and if the father can be killed, what would run our universe?

Well, one might argue that Jesus was/is both of divine and human nature. So the human nature of Jesus is the reason he could be killed, while God the Father being solely divine cannot be killed by definition.
Anyway I am not sure wether the Christian God is running anything at all - I guess the bible just says he started it all and the Universe would keep running quite happily if He decided to wander off and start another creation or something. Does anyone have a more qualified opinion on this?
