Deicide
Deicide is the killing (or the killer) of a god. The concept may be used for any act of killing a god, including a life-death-rebirth deity who is killed and then resurrected.
Also used in Freeman Dyson 's Disturbing the Universe in the essay "The Island of Dr. Moreau" when he is talking of JSB Haldane's Daedalus; or, Science and the Future.
Etymology
The term deicide was coined in the 17th century from medieval Latin *deicidium, from de-us "god" and -cidium "cutting, killing."
New Testament accounts
According to the New Testament accounts, the Judean (or Jewish) authorities in Jerusalem, the Pharisees, charged Jesus with blasphemy, a capital crime under biblical law, and sought his execution. According to John 18:31, the Judean (Jewish) authorities lacked the authority to have Jesus put to death, though the historicity of this claim is doubtful; the Jesus Seminar historicity project notes for John 18:31: "it's illegal for us: The accuracy of this claim is doubtful." in their Scholars Version. Additionally, John 7:53-8:11 records them asking Jesus about stoning the adulteress and Acts 6:12 records them ordering the stoning of Saint Stephen.

Calling God
by: Jann ArdenEvery leaf on every tree
And every drop of water in the sea
Every grain of weathered sand
That smashes itself onto dry land
Every stone and every petal
Everything that's elemental
You are never gone
Calling God
Calling out
Folded hands and bended knees
I pray for life's catastrophes
Oh Hallelujah, save us all
Rock of ages fire fall
Holy-roller roll away
Send salvation, send a saint
I am not alone
Calling God
Calling out
Calling God
Calling out
Every leaf on every tree
And every drop of water in the sea
Every grain of weathered sand
That smashes itself onto dry land
Every stone and every petal
Everything that's elemental
Every tear that hits the ground
Everything that's lost and never found
Every hill dreams of a mountain
Every heart a bleeding fountain
Every wish and every prayer
That always seems to disappear
Every leaf on every tree
And every drop of water in the sea
