Deicide, aka killing a god. To kill the gods, or even God (or a Crystal Dragon Jesus Expy) Himself, is a daunting task. You're often dealing with an Immortal, Nigh Invulnerable, Physical God that can probably snuff the light out of you in an instant. If the Gods Need Prayer Badly, this could be accomplished by everybody ceasing worship at once and letting the god just shrivel up. Of course, once you do this, God Is Dead. See also Rage Against the Heavens. Compare Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?, which might be their cause of death. Examples of Kill the God include:

  • Deicide, aka killing a god. To kill the gods, or even God (or a Crystal Dragon Jesus Expy) Himself, is a daunting task. You're often dealing with an Immortal, Nigh Invulnerable, Physical God that can probably snuff the light out of you in an instant. But that doesn't sit well with how deities are portrayed in stories, where they have a tendency to die, as mythology often shows. As a result, you may have a setting where you can Kill The Gods. This makes sense if the character who kills the god is its equal or greater in power, although it's not unheard of to see someone who's weaker than the god kill them anyway. If the Gods Need Prayer Badly, this could be accomplished by everybody ceasing worship at once and letting the god just shrivel up. Of course, once you do this, God Is Dead.
