Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?

Give all of my work to the devil. Delegate, delegate.

Two chicks at the same time.

You'd be two chicks at the same time?

I guess. It seems a rather trivial ambition.

I'd make california rubber and increase the earthquake frequency.

:eek: God forbid that I (or any other human) should gain such power!

Then thank god I'm not human.:cool:

I would start by wiping out humanity and replacing them with 7 foot tall platypi.:D

I already have the powers of a god. Although those powers are kept in check by the fact that everyone else on Earth has them.

EDIT: FINALLY! My first Time Warp!!! I was beginning to think I'd never have one!

Hmmm, if I had the powers of God.....

hehehehehehehehe, I would have soo much fun! :D

Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?

Have sex with the moon. Oh, and then I'll smite you all to prove my existance insted of having my know-it-all son speak cryptic rubbish at you and get himself executed.

Jinruizetsumetsukogeki. Because there are too many humans for their own good.

Benevolent divine dictator with occasional outbursts of what some to be irrationality. Sort of like the Abrahamic God, only real and less sneaky.

Two chicks at the same time.
Such a trivial ambition. Think big, Ginny!

Me, I'd do nothing. If I can get anything I want with a snap of fingers, then I'll live life how I REALLY want to live with with no boundaries or limits.

Two chicks at the same time.

That's it? You'd do two chicks at the same time?

I already have the powers of a god. Although those powers are kept in check by the fact that everyone else on Earth has them.

So is warping powers a godly power too?

steal lots of money and a van that i'd kit out with all sorts of stuff and travel for the rest of my life. that'd be awesome.

Nonsense. We all know god doesn't exist.


If I had the power of god I would make god not exist and thus cease myself from existence.



Yes.

Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?

solve people's problems but in ways where they are never quite sure if I did anything.

Id fix these forums.

How "god" like. What a waste of god-power.

I would leave. Why stay here when there's a universe to explore and meddle with?

Always thought that episode of Futuram was stupid.
If God is benevolent, surely he could at least strike religious demagogues with strep throat. Clean up his own mess.

Id fix these forums.
That would be an awesome use of godly powers...and possibly modly powers too .:p

have no idea

first order of business: Make myself a damn girlfriend/boyfriend. I'm so lonely...

second: I'd make it clear to world religions that I don't really care what they believe, but I do care how they behave. And I'd personally visit Fred Phelps and tell him that I don't hate homosexuals at all, which is a good thing for him, because I'll then make it quite clear to him that he is one.

Third: I'd mostly leave the world alone, stepping in from time to time to smack down governments that become too corrupt, otherwise lending a hand only when I know things are hopeless otherwise. Basically, I'd be Superman, only even more powerful.

I'd use my godly powers to make sure that everyone like you gets the herpes. And the clap. And Syphilis. And rotten crotch. And anal warts.


I would also strike religious nutcases mute. And I'd alter the minds of all homophobes so that they'd be suddenly attracted to members of their own gender (without changing their views, because the resulting self-loathing would be so amusing to watch). I'd probably show people how to do cold fusion because it's taking too long for people to figure it out on their own. I could do that you know, with godly powers.

If certain schools of psychology are correct, you wouldn’t be altering many preferences, only eliminating a bit of rationalization.

If I had god powers, I'd destroy you.

I would make myself the ruler of the world and begin a conquest of the universe.

I would make two plus two equal to five and sit back and laugh.

"Ok, I have two ones in my pocket, combine that with the two I found on the ground" *poof* "Hey! Buddy, do you have change for a five?"

Then I'd do something serious.



Genius. We can create a partnership... just before I cease to exist.

Very true. I'd still remove that bit of rationalization though.

Okay Darth.

Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?

Which God? The power of Eros to make people fall instantly in love with whoever or whatever they see?

The power of Hodur to get tricked into killing my more popular older brother and then get killed by my half brother?

The power of Christ to get beaten half to death and get nailed to a big piece of lumber?

You have to clarify these things.

How "god" like. What a waste of god-power.why not? thinking up some great mechanism to get things done would be fun...

Ok, I alter the course of the comet enough to cause that asteroid to break free...

I then cause it to strike another asteroid, breaking of a small peice... like that...

now that piece will drift in this direction... yes... and have it slingshot around mars... like That!

ok at this angle, it will be altered just enough by the moon's gravity to make it's entry point right there...

now the rock and ice burns off... freeing the three natural diamond pebbles... and those should come in at the right angle to richochet off of the concrete and strike Fred Phelps and family in their asses just as he's opening his mouth... bullseye!

and no one gets blamed for it.

*points to Ann Coulter's house* Want to make that your next target, oh Mighty God? :p

oh i make my own land of the dead world to play in

Try God, proper noun.


I'd fix all the problems of the world and make Fred Phelps and all the rest of the religious right gay.
And then I'd make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and see how long it takes for them to mess it all up.
I'm betting 5 minutes.

That's it? You'd do two chicks at the same time?

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a god I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with omnipotence.

*points to Ann Coulter's house* Want to make that your next target, oh Mighty God? :p... a prayer request!

Ahh. but I shall move in mysterious ways...

Let's see... a small fender bender on the freeway... that causes a major pileup... meh, they're unbelievers anyway... Oh, but a flat tire will force that one faithful person to pull over... like so... to avoid the accident... ahh...there.

now that ties up the freeway... forcing Mz Coulter to take an alternate route home... and there she goes...

now that septic truck... a little bump, some low hanging branches... and off goes the cover on their storage tank... the cover will land on that car there... now those bank robbers won't get away. :p

now I have that septic truck go on this route here... perfect.

now Ms coulter... you neglected to check your engine... too bad it chose now to stall. but that handsome man on the bike will get the idea to give you a ride home... and a little mental nudge there... and off you two go...

you know Mz Coulter... you really should wear a helmet... to bad he doesn't have one.

because just as you two ride over that overpass... that ice patch will come in handy... and into a slide we go... angle the bike as it slams into the guardrail... and off she goes...

what do you know... the opening of that septic tank on that truck is right were it's supposed to be. I love rush hour traffic... :D

Forge the one ring to, RULE THEM ALL!?!?! lol...

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a god I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with omnipotence.

But not all chicks.

First I would claim that I am the god of all religions and do not wish for them to fight.

Then I would slam a revolving door.

But not all chicks.

Well, the type who'd double up on a dude like me would.

You know what? Why think small? I tell you what - THREE chicks, now that would be awesome.

I think I would appear in The Vatican City and proclaim that Catholicism is a Christian Faith and that anyone who says otherwise will receive the lake of fires.

All liquids in the world would be turned into Red-Bull.

It would even be an element on the Periodic Table!

Then I'd fix my car so it runs when I stall it.

Hmmm...

Those are the best reasons I can think of. I think world hunger can work itself out, and I don't want all those scientists who make those important cancer/AIDS/etc medicines to be out of jobs, so I'd let the diseases run their courses too.
All liquids?

so mercury turns into Red Bull, the oceans turn into red bull and kills all the fish...

the blood in every living creature turns into Red Bull and they die, the sap in every plant turns into Red Bull and they die...

I think you need to make some edits to your use. ;)

I'd use my godly powers to make sure that everyone like you gets the herpes. And the clap. And Syphilis. And rotten crotch. And anal warts.


Because I want to turn california into a giant bouncy castle?

That seems a bit harsh. What about a good telling off instead?

Piff, boy do you have your facts wrong! Red Bull makes everything better! The fish would become even taster, the trees would have more delious sap, and cars would run off of Red Bull, Red Bull would be the offical drink of Nascar, etc.

You can't comprehend the greatness of Red Bull can you?

pfft... Red Bull gives you wings!

Don't forget you are magic also.

Don't forget you are magic also.

As I said, if you do things right, they are never quite sure if you did anything at all. ;)

I'd fix Time.

I'd leave the three spatial dimensions alone, there'd still be a known past and an unknown future from wherever in time you looked at it, but I'd give all conscious beings the power to move forwards and backwards in time however they pleased.

I'd let earth be and work on creating an ideal afterlife in a galaxy far far away.

The Religion thing would need a thorough rethink, too.

IF I decided to make a written statement to my creatures, it would come straight from the poop deck, not carried around by word of mouth of my prophet and written down by sundry disciples.

It would go something like this:

"I'm NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
Enjoy the World, I think it's pretty neat, but it's yours now.
Suggestions welcome, and drop by for a chat any time."

I would make people blurt out interesting facts about themselves, in the middle of their everyday conversations.

You people think so small.

If I had God-powers....nobody would be safe.

*evil grin* (http://metaphorge.cyber1a.net/unicron/unicron2005poster.jpg)

Smite Humanity, fix my laptop's broken cooling fan, replace my laptop's battery with a hydrogen fusion power cell with an infinite lifespan, will my very own 777-200LR worldliner jet into existence, equip the jet with FTL engines, and explore the universe, and kill my libedo once and for all, since there's no use for it whatsoever.

Your post made it seem as though you wanted to turn the state into rubble. Since that was what I thought the meaning to be, wishing several unpleasant diseases upon you (all of which, except Herpes are curable) isn't really all that bad.

Oh, probably lots of sex and pizza.

I'd make everyone an atheist, and I would create a paradise and a purgatory, but no hell.

me i would try and do a lot of good in the world, also things for myself as well. i would love to be able to change form, be invisble, be invincble as well would be good! :)

Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?

Not much.... I'd much rather just keep my human powers, thank you.

Write the ultimate piece of music.

and of course i'd spank the butt of the first s.o.b. who tried to tell anyone to worship me.

=^^=
.../\...


so you're giving incentive to have people worship you... :p

Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?

probably nothing particularly drastic. other then maybe give people a little bit more of a consciounse and a clearer perspective of the mechanims already in place by which togather they create the conditions they individualy experience.

can even a god taylor the peramiters of a culture?

for this earth i'd perhapse have nature come up with something pretty much incurable, and totaly impartial, that would lower all human fertility accross the board. i might 'intervene' THAT much.

and i would let every awairness live, forever, though most of the time, between material lives and nontangibly, in a place where they would all have to get along with each other. where they could understand and appreciate the far greater diversity then most earth humans even begin to immagine, of awairnessess from the different worlds of different solar systems and even different galaxies.

and of course i'd spank the butt of the first s.o.b. who tried to tell anyone to worship me.

Two chicks at the same time.

Most. Genious. Response. Ever. Lol...great movie.

If I had god-like powers I'd make a people in my own image and have them worship me. Is there really anything else to do in the long run?

This is soooo simple.

I'd make sure that there will be reruns of the A-team on television here, duh :p

yes (there really IS something else to do in the long run). even for a god, creating and exploring are far more gratifying then being worshipped.

Lol...and you speak from experience?

Besides, I would have to "create" in order to "be worshipped."

I'd make a rock so heavy even I couldn't lift it.

Seriously though, I'd create a whole new planet capable of sustaining life and simply observe evolution at work; occasionally intervening and slightly altering their path of evolution.

That'd be sweet, I wouldn't even need to buy Spore.

creating is something a god can always do, even we, can almost always do in our minds. being worshipped gets REAL OLD (and REAL BORING) REAL QUICK!

(and it doesn't take being a god to figgure that one out either)
(though who knows but what we all might have, or not, as the case might be)

the reason to create other sentient minds is that if you have only your own creation to explore that gets old too, so you really need co-gods, all creating environments/universes, for each other to explore if you want to enjoy a happy eternity.

Lol...and you speak from experience?

Besides, I would have to "create" in order to "be worshipped."interesting...

as a side bar, to my manipulating things on Earth... I would terraform Mars. populate it with mythical creatures, create the demi human races and make them as varied in nature as humans are. then take my worshippers and plant them there. and create the rules of magic. then decree that they now have a second chance to get things right.

and I will forbid Earth from setting foot on Mars or it's moons.

I still can't get over the fact that you believe you know how it feels to be worshipped well enough to say that it gets old fast...

Well, I'd create cures for various diseases, but they'd be fun cures. For instance, fucking a watermelon cures HIV. Tickling cures cancer. Covering oneself head-to-toe with a layer of peanut butter can cure asthma. Other fun ideas come to mind. :)

Id Fix Everyones Life up then freez time and get jiggy with every hot chick on earth DUHH

Hey! They gave us the real LG back! :D
I'm happy now.

If I had the powers of god, I would remove from the face of the planet all those who have spread lies about me, first and foremost Jews, Christians, Muslims, and all their various sects and offshoots. Then I would re-create nature as it was before humanity started to spoil it. In fact, the best would be to remove humanity entirely.

... by proving to them that you don't exist? Hmm.

nope, that wouldn't be possible, since it's a negative. I'd just leave no clue of my existence, and instead leave a lot of clues about how the universe works, and how it could have come to be by itself. then I will give occam's razor to every human being, and they'll just have to cut.

I'd play about with the laws of nature. I'd also randomly target some group of fanboys of some description and mess with them. For example: I'd arrange for all future Halo games to be completely and utterly shit, and for the existing ones to develop and mysterious unfixable bug.

I'd use my powers to refute and destroy all religion. And the I'd rip through the veil of naivity and show them the true horror of life. None of this hope and betterment of mankind crap. the sooner all people are pessimistic and fatalistic the better.

Try God, proper noun.

1) Swap around the biological sex of every single human being on Earth.
2) Create a never-ending bucket of popcorn.
3) Create the most comfortable couch in the universe.
4) Sit back and watch the show.

I would probably spend today running around smiting those who annoy me......after that I would feel really bad though and create a new species of ape that would bring world peace.

1) Make all dark matter in the universe vanish.
2) Laugh.

Probably manifest myself at the opening of the UN, tell them I can't be arsed, and that they can get on with it.

Either that, or rain thunderbolts, plagues, fires and floods upon people indiscriminately.

Whatever I want.

Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?1. Eradicate willfull ignorance.
2. Bestow my lover & I with the ability to fly, and stretch our lifespans with a 100 years (or so).
3. Turn myself into an ordinary human, with the exception of the stuff mentioned above.

I'm inclined to say that I'd dissolve all monotheistic or polytheistic religious traditions and cease to exist, and do everyone a favour doing so. But, hell, I'd probably create a collection of dystopian societies to see how things play out, then stop them from ever being created, and warp physics so everything was elastic a la the T-Mobile adds...

Title basically says it all, if you were suddenly given the powers of a god, what would you do?

Which god? Anyway, I'd probably mess with humanity for entertainment purposes. You know, starting wars, inspiring wacky prophets with outlandish ideas to see what the followers will do, stuff like that.

I'd just pull a Hal Jordan and remake the universe in my own image. Might as well go big if you have the chance to go at all. But I'd be sure to include superheroes and a Green Lantern Corps to police the new universe. Why you ask? Why not. It would just be cool.

What do you mean, if?
