What would you do if you were a god?

Come on people, I know you've drempt of it. I know that, at least once, you said, "If only I was a god, then I could do...". Everyone wishes that they held supreme power, even if they didn't show it. Tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses? Throw them into the Sun. Angry at the President for screwing up your country? Turn him into a cow, eat him, then become President yourself. Tired of your boring, bland life? Then go to the flyin Island of Mandango where all you do is drink wine and have steaming hot sex.

So, what would you do?

(Oh, and if you guys get bored of fantasizing, you can always check out Black and White (http://bw2.lionhead.com/bw2/). Or, if you're more patient, wait for Black and White 2 to come out this fall.)

Ashton Kutcher, I guess...

(OKay, now that that joke's out of the way...)I'd probably end up being a petty, power-obsessed deity who did very little to interfere with life in general, except tiny, direct attempts to make my life easier, maybe create a couple of fappers/worshippers. Just like most supreme deities we've come up with, no better than an average man.

Alright now boys and girls we've got another story for you now!
We want to introduce to you another friend of the Bible!

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

If I were God there would be no explicit sex on T.V.
Like little Opie eating pie when he made it with Aunt Bea

If I were God thou shall not worship false Billy Idols
And thou shall add the Book Of Flavor Flav to the Bible
Thou shall make fun of Hindus thou shall not make a "Speed 2"
If I were God that's what I'd do Heavens no

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

If I were God I'd get a bunch of slaves to do everything
Norwegian lesbians that feed me grapes and know how to sing

If I were God thou shall not wear tube socks with Flip-Flops
Thou shall sit and thou shall spin thou shall even wife swap
Thou shall resist the Olsen Twins, thou shall not cut "Footloose"
If I were God that's what I'd do, Heavens no

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

And when they nail my pimpled ass to the cross
I'll tell them I found Jesus that should throw them off
He goes by the name Jesus and steals hubcaps from cars
Oh Jesus can I borrow your crowbar?
To pry these God damn nails out they're beginning to hurt
Crucified and all I got was this lousy T-shirt
"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" I'll sing as I'm flogged
Yeah that's what I would do if I were God
So vote for me for Savior and you'll go to Heaven
Your lame duck Lord is like Kevin Spacey in "Seven"
With creepy threats of H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick
You just can't teach an old God new tricks
But would I be a good Messiah with my low self-esteem?
If I don't believe in myself would that be blasphemy?
Just sport some crummy "holier than thou" facade
Yeah that's what I would do if I were God

I'd have to agree with BLAIRgistania. I would start with a clean slate. I would definitely rewrite history. There would be no Adam and Eve. More woman would lead the world, if not all women. :p

Worldwide propaganda would educate people to accept other species as our brothers.

People would not have last names. They would just have three names, having no particular relation to anyone.

People would accept they have a duty to the world and that they do not bore children but fellow humans that they must *guide* through the world. :)

I would create the world in one day. Leave evidence that it wasn't created by me and instead created by a wacky mechanism called evolution. Trick people into thinking there is no supernatural, that I hate anyone who doesn't do exactly what I say. Oh yeah, I would make sure none of my angels rebelled against me. Then there would be no hell, just a hades and death, and my pal Jesus would take care of that

*Ban sex which only was done to make children. Enyoy it or don't do it at all ;)
*Make Iron maiden mandatory schoolsubjects.
*Promoting JRR Tolkien and Teryy Pratchett as my holy sons.
*Making Swedish the holy language.
*And then there are som small little things like taking away war, famine etc. But that I'll do on the coffebrake.

I believe Zeus spent a good amount of time running around sleeping with various women, often in Animal form. I’d pay homage to Zeus but keep it strictly Human, at least for a few centuries anyway.

If I were God...hmm...?

Well I'd probably be the most mellow god there ever was. I'd let my "children" know that while there are certain moral issues they are to abide by (ie Thou Shalt Not Kill), everything else is fair game! let 'em have fun I say!

And if it ever comes to the point where we have religious fear-mongers and wars breaking out...Well I have something more powerful than any nuclear device...THE TOTAL ANIHILATION SPELL!!!

- We start with a devastating meteor shower.
- Then a plague of Biblical proportions.
- After that a bought of famine and drought.
- Then Godzilla!
- A giant flood to finish the job.
- And finally I burn off the atmosphere to kill off any stragglers.

Think I'd be a god very active in the world he created...you now, for a change from the norm.

Firstly, I'd make color a random variable when having a child (i.e. it would have nothing to do with the color of the parents). Think it would be harder to hate someone if they can randomly appear in your family. Whenever any homophobe has a violent thought I will zap him gay...yep...if one thinks, hey let's go lynch a queer, I will garuntee he will somehow end up in a leather bar before the end of the night...hmmm...what else...Any priest of mine will have to step dance wherever he goes...and people who wear big hats in movie theaters will be smited on the spot.

Wearing clothing will be a sin. To give it a more familar feel...not wearing pants will also be a sin.

1. Laugh insanely (for myself)
2. Mess around "a little" and have quite a bit of fun. (some of which I think I shouldn't mention :D)
3. Laugh insanely (and let a few random people hear it, as well as see some really weird things)
4. Try to figure out different ways to gradually improve the world.
5. Create a small, isolated universe, move there and have a lot more fun.
6. Go back once in a while and gradually carry out some of those improvements.
7. Along with 6, mess around a little more.

If I were God, I would open up the sky and show them Hell... actually show it to them.

or maybe i'd put it on TV and say something like, "This is God, here. I want you too look at hell. Here it is. Do you want to be here for eternity? If not, follow me and do as I say. You might be the captains of your souls, but I'm the tribunal who can send you to Leavenworth of you don't obey me."

It's not "filth". It just gets...boring after a while.

Of course, if ye check the link, you'll see that BW2 will be better. Instead of setting those hungry people on fire, you can hurl 'em into the sun. You can conscript 'em to make them attack someone else. Or you can make a volcano appear that destroys your entire city.

I'd knock down human fertility rates by about 90% for a couple of decades. Then I'd only allow about one billion people, hell, maybe half that many.
I'd bring back some of the more interesing extinct animals, like the thylacine, smilodon and Irish elk. Maybe pygmy mammoths and the Japanese wolf. A lot of bird species too. Passenger pigeons, Carolina parakeets and moas.

I might create a couple of new continents and invent new animals. Being god I could keep it from altering the weather. I'd get rid of rape, war, child abuse and cruelty in general. All kinds of social engineering would be fun. And the hottest men on the planet would be eager and honored to serve me in every way. :D

Well, a circle is infinite, in its own way(number of points), but I don't know that I'd say that a circle is evil by definition. Also, we can both know that a circle has specific characteristics, while at the same time not being able to calculate the number of points between any two points on a circle.

I look at God in much the same way. I know many things about God, but that knowledge can never encompass the totality of God.

Every shape can have an infinant ammount of points :p because they can be made infinantly small (again another arguement ... including rebuttal)

Yeah but then he is not "infinite" Having no bounds means he has to be "everywhere" as such he has to be every bit of matter ... including us

As such can it be really said that we exist? that we are just not parts of gods
if so we are not individuals

If I was God I'd have a complete ball. I'd do my own version of what the old testament God is supposed to have done, giving my people all sorts of stringent rules about eating and mildew and not lighting unauthorized fires, and then give 'em hell when they disobeyed me. I'd probably throw in a bit more complete lunacy than the old testament did, like turning people into giant dancing tapiers or something.
