So, sevennames27 once again justifies his opinion by disregarding the writers (despite not having read a single panel of Preacher)...Extremely novel...
GOD by definition is beyond death, so even if the bullet should kill anything, shooting GOD would then unravel the universe ending every thing.
"
wrong on that one, god made it to kill anything,ANYTHING, he never thought SOK would turn on him thus why he did this, and it's a comic RULES CAN BE BROKEN. "
Rule 1. God can not die.
Rule 2. Gun shot can kill anyone.
End result two fundamental laws are at odds and destroy the fabric of creation.
"
Well, obviously Rule 2 superceded Rule 1. And it didn't destroy the fabric of the Universe.

rule 1. does not apply when GOD has just been killed by something of his own making rule 2. the guns bullets are divine in nature, what they hit they kill, end of story. and again RULES CAN BE BROKEN IN COMICS, GOD even seSAW knows this

again you fall back to the only thing your know, insults. you have not shown any reason, you are on a comic book website, if you want reason go to a math website, comics do not have to make sense and people who try to make sense of them outside the comic itself are just foolish, what you have done here is LOST the debate and now you resort to calling everyone stupid, it's the way you people work when you are beaten you act like you are better then the people that are destroying you in the debate. next time you want to posts something THINK first and ask yourself ''why does logic have to be in comics?'' then get back to me.
SOK , imagine a videogame one character is level 4000 (Manhattan) the other character has a cheat that enables him to do a one-hit-kill plus invulnerability.
Yes, the Preacher's Voice of Command immobolised the Saint of Killers. But remember the Voice of Command stems from Genesis, a nigh omnipotent being. And even then he couldn't order SOK to kill himself or stop hunting him. If Genesis' mind control partially failed against him, why should Emma's do anything at all?As Morpheus pointed out, Scarlet Witch's power is tied to her mental state. Most of the time, her power is sketchy as best. As for turning him into a nice guy, first she would have to erase his anger and his anger is powerful enough to freeze Hell itself, which is an entire seperate dimension. "
Damn. I still think Scarlet Witch has a small chance though. Oh well.
"Gods can and do die, very often. Check any number of creation myths, or literature in general."
Depends on what myths you go to. Norse Gods can die, Greek cannot. Neither can Hindu deities I believe, or the judeo-christian God. In short your hypothesis is wrong.

" and yet SoK clearly shot and killed the god in question. "
Regardless, you cannot call upon mythology in this matter. I agree that the universe unraveling argument is stupid, but that's because of the rules set out in that universe. You likewise cannot say "Gods can die everywhere because they can die in Norse myths".

Actually the Greek gods die in the sense that they lose their power and status like when Chronus usurped Unas and was himself usurped by Zues. And the Judeo/Christian god dies too or did you miss the Easter celebration?

Cronus never died. He was banished to Tartarus. And if you want to get technical, he was a Titan, not a God. As for him unsurping Unas, I'm not really sure of whom you're talking about. There is no Unas in the greek mythology. And Christ was the son of God, not God Himself.

I believe this originated with someone saying that God, by definition, was beyond death. This is false.
"And Christ was the son of God, not God Himself." That depends on who you talk to. The convoluted reasoning involved in the holy trinity is interpreted many ways.
Clearly, SoK killed the god in question. I made reference to the fact that numerous other gods in creation stories throughout comics, literature and real religions also face death.

If they were both dying at the cross, then why would Jesus yell to his father that he has abandoned him? Jesus died as a mortal, God is eternal, end of story.

As pointed out, the Greek mythology has no rebirth scenario, unless you include the Dionysus story, which is of later date and is actually an adaptation of a Persian myth.

Well Mr Greek let me tell you something about your gods. They are based off the stories of the Gods of other lands particularily Egypt. Why the Hell do you think Zues full title was Zues Amon (As in Amon Ra). Don't feel too foolish for not knowing, most of the world says Amin/ Amen/ Amon at the end of their prayers for the same reason. I was not being sarcastic maybe a lil light hearted cause it seems a bunch of stupid fanboys take their religion a lil to seriously? But not you right Clyde?

1) We are not conversing about origins of ancient religions, but rather, for the religions themselves. So, congratulations, you told me something irrelevant to our conversation, to prove your "knowledge"... 2) I mistook your tone, then. 3 I do not take religion too seriously. I do not think myself as a "religious" man. That doesn't stop me from knowing things related to the subject, however. As it didn't stop me from correcting you, without you coming back with a proper response. And it sure didn't stop you from turning the conversation to a personal level; or rather, a personal attack. Even if I was "devoted to God, or a "stupid fanboy" it would still be irrelevant here.

Hercules is the roman version of the Greek name Heracles, which means Hera's glory.

Your ignorance is showing. Egypt is way older than Israel which was at times it's vassal. Do you not think it would be odd to end your prayers to your vengeful country destroying god by adding the chief god of your enslaver (so called). Do some research. What sense if the Greeks were trying to be universal, would it be to pick from the Egyptian/ Ethiopian pantheon? Maybe they knew something you don't? Here's a thought put down your comic books for a bit (you can have them back so don't cry!) and read other books. Ivan Van Sertima is a great place to start. Also an excellent book is "Black Spark, White Fire" which really gives you insight of the development of Greece from it's Egyptian roots p.s. Slick move editing your mistake in grammer when I pointed out. I don't care but I know you do. p.ss. How bout Demeter/Persephone (too lazy to check the spelling) being a symbol of death and rebirth. You can't get more symbolic than going to live with the Lord of the Dead and having the world mourn til you return.
@Morpheus. How's about we stop now at no harm no foul and get back to the subject of the thread?
"Your ignorance is showing. Egypt is way older than Israel which was at times it's vassal. Do you not think it would be odd to end your prayers to your vengeful country destroying god by adding the chief god of your enslaver (so called). Do some research. "
WHAT??? On what level of reason does that make sense? You're saying it's odd that the Jews used the word Amen because it is tied to Amon, when you are the one who stated this in the first place. You are taking two words which sound alike and trying to convince us they're related. Too bad the general scientific assembly doesn't agree with you.

Because they had the greatest economic ties to the nations of eastern Mediterranean and respected Egypt as a civilization older than theirs. Besides, they did it with every near and middle eastern religion for your information. hence Rhea=Phyrgian Cybele, and so on.

Ivan Van Sertima is also a guy who claimed that ancient africans made jorneys to America and has been heavily criticised for his pro african view-point, so I'm inclined not to take him seriously.

Of course a racist establishment would resist anything that contradicts what it teaches. I personally could care less about what you take as your authorative guides. But the native cultures in the Americas are far older than what your establishment gives them credit for and they tell stories of Africans and what appears to have been whites visiting and interacting with them way before Columbus and the rest of savage Europe destroyed their way of life. They also carved incredibly detailed likeness of Africans. How would they do that without direct knowledge? (if that bothers you your going to positively hate the origins of Ireland and Great Britian, & China). I'm a bit bored with this exchange and I already know that you want research a damn thing I write. As a matter of fact my exchange started with Morpheus so how the hell did you even get in the mix? Go away, leave me alone and I'll glady do the same to you.
