What if God gets tired of existing and wants to kill himself but cannot do it because he is immortal
>>16894087There's actually a name for that belief system: Pessimistic Pandeism >Mainländer was confident that the Will-to-die he believed would well up in humanity had been spiritually grafted into us by a God who, in the beginning, masterminded His own quietus. It seems that existence was a horror to God. Unfortunately, God was impervious to the depredations of time. This being so, His only means to get free of Himself was by a divine form of suicide.>God’s plan to suicide himself could not work, though, as long as He existed as a unified entity outside of space-time and matter. Seeking to nullify His oneness so that He could be delivered into nothingness, he shattered Himself—Big Bang-like—into the time-bound fragments of the universe, that is, all those objects and organisms that have been accumulating here and there for billions of years. In Mainländer’s philosophy, “God knew that he could change from a state of super-reality into non-being only through the development of a real world of multiformity.” Employing this strategy, He excluded Himself from being. “God is dead,” wrote Mainländer, “and His death was the life of the world.” Once the great individuation had been initiated, the momentum of its creator’s self-annihilation would continue until everything became exhausted by its own existence, which for human beings meant that the faster they learned that happiness was not as good as they thought it would be, the happier they would be to die out.>Rather than resist our end, as Mainländer concludes, we will come to see that “the knowledge that life is worthless is the flower of all human wisdom.” Elsewhere the philosopher states, “Life is hell, and the sweet still night of absolute death is the annihilation of hell.”

>>16894087Boredom is a result of incompleteness or imperfection.God doesn't get bored because god is literally defined as that which does not bore.
>>16894506Could anything truly be as perfect as nothingness?
>>16894506To create anything is to generate a totality which thereby implies limitation. For God to achieve a state of true boundless infinity, it must necessarily commit holy suicide/sacracide.
>>16894522existence that doesn't bore, yes.all the benefits of nothingness, but with agency.
>>16894600that might be true if you were limited by time, which god isn't.the unity of creation and creator is already here. that's why trinitarians believe in "the begetter, the begotten, and that which proceeds" existing coeternally.
>>16894674>>16894688Even without time to create anything is to create something and something implies a totality. God's primeval character (Ain) is therefore necessarily no-thing. Why wouldn't God desire to return to that state?
