Anyone have any ideas on how to kill God? I was thinking a out it and I think for a lot of people “God” is just this undefined “thing” out there that they can attribute other things to.

Like imagine a caveman kid talking to their caveman parent and asking questions like “Why is there a day and a night? Why is sky blue? Why is dog died?”

And the caveman parent just makes something up.

When people don’t know the cause of something, they can create a cause out of their imagination.

God will always be lurking in the imaginations of stupid people, and we will always have stupid people on this planet.

For a while this scared me because I’m a stupid person with an imagination, so I knew the idea of “God” will stay with me till I die (since I can’t think about anything when I die).

So I think the only way to kill God is if everyone dies. But even then it’s a gamble because there’s a whole “if a tree falls in a forest?” aspect.

Anyone else have any ideas?

    I called myself stupid in my own post, so I have no problem with other people reaching the same conclusion.

    Believing something that is wrong can make people dangerous, and I think that’s cause for concern.

      True, but that still does not make them stupid. As I said, very smart people believe things that are simply wrong.

        I probably should’ve used “ignorant” or “uneducated” instead of “stupid”.

        What I was trying to say is that as long as people continue to have imperfect knowledge of the universe there will always be room for speculation/imagination.
