Within a religious narrative of your choice, what are some attacks humanity could engage in to break the system? (lemmy.world)

It would be fun to think about this from a cybersecurity or system management perspective. The goal is to find things within the action range of humanity that would at least cause a minor annoyance.

Two starters in Christianity:

DDoS hell to force god to adapt rules.

How? Make a lot of babies and make everyone behave like assholes. Following the rules, everyone should then go to hell, which would eventually become overcrowded. Being almighty, god could of course increase the size of hell, but I'd let that count as a minor annoyance. Also, there would be no supply of people entering heaven, which could be another annoyance. There is a potential that this leads to an adaption of rules, e.g., to be more lenient with some people.

Collectively deny to procreate.

Deny to make new bebes so humanity dies out and god has nothing to distract from his boredom anymore.

It's probably not wise to try and annoy a being not bound by causality, physics, or conservation of anything. Especially when said entity has previously near-eliminated our population and discarded essentially all of us to our own folly.

But what's he going to do about it? I think the idea of resisting such a totalitarian system is at least interesting to think about. A fun exercises to explore what we could do despite minimal leverage.
