Counter-counter point (wtf is even going on) 1. Simple physics. Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration. Just me punching this thing is going to affect it a lot more than it’ll affect me, since I have a greater mass to resist Newton’s third law, resulting in me having the physical advantage every single time. Also, it being taller does make things awkward for me, but anyone who’s fought knows that being taller and lighter is a major disadvantage. Sure you have a long reach, but what’s the point if you reach out only to be grabbed by the wrist and pulled into whatever attack is coming next.

Counter-counter point 2. You’re right, I totally agree. Believing in a God by itself isn’t enough. You already mentioned what you need. My religion of Islam already has its own prayers, I just didn’t bother mentioning them. Good catch though.

Counter-counter point 3. By “end it” I mean kill it. I didn’t go into detail because this is all hypothetical. In a real situation there are a variety of factors that could go into you killing something. Feel free to think about some potential ways this could happen.

  1. How are you so certain you’d have a greater mass than it? Yeah it may be spread out more on this beast but it would still probably weigh more given it’s size. Maybe a lightweight in its own respective weight class, but a giant compared to even your average body builder.

  2. I figured you would kill it, but that doesn’t necessarily end the curse if there is one. I wasn’t talking about that, go back over it.

  1. It’s simple physics. Matter is conserved, and you can’t have more then you’re given. How do we as creatures gain mass? By eating! These things don’t have a grocery store. I absolutely eat more than they do, so logically and scientifically my mass is greater. Them being taller just puts them at a greater disadvantage as they’re easier to move. A short person weighing 100 pounds is harder to carry then a tall person weighing 100 pounds.

  2. If they get supernatural devil powers, then I get to say special prayers and seek refuge in God’s protection against their sorcery. This is hypothetical, so we can assume this would work, because these curses defy our reality’s laws so that guarantees the existence of an omnipotent creator capable of protecting me from evil like that.
