How to outmatch God in a physical fight

First step is to make God physical. But if its a goddess like Salma Hayek I don't mind losing.
I choose an IQ test vs. Thor.
Vs. Zeus, we play golf, but our scorecards are determined by how many women we've *ahem* gotten acquainted with. Lowest score wins.
I have two favorite divinities, Ganesha and Aphrodite, and I don't wish to fight with either of them.
Nor do I think it'd be the smart course of action.
Ganesha is stronger and smarter than I am, also very good-humored and loves a party. Me, I'm too old for drinking contests ... ah, I have it! A joke-telling contest! At least I'd lose laughing.
And why would I want to fight with Aphrodite? Sure, her early history was far from peaceable, but the mature model, she's really something. Maybe start with who can choose the best restaurant ... (I'll ask Ganesha to be the judge.)
How I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the conversations between Ganesha, Aphrodite, and @blu 2 !
Alright, I'd fly down for when the modak was served...
Get God to complete an inventory of every atom, parts of atoms, etc. in the universe - and handwriting only allowed.
California is like the "God" of states. It's income is huge. So, naturally, one would think that it could not be beaten. In reality, it has traditionally ranked at 48th out of 50 states in education.
Orange County, California has traditionally been highly funded. Since land prices are higher, there, than anywhere in the US (including Hawaii), you'd think that it is the "God" of the states, and would have the best police force. Certainly it traditionally had the highest funded police force. Last year, the news had articles about hiring twice as many policemen. Their motto, every time I get a major crime is (in a nasal tone)... "What can I do about it." But, having hired more deputies, they now say it in stereo (with two cops saying "What can I do about it)." Or quadrphonic (4 cops saying it), or perhaps a hundred ineffectual impotent policemen saying that they can't do anything about crime.
Sadly, more isn't better.
Tim, the Tool Man Taylor (TV show, Home Improvement) insists that more power is better. So, the cat is sucked into the vacuum cleaner (which is run by a Chevy car engine), then the drapes are sucked in. The garbage disposal does a great job of chopping up rotten lettuce, and chopping up firewood, and furniture, and whatever else is drawn into the vortex when Tim installs a turbocharged Ford engine in the garbage disposal. More power is not necessarily better.
God, quite obviously is ignoring us. Prayers go unanswered.
How, then do you defeat an ineffectual God who ignores mankind? By using His apathy against Him. He is too lazy to see that pain and suffering is mitigated.
More power is not the answer. The answer lies in the humanity of the God, not his awesome power.
Satan, too, is powerful, but not highly respected, and few willingly want to follow.
Mice seem to give them (cats) great respect. On the other hand, elephants are deathly afraid of mice. I figure that an elephant should make a deal with a cat. . . he'll sit on dogs if the cat catches mice.
You won't catch me repeating gossip. So listen closely the first time.
The world is in balance (or it would have changed). Thus, the tiger is not able to eat all of the white cranes, or they would be all extinct now, and the tigers would starve.
Bodhidharma - Wikipedia
Bodhhidharma is the monk who brought Buddhism into China. The Chao Lin Buddhists follow His teachings. He oince saw a fight between a powerful tiger and a white crane, and realized that the long legs and kicking could fend off even a tiger. From this, he founded 12 styles of Kung Fu, based on animals.
The greater power is not necessarily the winner.
Many cultures have noticed the balance of nature. The Navajo have a saying that if the coyote eats all of the rabbits, it will run out of rabbits to eat and starve.
The fact that countries exist means that they were not compatible (so they didn't merge). It also means that they probably don't have the force to defeat each other.
Along came Alexander the Great, who brought a great treasure with him. He bribed neighboring nations to attack his target nation, and they did the fighting while he scooped the treasure (compensating himself for the expense). This is also pretty much how the Spanish defeated the Aztecs.
Every neighbor is a potential enemy, and that enemy could be brought to bear against a nation with only slight provocation.
This leads us to a tactic to defeat God (somewhat akin to the Prince by Machiavelli). God must have entities around Him that are jealous and willing to take Him down. For example, Satan might be willing to take on the challenge.
This is what has transpired today. Satan's army has attacked God. You haven't seen the war?????? Of course you have, and you have been in the middle of it, but you just haven't recognized the signs.
Signs of the war to defeat God are all around us. Many think that they are on the side of God, but really, they are on the side of Satan, and they don't even realize it.
The world is a mess, and the attack on God is at the root of it all.
God made a beautiful environment, and now it is being attacked by offshore drilling, fracking, nuke plants, wars, pollution, and Global Warming (lied about).
Satan is making huge debt.
Satan is making disease, pestilence, drought, starvation, etc.
God is losing the war very badly.
God tells Christians "thou shalt not kill"....our politicians say "pray to Jesus to win the war" (that is, kill more effectively). Our politicians say that our perpetual war for peace is about "fighting the Axis of Evil" without anyone realizing that the lies that they use to motivate us to war are evil (they play into the hands of the devil).
Yet, Schroedinger's equation is about probability, and the impossibility to find an exact solution.
I once became a cow puncher, but had to give it up, because the cows looked so emotionally hurt by getting punched.

The Thor movie that just came out seems a bit sexy for kids to watch. At one point, Zeus stripped him stark naked, and his butt was shown.

The wave function itself is fully deterministic; probability comes into play when observing a particle in a particular position, at which point the wave function is said to collapse (or branch). To a wave function realist, and there are quite a few of those, all of reality is described by a smoothly evolving wave function.
Schrodinger, like Einstein, didn’t like the concept of a universe wherein God played dice. Either way, there are necessary limits on certainty, and Werner Heisenberg gets the credit for pointing that out.

I'd tell him/her doesn't exist and therefore they get trapped in an existential chrisis, curling and whining to the ground while I read them with a calm and firm voice a few passages of the Also sprach Zarathustra by F.Nietzsche.

It is not possible to outsmart God!
However, since I believe Devil has a unique way to influence us. He has one of his counterpart with us in our conscious 24/7 (except when we are sleeping) feeding us his point of view - it is possible for it to outsmart us and convince us to adopt something that is fundamentally wrong! IMO
So, next time you consider doing something wrong (i.e. stealing, misguided lust, greed, pride, violence etc.) - you know who is trying to influence you! Fight it! Don't let it outsmart you!
IMO
I know, but at least I put mine in the Jokes forum!
Honestly, I was curious if anyone would actually come up with any specific ways to defeat specific Gods/esses.... there are often fights between the divine and mortal in the old stories, and I wanted to see what folks would come up with. It did largely turn into a joke thread, but that wasn't my initial expectation.
I thought Ganesha was a cake topping...
I'm going back to bed.
