If you were God, what would you do?

[necromanzer52]

Appear to the world, and give them my 2 commandments:

1: Be excellent to eachother.
2: Party on dudes!

 

[Antitonic]

Definitively prove that I exist, then sit back and watch.

Occasionally step in to correct what people perceive to be my will.

 

[Devon Dent]

Cease to exist...that is all.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I would ironically punish atheists for their disbelief in the great and powerful me.

Wouldn't you then have to punish everyone because they haven't heard of you before?

 

[Aurgelmir]

Not exist

Because well I do not believe in god and all that...

 

[Guilherme Zoldan]

Not exist

Because well I do not believe in god and all that...

I think this exercise assumes your godself is real

 

[Aurgelmir]

No no, give them this and next they will tell you Santa Clause is real too!

I do not exist, therefore I am God!

 

[Zero47]

I would make the world an Utopia.

All would believe in me. I would issue unfallible justice in the mortal realm
and my verdict would always be right. I would see the cause of all pain and seek
to eliminate it.

 

[Crazycat690]

Show myself so people know I exist instead of punishing people for believing in something there's no proof for, then if they still go on being assholes after they know what's what then I'd punish the bad people. Afterwards I'd fix things up and be a competent God, no slacking here, no sir! Also, I do something about the devil, I'm almight goddamnit so I'd just make him disappear, yep yep, everything would be fine and dandy

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Spend my time saying 'No, I never actually said that"

 

[hazabaza1]

The same thing I do every day, OP.
Try to take over the world!

 

[esperandote]

Women, lots of them.

Other than that, kill all the scumbags in the world ala Dr. Manhattan.

 

[Hamish Durie]

lie back in my huge ass sofa and watch
(because who said god had to be nice >)

 

[Whispering Cynic]

I'd go have fun. Be creative, cruel, maybe even merciful if I ran out of ideas. With the ability to rewind time if needed to undo any screwups it would be easy to unwind. When I had my fill of death, destruction and science I'd just rewind it all and let the world run its course as it should.

I'd probably try eradicating all religion from the world though, just to see if it helps anything. I'm pretty sure it would.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Probably explore space for a while. Permaban cancer and stuff.
Just for the fun of it I would like to see Greek mythology first hand as well as explore some other legends/books.

 

[HardkorSB]

This is sort of in response to the "Admin of the Internet" thread, but obviously on a much larger scale. If you had total control over the known and unknown universe (or universes, only God knows) what would you do?

I would stop caring about this primitive planet and most of all, about our primitive species and move on to better things in the universe. If I wouldn't like what the universe is like, I would change it or create a new one, more to my liking.

 

[Hugga_Bear]

Remove the need for food/water so we didn't have that kind of trouble, ensure bacteria and viruses got the boot (or at least stopped them affecting humans but I find that a little difficult to reconcile).

Extend healthy lifespan so we do not degenerate but 'stop' instead. Extend life as a whole, presumably to the order of several hundred years at first, I'm sure my omniscient mind would have no need to experiment for the best length of time.

Allow humans more resources for important things.

Anytime a weapon is going to be used against another it turns into candyfloss. Increase habitable land vastly. Give humans fusion (or superior tech) as a boon for now, get humans off fossil fuels entirely actually, while they may get there eventually...

Clean the world, remove taint from our mistakes and living. Probably clean everything human as well, remove the dirt from the streets and buildings and renovate everyone's homes for them, give everyone some pretty nifty stuff...

Encourage further works by rewarding innovation and brilliance with some form of gift.

Set up an afterlife of sorts where they can be in my presence and we take them through things they want to do until they are ready to pass on*.

Hugely increase safety of various things, likely also hugely increase human (and animal perhaps) resilience to ensure that it's hard to die by accident without making the world grey.

*NB this is definitely alpha, no idea how well it would work in regards to certain individuals. Furthermore may end up just transferring more time to actual life, since it feels a bit rude to tear them from family then let them do anything but be with said family.

That's all I got off the top of my head. Oh and personal luxuries for me, obviously.

 

[LobsterMobster]

I'd just be that stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home.

 

[KrossBillNye]

I'd be Morgan Freeman.

That is all. Just sit back and let humanity do its thing and maybe from time to time have someone take over when I want to go on vacation.
