Why can't God kill people?

Post #1

This thread could have gotten a bit further, or I have forgotten any argument that had lasted so after a while I figured why not start up something similair.

My own argument is based off one of Aesop's fables, (or at least found in a book full of them) where one man sees a ship full of men go down and says that the Gods are cruel for killing so many people. Then the man proceeds to stomp a nest of ants after one bit him. Another man comments on how it is okay for the first man to kill a bunch of ants but it isn't for the Gods to kill people when people are nothing but insects compared to them.

So why can't God do as he does? Why does it make him unsound in people's eyes when they do the same to other beings?
