Depends on the kind of god you mean. Are we talking about self-sufficient omnipotence or is the godly power tied to prayers and devotion flying my way? If it's the latter it'd be hard to predict for me, but in the case of the first option I'd probably be a good god. I mean, unless you're a total bastard you do bad things if you stand to gain something from the result of your deeds, but if you're already all-powerful, untouchable and completely independent, why would you act like a douche?
We are talking godly powers tied to prayer and devotion.
I assume you mean world gods; since when did old world gods have powers tied to believers?
Immortal people that forged the world, (or were born/became immortal somehow and overthrew the makers of the world) and have running battles, affairs, petty rivalries and play games; the kinds of gods that make stupid mistakes and like to show-off. They usually just were. they existed as states of nature or as ordinary people become powerful.
Worshipping was just what you did to avoid annoying them or to ask for their support.
Anyway I could just be an exaggerated version of myself in no particular way evil and not persistently good, often petty and argumentative but overall reasonable. I'd probably be some kind of fate god because actual worshippers would annoy me no end.
The very humanity of these sorts of gods makes them way more interesting then some pristine unquestionable good\evil deity.
in which case I'd have to pick good because that irritating conscience thing holds me back from doing anything genuinely wrong.
edit - because I hit post instead of preview and wasn't ready. D'oh!
