[ WP ] `` And did you ever take a moment , just one , short moment , to consider the CONSEQUENCES of killing a God ? ''

Exhausted, I fell to my knees. The sword reverberated at my side. A God had never been killed before today. A tangible sense of shame overpowered me as I tried to combat such inescapable emotional dishonor with coherent rationalizations. 
 
 *No. * I thought. *This was for the best. For the people. * But my mind was not to be tamed by attempts of justification. Flashbacks of the deity preforming miracles, granting wishes and prayers, and of course the famous slaying of the wicked are fixated in my consciousness. *The very people I want to protect will be calling for my execution. * 
 
 As the guards filed in I took one final look at the face I knew so well. I thought the death would account for the crimes committed, but it was n't enough. *The public wo n't know. They wo n't believe me. * And why should they? All He was to the public eye was a beneficent Being, one who is incapable of doing wrong. 
 
 *But they did n't have to live with Him. They did n't have to witness the unmitigated evil He possessed. * The good acts done by Him were not because He was fundamentally magnanimous. Quite the contrary. They were done to ameliorate the utterly immoral actions He regularly, and compulsory, committed. It was easier to justify the rape and subsequent murder of an innocent virgin when you heal three older women of illness afterward. 
 
 Suddenly I was in the court. And after being found ubiquitously guilty, the noose awaited. 
 
 The commoners roared as the executioner began preparation. `` Disloyal! Murderer! A disgrace! Coward!'' *If only they knew. * 
 
 As I was being adorned with the rope, I heard the executioner calmly whisper: 
 
 `` Did you ever take a moment, just one, brief moment, to consider the consequences of killing a God?'' 
 
 And as the rope tightened, darkness crept in from all sides of my vision. I thought to myself. *He was never a God. Just as I was never his son. *
