about things like 'God'
>>338790407
When Jesus gets whacked, he goes to Hell and then returns to earth when he feels like it.
>>338790371
He means gods that originated in the middle east. That includes the Christian god. Even Jesus himself was middle eastern.
>>338790407
I'd assume that passage into heaven would cease to exist just like the dead god, trapping all those who are already in heaven created by the now dead god.
>>338790578
Jesus was Nordic, idiot.
>>338790015
Honestly the Old Ones actually being aliens that scared the shit out of Lovecraft and gave him nightmares, THINKING they were evil old gods, makes sense really.
If it greek myth gods they get rekt.
Humans are nothing but dust, God could easily wipe all of us out, right now. But keep being egotistical its pathetic desu. If you can take on an army by yourself then get back to me.
>>338790734
>he can't take on a whole army by himself

>>338790552
Well technically the 3 days to resurrect thing came out of the chaos kampf myth where Marduk/Hadad/Yahweh the son of the high god fought the salt water chaos dragon ending in them both dying. But then the were resurrected on the third day through the intervention of their consort.
The Jesus myth draws heavily on that story but minimizes the role of the female part by having him already resurrected when she arrives at least in the versions of the story that we have.
Jesus is just Zoroastr 2.0 really. They talked about all the same stuff, both were crucified, both rose from the dead 3 days later.
And Zoroastrianism lasted a long time. Aren't many adherents of it these days.
>>338790734
well greek gods rekt somebody stronger than them and the titans did the same
>>338789221
Then God is not all good.
>>338790371
christian, jewish, and muslim god are generally perfect and flawless.
european pantheons just include very powerful deities who reign over specific things, quarrel with eachother and just make the world work together.
japanese gods just tend to be very powerful/strong mortals, spirits or elements of nature.

Yeah same could be set about an astroid heading towards our way or some planet sized thing that just eats you and floats away like you were not even there. God is fine but its the bigger things that you should be more concerned about desu. The phrase "there is always a bigger fish" can be applied here.
>It's a nitpicking thread
>>338790691
But that's exactly what the Old Ones are, it's completely explicit in Lovecraft's stories. Cthulhu is straight up portrayed as an alien.
>>338791235
I meant more like ayy lmao aliens
>>338791078
The monotheistic concept of god as a logical philosophical enterprise really was born out of stoic philosophy in the classical period. Before that point middle eastern religion was the same sort of chaotic mish mash of imperfect beings even in the religions that had become more monotheistic you have whole armies of minor deities fighting wars and meddling in human affairs.
>>338790831

Everyone knows its patrician tier to have God buff your power level with the help of angelic allies. Or take the dark route and team up with demons if youre an edgemaster.

To be honest though it wouldn't be all that hard to give Lovecraft nightmares anyway I mean the guy was a virgin till his late 20s, was scared of deep water fish, didn't leave his house during the day and used to regularly post letters at the speed of a modern day shitposter. The guy was a wreck but at least he had a cool cat named Niggeman
>>338780928
True. Gods are extremely superior to man due to their connection to the cosmos itself.
Humans are nowhere near that level. But of course, the Japanese have extremely retarded ideas about what a god is.

The Old Ones were actually just seafood, which Lovecraft thought was disgusting by itself and gave him nightmares whenever he had to eat it.
So yeah, I guess they were really aliens who scared the shit out of him.

God would be beyond the idea of good and evil.
>>338791519
Not true, I remember a documentary series that demonstrated quite effectively that nuclear weapons, beams of charged particles, and sharp objects or bladed weapons with specific designs could be highly effective.
I mean after all the bible states at one point that Yahweh couldn't defeat an army that had chariots made of iron. We've gotten quite a bit more advanced than that.
As long as it's not THE God, it's fine

>>338783535
Not that guy, but he might be onto something. Old testament had some pretty messed up passages.
>>338791842
That was pretty common, and the hypothesis that the rejection of idols in various cultures may have started with those types of thefts.
There's also a weird little story preserved in the bible that implies that Yahweh was believed to only be god over a particular small region and that in order to worship him in another land would require taking a cart load of dirt there to create a patch of Yahweh's land.
I'm god, ask me anything.

Demeter managed to get Zeus to toe the line after Persephone was kidnapped, though.
The real reason no one tangles with Zeus, is that Zeus beat Typhon, which is canonically the scariest thing in existence.
Who'd win in a fight?
Ra or Zeus?
>>338792765
Pretty sure Judah is a tribe of Israel and that verse was depicting them fighting and God himself desu.
All it said was something akin to... God was in favor of Judah, not actually fighting along side them.
Speaking of old testament-era stuff.
The hilarious part is the fact that they're jews aside, the Maccabees were basically real-life /pol/. They saw the Seleucids as degenerates who practiced multiculturalism (which ignores the fact that the culture the Seleucids were emulating was Hellenistic period Greece, aka the height of human culture at the time), so they slaughtered them for it. Hanukkah was basically "Make Judea Great Again: The War".

Tyranical Bitch. I wish there was a game where Mother Nature is the main villain trying to kill off humans due some retarded reason like: "They already finished they cycle. Let new life flow" or "they are killing the planet".
And you end up defying her because you want to go explore space and fuck hot alien chicks. So in the end you become the god civilization and culture.
Shit, you know what? I'm gonna write this shit.
>>338792854
Yep pretty much all the cultures of that region have stories of dynastic succession of the gods in which the new chief god was a younger son of the previous king of the gods who proves himself in combat vs some kind of monster representing chaos and then becomes the new king of the gods. Its not really clear what direction the flow was in because those cultures were in constant contact for thousands of years.

>>338791208
I know that >she
>>338780928
Because gods are fictional and have no observable laws involving reality governing them so they can be killed however the fuck a writer wants.
>>338793143
I mean the oldest we have is the Sumerians, with Marduk slaying Tiamat. Makes you wonder if there was some underlying event that imprinted on everyone, like the flooding of the Black Sea, or was just a frequent but uncommon enough occurrence to happen in every civilization.
Would be neat if archeologists found a thousands year old fossil of a huge dude and a gigantic reptile skeleton.
>>338793065
Fair point, and the whole story is clearly fictional but this occurs within the same narrative that has Joshua who is arguably originally meant to be Yahweh in the flesh running around smashing everything in his path.
>>338793248
If you've been a deity for thousands and thousands of years, and have the ability to polymorph, you tend to try some weird shit.

I recommend reading The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony by Roberto Calasso; it includes excellent explanations of an awful lot of Greek mythology but spends a good long time on your question of why gods transforming into shit was such a recurrent motif and why it was so associated with divine rape of mortals.

Zeus was strong enough to beat Typhon by himself, while Ra requires Set to help him defeat Apep (arguably Typhon's equivalent), and that's never permanent.

Lots of early local cults depicted their gods as animals and had their local royal house descended from the god. For instance Yahweh was generally depicted as a bull or a calf. Having Zeus turn into the animal was a way to incorporate those myths into a more modern mythic structure linking the local guys to the broader faith while also not damaging the divine ancestry of the local rulers.
>>338793416
Because even gods are limited by the boundaries of realities
Buddha said 'fuck that barrier' and he don't give a shit anymore
>>338793557
I remember Sun Wukong being overpowered as well but wouldn't most any God be everything, essentially?

I think that only works for the variants of Buddhism that were essentially just animistic pagans who adopted Buddhist philosophy and identified him as their central, universal deity.
The ultimate god is Brahma, for all that is, was, ever will be, and ever could be, is part of the 400 billion year dream he's having.
>>338793710
Do not fuck with Hindu mythology
Their heroes/gods are broken as fuck
>>338793416
Someone post that WebM you all know the one. Where everything is returned to dust and nothing is permanent.
>>338793248
Depends on the story. Normally he does for tactical espionage action reasons though. If he fucked women in Zeus form it would be more likely that Hera would find out. And transforming into golden mists and whatnot allow him to squeeze into places fleshy bodies can't get into.
>>338793135The nasuverse got you covered m8

Look in a dictionary. It's got a dual meaning.
>>338793657
Who achieved CHIM.
>>338793398
I think its more likely to be astro-theology related to the precession. Like the bull slaying in the Mithras cult.
>>338793710
The moirai are probably the strongest thing in greek mythology. I'd say chaos but it isn't even a 'thing'
>>338793318
Because she dictates how we are, who we should be and when we should die.
I say to that. Fuck no.
Humanity needs to be free from the slavery that has been placed in our genes and in our biology by that bitch that seems hell bent on continuing a cycle of extinction over any species that could possibly have a chance of becoming something more than a bunch of animals.
We most chose our own path. To get to the stars. To go further than the basic needs of our species. We need to transcend her. We need to evolve not by her, but by our hand. Culture, religion and myths, the cognitive revolution, the industrial revolution and the creation of an ideal world where stuff such as rights has paved the way to that unique moment.
And she will not go down without a fight.

Don't know. Shiva?

>>338793710
Hindu mythology has the most metaphysically powerful deities due to them representing concepts like "existence" and "cessation of existence".
At the end of Kali Yuga, Shiva is so powerful that he literally dances the universe to destruction. This is after his wife Kali has eaten every living thing, which is after the final Avatar of Vishnu, Kalki, has destroyed all evil with a flaming sword.
>>338793879
I'd like to learn more about Brahma. Could you post a few sentences or a paragraph or three about the godhead?
>>338793916
Both him and Cu Chulainn sounds like they weren't written in old times when you read them. They sound like they were written around 10 years back on livejournal by someone who watches too much shonen.
>>338792835
>blame your shitty brains
I think you mean blame your shitty god that created us so horrendously and then punished us for having flaws that he gave us.
Now for the real question:
Who'd win in a fight? Thor, or Jesus?
>>338793796
>but wouldn't most any God be everything, essentially?
No, take a look at Zeus for example.

>>338794004
Pretty sure Urd, Skuld and Belldandy are the most powerful.

Karna and the rest of the Hindu mythology are written fucking insane.

Trick question
Jesus would actually be Loki disguised as Jesus, who would entrap Thor, who would then later be saved by Jesus using his magically power of FUCK YOU CEASE EXISTING that appeared in that one episode of the Bible but was never mentioned again.
>>338781740
There are no rules for this. The Christian god has different rules from the Greek gods. There are different kinds and you don't make the rules.
>>338794174
I think killing the goddess of life stops the creation of new life, not ends what's already living.
>>338793606
>Tlaloc was more hardcore, burned kids alive just for rain.
The God of War killed 300 Suns and a shitload of Gods. Decapitated half of them and bathed in their blood. Asshole was the Crossed version of the Gods.
I can honestly see all those pussies of the Nordics and the Greeks pissing themselves looking at those crazy mother fuckers.
Hell, one of them supposedly threatened to eat the entire Milky Way. All the stars, all the people and all the fire that existed.
Wouldn't any 'time god' be the most powerful of his own religion? Nigga can just go back in time and prevent any other god from existing on the first place
>>338793710
>Overall
I would go with the comic books here. Marvel and DC's portrayal of TOA and The Presence (essentially beefed up Abrahamic god) depict omnipotent beings through and through. There are no "oops I lost a bet to the devil" or "oops my powers stop working against iron chariots" kind of bullshit.
>>338794138
Well going beyond the fact that Thor is real and Jesus is just a myth Thor has Mjolnir, and power over electricity Jesus has the ability to become incorporeal temporarily (though he never uses it in combat canonically) and the ability to multiply food.
>>338793710
Aztec and Hindu gods are "That Kid" levels of power. Only Jesus and Odin were properly balanced.
>>338794106
The worship of Brahma is the smallest of the four main branches of Hinduism; its a lot easier to sympathize with the Preserver of reality, the Transformer of reality, or the feminine personification of power.
Brahma possesses four heads which look in the four cardinal directions. He is identified with Brahman, which is the ultimate cosmic reality of existence.
>>338794232

Thor dies to Jorgumgandr and Odin dies to Fenrir though.

Any half assed bullshit that Marvel/DC tries to pull with their gods seriously its some silly shit.

>>338794474
Chronos wasn't all-powerful, so no.
Generally time gods don't control time, they are the stewards of it. Most religions that believe in time gods also believe that fate is immutable.
>>338793710
Chaos, The Ogdoad, Thor (physically speaking), Huitzilopochtli, Brahman, either Gnostic God (all these fucking demiurges itt) or Brahman.
Eastern mythologies generally have no sense of scale (or perhaps better, religious cosmology is a spooky place) and thus end up with more powerful deities.
I wanna take this opportunity to mention Gods of Pegana, which is a criminally underrated Lord Dunsany work that's in the public domain.
My nigga MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI needs more respect.

Our flaws are part of who we are and sometimes you need to punish to educate.
>>338794474
There are Hindu gods that represent the concept of existence. Time manipulation means nothing if you are dealing with the concept of everything/anything.
>>338794474
Some times gods of 'time' are presented as powerless to change fate, and only watch as history unfolds.
>mfw people claim the Abrahamic God as the strongest overall
>>338794174
>goddess of all life
You do not need to kill the goddess. You just need to survive her to the point where she has no hold on you. You need to become a God or a Goddess of Civilization and Culture to held her off for a while, at least until life can can become independent of her. Then they fly away from her. And you, as the Lord/Lady of Progress, will have to fight for the survival of other species so they may one day escape her claws.
Why? Because Gaia is Nature and Entropy is Nature's Final solution. You need to force her to find a new one.
>>338794683
Brahman got his shit pushed in by Shiva when he got all uppity about being the strongest and the best out of the big 3.
>>338794734

Preach it, brother.

Its like watching one of those autistic powerlevel threads unfold. There is enough concentrated autism to power the entire planet several times over.
>>338794683
>Gnostic God
The Archons are not gods. They are demons or cosmic abominations that feed of suffering and pain.
But Gnosticism is a fanfic cult. So whatever.

The final goal of god's creation is to kill god and usurp its throne. This is the true path. Reach heaven through violence.

What a surprise.
>>338794683
Eastern gods are pretty low tier outside of the Vedic ones.
>>338795058
Do we even have cults these days?
And I don't mean "this sect that have an out-there view of their religion". I mean full-on, chaos legion level cults.
>>338794995
I presume the gnostic god would be Sophia, not Yaldaboath.
