@OGIONIK,

Ogionik, I don't think it is accurate to portray the universe as "obeying" laws (it is not a legal system) The so-called laws of nature are not statutes; they are generalizations we make about observations we make of the ways "nature" behaves.

@JLNobody,

You're perhaps overlooking their most important aspect; that being their predictive nature. Also they can be much more specific than a generalization.

I would further assert they are not simply "observations we make" in that they can stand clear of our observations once they have been scientifically-empirically established.

Since god is a myth, I'd say no.

@effee,

We might also say that IF the fundamentalist conception of "God" were the case (that He is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnicompetent, etc.) he would be able to ANYTHING; he would not be constrained by our sense of the logically possible.
But God makes no sense, I cannot relate to the concept, ergo (subjectively, but sincerely) NO.

@Randall Patrick,

No he can't commit suicide. Why? Well he only exists in the minds of man.

@midnightcowboy,

You know, Cowboy, that when Nietzsche (and I think Hegel before him) announced that "God is Dead" he was referring to the dominance of the idea of God in the minds of Man.

@JLNobody,

Well, sorry. I disagree with both gentlemen. God never existed at all, except in man's imagination. So he could not die, in any way at any time.

@Randall Patrick,

There is no evidence for God. Therefore, any conjecture on his capacity to commit suicide is without legitimate foundation.

@Randall Patrick,

1) how the heck should we know?
2) seems he committed suicide looong ago, gotten tired of those ever whiney humans.

3) maybe some other diety killed him?

That is a profound question, I think if god could destroy himself all of existence will vanish

A little child was asked this question and answered thus; God can destroy himself, but he wont because he is not that stupid

i got a suicide letter from god proving you all wrong. god said suicide was better than listening to all these humans whining and complaining and couldn't imagine spending eternity with any of them. god wanted me to pass on the message.

@Alan McDougall,

Alan, does this mean you are a pantheist?

Not meaning any offense, I would suggest that it's sort of a silly question. (Any answers are based purely on mainly subjective speculation.) But, I would also suggest that God would certainly BE ABLE to "commit suicide," but that he never, ever would.

Hi Guys,
My God can commit suicide, but only in part.
Have a great day.

Probably been asked;
Is martyrdom suicide?
Is sacrifice suicide?

@sometime sun,

Yes.

All-powerful (def): That which has the ability to do, at will, any logically possible action.

God is all-powerful.
Suicide is a logically possible action.
Therefore, God can commit suicide.

Hi All,
God has commited suicide an infinite number of times.
God is commiting suicide now.
God will commit suicide an infinite number of times.

If you don't understand this - you don't understand God.
If you don't understand God - God made you to not understand God.
Understand?
Best wishes.
Mark...
