So one day you're walking down the street and suddenly God appeared right next to you and told you that out of all the people on the planet, you're going to be the new deity of the planet and untold infinite power is yours. What would you do?
Suppose God gave you the keys to the car...

1. Eradicate disease
2. Adjust the climate to allow plentiful food to grow everywhere, effectively ending hunger.
3. Raise an island in the Pacific Ocean and populate it with dinosaurs.
4. Manifest myself in some out of the way country like Guatemala wearing an Arsenal jersey, just to mess with theologists/Tottenham supporters.
5. Retire to my house in the middle of Dinosaurland, and ride a triceratops.
EDIT:
6. A series of lightning strikes in Topeka, Kansas, completely destroying the headquarters of the Westboro Baptist Church, and leaving the words "GODDESS IS DISPLEASED WITH YOUR BULLSHIT" in scorched earth. I wouldn't actually kill any of them, but the next time one of them so much as thinks that I "hate fags", lightning bolt to the brain.

I wouldn't take it. My life can really suck, but not enough that I'm willing to take on the responsibility of the entire world on my shoulders.
I mean come, every time someone dies...you could have prevented that, but you didn't whether for good or bad. Every time a natural disaster happens, you gotta deal with all the people freaking out and praying and begging you for safety and return of loved ones.
I just think being God would suck.

I would do what I always do when given even the tiniest scrap of power: abuse the shit out of it, because I'm an asshole.
Sorry, but it's true.

EXPLOSION! BOOM! THUNDER! LIGHTING! HAIL!
Yeah, lots of fun I would abuse the power most likely, but then who really wouldn't have a little fun.

I don't think I would either.Screamarie said:
Oh it would be very tempting to literally have the power to set the world to rights, but where would it end? Yes, I could stop bad things from happening but in doing so I'd change the entirety of human society, and not necessarily for the better. You can't change human nature on such a scale without changing what humans are.
The only thing I would be tempted to do would be to manifest, just once, to every religious leader and every fanatic who pursues their own narrow minded, selfish and bigoted agendas in My name, and tell them in no uncertain terms "You're Doing It Wrong."
On the other hand (if you believe that sort of thing) God has tried that quite a few times, directly or indirectly through prophets, and it never works. Were Jesus or Muhammad to appear today they'd take one look at the things that have been done in Their Name and be extremely pissed off.
I would use my new found power to create a team of super geniuses so I can finally figure out why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch so much
The first three things of what I'd do in order:
1. Make Pokemon real
2. See if it's actually possible to create an object that is so heavy that even with my unfathomable powers, I cannot lift it.
3. Save humanity

I would use my power to make it so no God ever existed, and that the universe hadn't been created, that way atheists like me would be right...
Take the power, chill in the clouds watching everything happen on the worlds largest tv.
Maybe help people once in a while cause if I make it too obvious I exist then people will be begging every single second of the day and lose the ability to actually look after themselves >.>

I would treat my worshippers with kindness and respect, spread the word of love and make sure that everyone loves one another. I would ask for nothing in return...though if they feel like it, a temple would be nice.
Also, constant thunderstorms because thunder is awesome and not at all the sign of forthcoming evil.

I would first deny my own existence for about two years, and after that just settle on me being an agnost, because I don't know what's real anymore due to losing my FUCKIN mind.
After that, interstellar space travel, and introducing magic as a 5th elemental force. WHOO!
