You might want to check the first chapter of Colossians and of Hebrews before you think of continuing this.
I'm not sure if you have a tech-y background, but a possible analogy for a human to go "gunning for God", would be "AI computer code" that was running inside a virtual machine, inside another virtual machine, to attempt to attack the real hardware.
Unlike the case in pantheistic religions, the "god" in true monotheisms (Jewish, Christian, Islam) does not exist in the same 'reality space' as do people. Rather, the reality space which people, and the universe generally, occupy is *inside* god. As a result, there's simply no place from which a creat-ure can stand and attack god.
With in monotheisms, the goal of "the devil" is simply a nihilistic destruction of people and places, since no actual attack on god is possible.
