That's up to Czardas. He seems to be fond of handing out Untimely Doom.

But that can be fun too. :)

Difficult choice.

All the more so because a deity should be something taken on faith that only the High Annointed Poohbahs can commune with while us rabble wait for The Word to be delivered. And all of these options are known entities.


I mean, Christianity as an organized religion would go to shit if EVERYONE could just IM God and wait for a response..... there would be no need to hang out together on Sunday mornings to compare clothes.

Well, as of now I have a 5 vote lead. Not exactly a runaway, but that's a good thing. Because if anything should happen to me before I can take office...(many people have prophesied my doom in rather creative ways) at least there will be people quaified to take the position.

My first act as Supreme Being will be to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. That's always been a pet-peeve of mine. I'm going to erase Jerusalem. All the people in Jerusalem will be displaced to the edge of the city and where Jerusalem used to be will be a big round hill covered with dandelions.

I'll wait 2 weeks for the political and religous chaos to really set in.

Then I'll transform every weapon more complicated than a bow-and-arrow into yummy cinnamon buns for a 200 mile radius around the hill. Any complex weapons brought into this zone will immediately become warm and tasty cinnamon buns too. This will forever become known as the Bun Zone.

As major religions of the world reel at this latest development, I'll vacation in the Caribbean as I prepare for phase 2...

Well, the nice thing is that nobody fighs muchover Mecca, Medina and The Vatican. Jerusalem, on the other hand, is perhaps the UNholiest crust of dirt on the planet. It's sickening how many people have died over that place. And that will end. Permanently. :)

Besides, I suspect that once The Bun Zone happens, the major religions of the world are really going to have some 'splainin to do. Most of the really devout people are going to realize that the disappearance of Jerusalem is a sign that God is tired of the crap.

I'll spend a month sipping margaritas on the beach while they figure all of that out.

Then comes phase 2:

I create a Dyson Sphere in a distant part of the galaxy. This Dyson sphere will have an earth-equivalent ecosphere and near-limitless variety of earth flora and fauna. But no people. Yet.

See, if there is one truth in the world is that religious nuts need an audience. After all, Osama Bin Laden wasn't on board one of those airplanes, was he? The leaders of Hamas aren't the one blowing themselves up in Israeli shopping malls. One-by-one, the real trouble-makers of the religious world are going to be sent to the Dyson Sphere. Where they will have plenty to live on. Fresh fruit to eat, fresh air to breathe and nobody for tens of thousands of miles in any direction to talk to. Because if there's one thing Dyson Spheres have plenty of, it's space. :D

Now we come to the entertaining part of the show:

I'm going to make Australia spin. SLowly, of course. Any geological or meterological cataclysms will be avoided. But Australia will slowly rotate in place. Say, one complete rotation every 522 days or so.

I'm going to make everybody on earth over three years of age literate in their native language(or the nearest written equivalent).

I'm going to create all sorts of odd new weather effects. Mud rains. Marshmallow hail. Fog that's thick enough to actually impede movement.

Water will become a little bit thicker. Jus a bit. To give it some body. *nod*

I'm going to triple the amount of mud on Earth.

Certain sections of forest and rain forest will have their growth rates dramatically increased. New trees will actually grow sofast that they will topple bulldozers left overnight, reclaim roads and make it impossible for people to keep the land clear. The Amazon Rainforest will be retrograded to the way it was 50 years ago.

It will be discovered that a hormone produced by the human sex organs destroys the HIV virus. The more intercourse a person has, the healthier he or she gets. Daily masturbation becomes a health trend.

Pregnancy will become an act of consent. Only if the male and female desire a child will pregnancy occur as a result of intercourse.

I'm open to other ideas.

Well looky there - that doesn't sound bad at all! And here I was all worried and plotting your early demise...

The Spinning of Australia seems like fun.

I'm not so hot on the mud, but, eh, whatever floats your boat. Of course, I was assuming you'd had enough mud in your face to lessen the appeal of the idea, considering your desastrous performance in the Mud-filled Bean Bag Battles of yore.

Oh, and one last thing: don't mess with the water - you never know what unintended consequences you'll run in. Maybe you'll end up accidentally dooming the whole planet?

While those goofy mortals WILL think "something" pretty astounding is
happening, those same goofy mortals have a tenacious tendency toward
ignoring what stands in the way of their short-term desires, and I suspect
that they'd move the warfare to a place 200 miles and 5 feet from Jerusalem
and continue the "goofiness".

Nothing against your masterful plan, my lord, but those damned mortals are
just TOO freakin' stupid (on the whole) to catch even your not-overly-subtle
hint..!

I'm not thrilled with the cost/benefit ratio of this "solution", but not only is it
NOT my money, it's being done gratis by you, your worship, so I suppose my
objections as to the efficiiency of your "plan" are rather silly.

Though,.. I will feel rather sorry for the squirrels and other potential "recruits"
of these mad-persons. You DO realize they WILL try to organize a portion of
the local fauna (and possibly flora) to combat the "evil" other-fauna (and
other flora) in the area in some Disney-like "holy war", right?


Now we come to the entertaining part of the show:

OK. I'm loathe to say this to the supreme being, even one I voted for, but
this will just be TOO HARD on the locals of that (already weird) place we
lovingly call Oz.

No windows will be free of the threat of direct exposure of the sun.

There will be NO ROOM that is the designated "sleep it off" room..!!!

This will be an unholy burden on the simple folk of Oz, as they have enough
trouble telling their asses from holes in the ground when regularly and
thoroughly pissed (smashed/blitzed/soaked for you non-speakers).

It's just TOO CRUEL..!!

How about if, instead, we just mirror-image the continent latitudinally (east-
west) every few weeks?

This would not be overly disconcerting for the folks of Oz. They're used to a
similar process now, after combining vast quantities of the local beer, banging
each others heads together while screaming "Ozzy, ozzy, ozzy.. Oy, oy,
OY..!", while ingesting rather oily deep-fried wallaby.

Please, my lord,.. I beseech you..!!! Spare the wretched wankers the early
morning sun! It's just too cruel..!!


I'm going to make everybody on earth over three years of age literate in their native language(or the nearest written equivalent).

OK,.. liking that one. Unless the language is french. Then I suggest
substituting the variety of Urdu that they speak in that one curious little
village just north of the big red rock, near the mountai pass that goes
nowhere but seems like it should, 143 miles east-north-east of Kabul.

I'm rather fond of the mayor of that town, and he'd like me to "pull some
strings" (when he found out I had voted for the winner in the "Who's yo
GOD!?" contest) to make friends with some people who actually know how to
wipe their asses.


I'm going to create all sorts of odd new weather effects. Mud rains. Marshmallow hail. Fog that's thick enough to actually impede movement.

Messy,.. but I like it. What are we gonna do about the ants?


Water will become a little bit thicker. Jus a bit. To give it some body. *nod*

Messing with universal constants MAY do some weird stuff that even YOU, oh
mighty and majestic, hadn't planned on,.. but then,.. maybe that's part of
the "plan"..!!

I bow to your omnevolence..!! (Whatever that means.)


I'm going to triple the amount of mud on Earth.

Cool. And potentially refreshing..!! Should bring down the outrageous cost of
commodities-traded mud to reasonable levels,.. such as they were in the dark
ages, when everyone could afford to be filthy.


Certain sections of forest and rain forest will have their growth rates dramatically increased. New trees will actually grow sofast that they will topple bulldozers left overnight, reclaim roads and make it impossible for people to keep the land clear. The Amazon Rainforest will be retrograded to the way it was 50 years ago.

Yes,.. and tree-houses will become fairground rides.


It will be discovered that a hormone produced by the human sex organs destroys the HIV virus. The more intercourse a person has, the healthier he or she gets. Daily masturbation becomes a health trend.

Wait,.. That's NOT true now..? I have this pamphlet from <censored> that
says that already..! Have they been having me pull my chain, all this time..?

DAMN THEM my lord..!!


Pregnancy will become an act of consent. Only if the male and female desire a child will pregnancy occur as a result of intercourse.

Where you gonna put the "go" switch..? Just curious from a purely "logistical"
standpoint, great and powerful one.


I'm open to other ideas.
