Well as long as it has no way of regenerating health it will die eventually. Might take a very long time though.

[ThePest179]

And since the elder god spans the entire galaxy, it could simply avoid the pulsar until it eventually died, as all things do. There's also no proof 1548 is actually a pulsar, or so far away, it could easily be an illusion by a mind affecting creature. Maybe 343.

 

I doubt 1548 is an illusion, but it could burn out within a few thousand years. 435.

[VeryShyPerson]

There's also the option into making it destroy itself.

[Seattleite]

And how do you expect to do that?

Except it's an insane Eldritch horror which is immune to memetic and cognito hazards. 435

"the conversion from a single mind in a single body to the massive hivemind with endless bodies has slowly driven it insane, and despite not being able to grow any larger or develop new powers anymore since its mind could not withstand another great schism, it wants to keep growing more powerful and it is still fairly clever about it despite its mind's lack of integrity and massive burden on that mind dragging it down"

 

Something to do with that.

[Seattleite]

Yeah, have fun with that fiasco of a plan. It's not like you're the first, or second, or nine hundred thousanth to try it. It's still there, and it's stable enough to keep itself alive. For the most part, what's gone is its memory.

 

And Pest179, that thing isn't a threat. It can't even move, the elder god will stay the hell away from it like it would (and does) a black hole or exploding star. Even if it screws up, it won't lose much to it. It might even just move SCP-435-1 to the surface of Mercury and forget about it.

 

And I NEED to get this work done, so I'm going to have to put this on hold, okay?

Okay, but I am going to search some more, just let us know when I can start pelting the Elder God with softballs.

[BTGBullseye]

How about SCP-2068? All it has to do is come in contact with a single "body" to be able to begin infecting the entire hive.

[Seattleite]

Infection doesn't apply to the elder god. Especially since it's a space-faring entity to begin with, its bodies self-destruct upon death, and it's immune to both disease and poison as it actually engages in continuous self-repair. Any infection could not occur as it instantly eradicates foreign substances with force damage, and even if a host could be infected it would purge the infection very quickly then repair the damage and un-do any changes in very little time. Even if one of them did die, it could not infect the others as it doesn't respirate or otherwise eject matter from itself, the others can assist it in purging foreign entities, and should one die it disintegrates itself through force damage upon death to prevent anything from being done with the body, and the disintegration is pretty intense. This thing has been around the galaxy for a billion years, encountered more infectious organisms than anybody cares to count, defeated them all and made its defences immune to them and everything that functions even kindof remotely like them. It can't be defeated through infection.

 

(For the record, force damage is a kind of magical damage that is basically "everything, all at once". It crushes, cuts, grinds, stretches, impacts, punctures, vibrates, super-heats, super-cools, electrifies, irradiates, ionizes both positively and negatively and changes ph both positively and negatively, all of these rapidly alternating in different sections of the impacted area. Nothing destroys matter more thoroughly than force damage, and it's extremely difficult to defend against. The only downside is it's energy-intensive, and that's not a problem when self-destructing.)

[VeryShyPerson]

What if you threw it into a black hole?

[ThePest179]

I think it's both too big to throw and can avoid or escape black holes. 001 (clef's proposal).

[Seattleite]

Guys, I'm really getting tired of this. And we've seriously de-railed this thread.

 

Oh, and pest? Using blatant abrahamic religious symbolism to combat a creature that (in-universe, of course) created all abrahamic religions just doesn't feel right. SCP-001 and SCP-343 couldn't exist in the same universe as the Elder God because part of the Elder God's backstory is completely fabricating the things they're based on as a scheme for the enslavement of mortals. The Elder God is a metaphor for the real-life human creators of the abrahamic religions, hence how it shares their greed, their lust for power, their obsession with control, their fondness for slavery, their support of rape, their violence, their bigotry, their misogyny, their selfishness, their lack of morals or even ethics, and their fondness of deception. Even its power and the extreme difficulty of ever truly killing it are a metaphor for religion's persistent and obstinate nature, as even if individual religions die off new religions are always arising to take their place.

Trying not to post on just how uninformed the previous poster is in regards to the religions he's referring to.

I think he's spot on.

 

OT: Trying desperately not to scream at you.

[Seattleite]

Seriously, BTG. Have you READ any of those books? The Torah, Bible, Qu'ran and Book of Mormon are all filled to the brim with support for the most heinous things humans are capable of. Including rape, infanticide, genocide and slavery. They're all also EXTREMELY misogynistic, homophobic, racist and internally inconsistent. And NONE of these things can be denied if you actually read the damned things.

[BTGBullseye]

You're lumping them all together, not taking them each separate. The bible does not condone any of the above. (read it again, the old testament is basically just a historical book so you can see where it originated, the new testament is where the ideals come from)

 

The Torah and Qur'an are derivatives of the old testament, and were originally made by a guy that disliked the Jews.

 

The book of Mormon isn't really related to anything, much less something that should be lumped together with the other you mentioned.

If I recall, there were plenty of massacres throughout the Bible against non Christians, and God almighty destroys Babylon because they aren't Christian.

 

The Torah and Qur'an are derivatives of the old testament, and were originally made by a guy that disliked the Jews.

 

This proves you only care about upholding Christian imagery; you didn't even try to defend the other religions.

1. The old testament of the bible is still valid, the new testament outright says so. ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Matthew 5: 17-19, Luke 16:17, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 20-21, John 1:17 and John 7:19 for examples.

 

2. Not only that, Jesus reinforces the most heinous rules of the old testament: mandatory infanticide. Mark 7:9-13, Matthew 15:4-7.

 

3. Need I actually quote the passages of the bible concerning slavery? Because it's a HUGE part of the bible. Even in the new testament they are in full support of it. Why yes, it is praised less, only three times instead of four! Oh my, such a fucking improvement. Don't believe me? Of course not, you're retarded. Esphesians 6:5, 1 Timothy 6:1-2 and Luke 12:47-48 all condone slavery. That's JUST the new testament. The old testament you want Leviticus 25:44-46, Exodus 21:2-6, Exodus 21:7-11 and Exodus 21:20-21.

 

4. For rape, why no, it isn't mentioned or condoned in the new testament, but the old testament STILL APPLIES. Even the old testament only condones it by blaming the victim, making her marry her rapist, and basically absolving the rapist of all fault as long as the victim is not married. Here, the bibles rules on slavery are laid out in: Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Deuteronomy 22:28-29, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Judges 5:30 and possibly the sex slaves thing above in Exodus 21:7-11, depending on your definition of rape. As for individual instances where rape was demanded, look to Numbers 31:7-18 and Zechariah 14:1-2.

 

5. Want something especially sick I found while finding the passage numbers for #4? Here. 2 Samuel 12:11-14. God gives rape victims to their rapist, then MURDERS AN INNOCENT CHILD WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

 

6. Moving on to another sick thing, we have the bible's love for murder. Deuteronomy 17:12 (murder anybody who questions), 2 Chronicles 15:12-13 (murder non-believers), Zechariah 13:3, Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (murder... prophets? Really?), Exodus 22:19, Deuteronomy 13:7-12 and Deuteronomy 17:2-5 (murder heathens), Leviticus 24:10-16 (murder blasphemers), Exodus 22:17 and Leviticus 20:27 (murder witches), Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1:24-32 (murder homosexuals), Leviticus 20:10 (murder adulterers), Deuteronomy 13:13-19 (murder entire towns if even ONE person is a heathen), Deuteronomy 22:20-21 (murder promiscuous women), Numbers 1:48-51 (that had better be one important tabernacle if you murder any man, woman or child who goes too close to it), 1 Samuel 6:19-20 (murdered for curiosity), 1 Kings 20:35-36 (murdered a man for not hitting a prophet when commanded), 2 Samuel 6:3-7 (murdering the good samaritan), Ezekiel 21:33-37 (murdering the ammonites), Exodus 31:12-15 (and murdering people for picking up sticks on Sunday).

 

This isn't even CLOSE to all of the murders in the bible. I don't have that kind of time.

 

7. Sickest of all, the bible loves murder even more when they're murdering CHILDREN. Exodus 21:15, Proverbs 20:20 and Leviticus 20:9 (mandatory infanticide), 2 Kings 2:23-24 (god murders FORTY TWO children for mocking a prophet), Isaiah 14:21 and Leviticus 26:21-22 (murder children if their fathers commit sins), Hosea 9:11-16 (murdering the children of Israel), Ezekiel 9:5-7 (murder everyone, even children), Exodus 12:29-30 (god murders ALL the firstborn sons of Egypt, including those of the slaves he's supposedly trying to free, over the actions of the pharoah), Jeremiah 51:20-26 (god promises a great slaughter, including all the little children of their enemies because he's FUCKING EVIL, but then fails to deliver, so much for being all-powerful), Isaiah 13:15-18 (and a demand to murder all, especially children, most of this is demanding the murder of children).

 

THE BIBLE SUPPORTS THE MURDER OF CHILDREN. ANYTHING THAT SUPPORTS THE MURDER OF CHILDREN IS AUTOMATICALLY EVIL. THE BIBLE IS EVIL. THERE IS NOTHING MORE EVIL IN THIS WORLD.

 

8. Human sacrifice! Yes, the bible is in favour of it. Here, take a few examples: Judges 11:29-40 (infanticide again, as a ritual sacrifice, WITH FIRE to appease the lord), Joshua 7:15 (once more, sacrifice the sinner WITH FIRE to appease the lord), 1 Kings 13:1-2 and 2 Kings 23:20-25 (sacrifice the priests of other religions WITH FIRE to appease the lord), Wisdom 3:5-7 (more human sacrifice to appease the lord) Wisdom 14:21-23 (sacrificing CHILDREN to appease the lord), Deuteronomy 13:13-19 (sacrifice an entire town, WITH FIRE, to appease the lord). And I bet you thought human sacrifice was only for those "dirty" pagans, didn't you? But no, this is a feature of your religion just as much as it is any other.

 

As for the rest of your ignorant statement: While sure, the Book of Mormon is a load of shit made by a charismatic idiot who wanted to justify his actions, but then again, SO IS THE BIBLE. AND the Qu'ran. AND the Torah. AND the Talmud. Especially the Qu'ran, actually, as it was made by Muhammad during the period where he was FUCKING A NINE YEAR OLD, and he set himself up as a prophet to defend that action. But none of this is unusual. That's the ENTIRE POINT of religion: To justify the most heinous actions of leaders, be they the writers of the religion or those who use the religion after their deaths, the bible, like any religious text, is designed so no leader cannot turn to his priests at any time and say "Hey, find something that says god is in favour of this. Lie if you have to, the peasants can't read." That is all religion is, ever was or ever will be. And THAT is why I'm an atheist.
