User claims he killed God in Japan

A user claims to have killed God in a country that is mostly atheist and Shinto. He offers no verifiable evidence for his story.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

There is no proof that God has died or that anyone could have killed him. The story is a personal claim with no possible verification.

Someone claims that God has died because he himself killed him. As the story goes, the supposed deicide took place in a mostly atheist and Shinto country, where monotheistic places of worship are scarce. The author of the story maintains that outside those precincts, God was just one more among many, and that after an argument he cut his throat, his body vanishing into some kind of plasma vortex that, by his own estimate, lasted between **30 seconds** and **2 minutes**.

## A claim with no verifiable proof

The story offers no verifiable data: no exact location, no date, no witnesses, no record whatsoever of the supposed plasma vortex. The only evidence offered is the personal feeling of the person telling it. That is not proof, it is a testimony. And a testimony without verification cannot support a claim of this magnitude.

## What Shinto is and what it is not

Shinto is the traditional religion of Japan, a country where declared atheism and Shinto practice coexist without conflict. That an area has mostly Shinto shrines proves nothing about the existence or power of a monotheistic god. The premise that a god can only exercise his powers within his temples is the author's claim, not an established fact.

## The feeling of emptiness in the temples

The person telling this says that now, when entering monotheistic temples, he no longer feels that someone is watching him. That impression is subjective and does not prove the death of anything. Anyone can feel something different in a religious space without that confirming a theory about divinity.
