Hmmm I remember a film I saw years ago called Dark Crystal (some of you have probably seen it) where there were two ancient races, each with about a dozen survivors left, and each of these creatures were somehow linked to a member of the other race, so that if any of them died, so would one of the other race. Suppose you coded something like that, were you couldn't kill the anti-God (at least without killing God, which He wouldn't let you do), but instead imprison it or something similar. Perhaps killing the anti-God would only be a temporary thing, severely weakening God until the anti-God could come back. This might be interesting.
