Then, in maniacal glee, watch as the world, despite having seen and basked in my presence struggle to grasp the concept, for I embody the wholeness that is something yet is nothing. Then maybe drink from the eternal fountain; it would be the finest milk, and I would bathe in it. :D

Rewrite the Bible. Inspire decent writers this time. And make sure they did their homework and talked to each other so they didnt contradict each other all the time.

Id not waste my time having them write a hundred pages on proper sacrifices and how to appease me. Id also not waste my time telling them who they cant sleep with. Id reveal something useful to them instead. Like how to cure cancer.

I actually developed a list. I won't go into it all again, but the first thing I'd do is erase Jerusalem. I'd replace it with a miles-wide gently sloping hill covered with daffodils with the entire former population of the city scattered around the perimeter. Then I would take a month off relaxing on a beach in St Thomas sipping margaritas while the world lost it's mind.

After a nice spell of chaos, I'd carry on with my agenda. *nod*

I'd probably make an asteroid pass so close to earth that they try to send Bruce Willis to kill it, and, at the last second, slightly deflect it so it misses the planet.

I'd do this once a month for a couple centuries until it was accepted as a natural phenomenon, then arrive and declare that I stopped it from happening and they should all worship me.

You call that a nice spell of chaos? Please. That'd caught some minor confusion and nothing more. That would not get anyone's attention for long. CNN might pay attention for two days before Paris Hilton does something scandalous involving Brittany Spears.

I'd show that damned gravity just whose boss. Too many times I've fallen on my ass, or things have fallen off my desk, or things have fallen on my head, and all because bodies with mass are attracted to one another.
So the first thing I'd do is just get rid of gravity.
The second thing I'd do is feel really embarrassed when every object in the Universe went flying in an infinite number of different directions.

Hm. So the planets stop rotating, one half of Earth is plunged into eternal night, and the other side is never illuminated. Without the Earth's rotation, ocean currents and weather patterns would do... something. Probably bad.

Why not just create your ideal girlfriend. You would be able to make her the right person for you; no effort.

As for me, after resting for a while, I would allow for strange things to happen. If people resort to the logic of "God did it", they would die a slow and painful death while being forced to watch on an infinite loop "Never Gonna Give You Up", and those who allow science to find and answer and accept that the answer is imperfect and doesn't explain everything will live their life unbothered by me, until I felt like it. Then random people would be picked off the ground and placed exactly 12 feet away from where they were.

They would be forced to deny my existence! BWAHAHAHA!

The kind of people that will lock themselves into a single ideal, such as religion, and use it as thier means to understand everything, the kind of people who have great reasoning abilities but are willing to just accept whatever they are told and be a happy tool. The kind of willfully stupid that even though they are fully capable of trying to understand what is going on they refuse to, because in thier messed up ideals they are right about everything no matter what. The Fred Phelps, The Earth was Made in 7 Days, Religious Terrorist, and Nazi kind of stupid.

Oh, so I wasn't the only one who thought of smiting them then. :)

Anyway, after the smiting, I would probably take a vacation. Go to Italy or something, raise up Machiavelli and have a nice chat with him. You know, so I can refresh my administrative skills and all that.

And in 2012 I would send a massive asteroid right at Earth, then make it disappear right before impact just to mess with everyone.

The Earth was Made in 7 Days.

I find it incredibly fascinating that you slur creationists for believing that God created the earth in 7 days in the midst of answering a question about what you would do if you were God and had infinite power.

If the common assumption we are making in the context of this thread is that God can pretty much do as He pleases, why is it so shocking that the earth could be created in seven days?

If I were God I wouldn't let people have as much free will to insult me and my followers, and free will to hurt their fellow man. Fortunately, I'm not God, because it would be counterproductive to take away people's free will, as then there would be nothing spectacular about it when people choose to do the right thing.

When God him/herself tells me they did it in 7 days I'll beleive them. You can't get every answer from a book written for people with roughly the same education as todays third grade student; the bible is a collection of stories and anectdotes that sort of like Aesop's fables are more or less words to help you live a moral and happy life, not something to be taken litterally.

And the question posed is what would I do if I was god, or at the very least had godlike powers, and that is what I would do; I don't care if its your opinion or not.

I'm operating under the assumption that one of the basic laws of being a deity is that you are required to listen to the inane prattle coming from your creation. I would really want to keep all the prerogatives of being a god without all the obligations, and, If that were a viable option, I would, of course take it. I suspect, however, that the laws of deity require an all or nothing commitment, so I abdicate.

Manifest myself, and actually bother to explain the reasoning behind the hundreds of commandments in my holy book. Provide people with the underlying reasoning for my ideas of what is right and good, as well as explaining all the seeming inconsistencies (like "thou shall not kill - except in the following 5000 circumstances").

And praise the atheists/agnostics for not just blindly obeying me. Every parent wants their children to grow up after all - and daring to disagree with daddy is a great step in that process.

I'm operating under the assumption that one of the basic laws of being a deity is that you are required to listen to the inane prattle coming from your creation. I would really want to keep all the prerogatives of being a god without all the obligations, and, If that were a viable option, I would, of course take it. I suspect, however, that the laws of deity require an all or nothing commitment, so I abdicate.

My dear ASD, as a God, you take orders from no one. You're the captain and the bridge is at your command. As soon as the plebeians start to prattle, just put them on mute. They would be entitled to whine, snivel, and otherwise bemoan their plight. Yet you would be under no obligation to listen.

Then instill a reverence for the earth like the American Indians have.Like driving herds of Bison over the cliff so they can use some of them to eat and make stuff and leaving the rest to rot? Their reverence for the earth has mythical proportions mostly because a good part of it is myth. Well, not that "the American Indians" are a homogeneous group in the first place.

Ah yes, and if I were the Christian deity, if my creation started to win an argument with me, using the rules I imposed on them, I could, as their God indeed does, either change the rules, ignore the rules or smite them. It's good to be God. *Looks for someone to smite."

Think about it, the Universe is God's head in it's infinite size, he talks to other God's in other infinite Universes.
The Wormholes link the galaxies and so his thoughts spin in orbit, let's hope he doesn't forget this thought in a hurry.
Sometimes he tries to show off, but occasionally he makes some really big mistakes, like black holes damn silly idea if you ask me.

Nah, I want others to read it. but it will alway revert to the original text (the only exception is language) so anyone trying to 'adapt' it will be in for a surprise.

Why? They are the source of lasagna, prosciutto, Parmesan cheese, and good looking men.

Get rid of the French, who stole their cuisine from Italy and then ruined it and have 452,000 words for victory in their language all of them meaning surrender.

The Italian language is musical and evocative, French is effeminate. Revolution in Italy unified the country. Revolution in France tore it apart leaving it open to a Corsican takeover.

When the Italians say "make love, not war" they really mean it. When the French say "make love, not war" they mean collaborate.

I suspect that the Maqui during WWII were French Jews and the illegitimate descendents of German, English and American soldiers from WWI. :rolleyes:
