If you were God, what would you do?

[Xain-Russell]

I'd act like Q.

If I got bored, I'd make other universes based on TV shows, Books, movies, video games, ets. and then act like Q in those.

Why?

Because Ponies.

 

[Stravant]

Make the USA adopt socialised health care.

Also this might seem very immoral to most people, but I'd also start World War III (But I'd disabled all the country's nuclear weapons first)

Why?

Because the Earth is severely overpopulated, the human race could use some trimming now and then.

 

[llew]

Take human form
then
have fun fucking with the world.

pretty much this, but i would fuck with the world in a way that may cause me immense pain if i fuck it up too much so i dont cause hell on a monumentum scale

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Assuming i don't go mad and kil myself, copy/paste the earth into another reality and destroy it. After that i'd go to regular earth and get up to all sorts of shenanigans. Example: make all clothing vanish overnight but let nobody realize it until midday.

Also, i'd turn the WBC into immortal cows, they could be "killed" and eaten but they would be fully aware the whole time, experiencing the sensation of being slaughtered, cut up, eaten, digested and shat out. They would be shits for a hundred years at which point they would wake up in front of the world press, absolutely flabbergasted at what had just happened.

 

[razing32]

1.Prove my existence (and make Bill o'Rilley drown in a tide)
2.Heal every human being on the planet of every illness physical/mental

 

[Psychedelic Spartan]

destroy everyones pants. yep. Just like I shall soon do in Skyrim when my pickpocket gets to 100.

 

[ThreeWords]

Disappear in a puff of logic

 

[slackbheep]

Start looking for other intelligences.

 

[Burst6]

I would start off by nudging the genes of the human race to make them more intelligent and logical, while taking out some of the more annoying traits of humanity. Sort of like optimizing humankind. I'll do it over a few generations.

Then i put a giant shield over the solar system and leave humans to do whatever (hopefully my plan makes everyone play nice).

I'll go and play around with the universe. Maybe make it infinite, make teleportation easy, stabilize things a bit, things like that.

After I'm done ill go to a nice planet, fill it with pleasurable things (*wink*), and then play around there. After that I'll just improvise.

 

[Grospoliner]

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?

Personally, though, I honestly don't know what I would do. Fix wars, stop hunger... I can't think of anything better than that.

But surely you, Internet, have much better answers.

I think that I would attack mankind on a level that it could defend against so that it would not be destroyed outright but would have to struggle to survive.

It is part of our nature to seek conflict, it is written into our DNA. We must all fight to survive against other hostile organisms doing likewise. If there was no conflict in our lives, we would have no motivation to improve. We would stagnate, only maintain the barest minimum to enable us to survive, and eventually stagnate to the point were we stop breeding and die out.

So I would create inhuman creatures to attack humanity to force them to unite against a common enemy. Give them an enemy to fight, one that they have to constantly learn to improve themselves against and they will stop worrying about petty details. I might even present myself as the leader of the enemy, and I would do it in such a way to make them think I was a naturally occurring creature as opposed to some magical entity. The reason for that would be that magical thinking prevents progress and allows people to be ruled by fear.

By providing a universal threat and destroying those humans who fail to adapt I think I could steer humanity to a better path.

 

[cthulhumythos]

turn into a duck and sleep with a women.

 

[Dethenger]

I would will myself out of existence.

I really fucking hate being wrong.

 

[gigastar]

I would do what Armok; God of Blood would do with his Slaves in a hypothetical Chapter 2 named Dwarf Fortress would do, toss away the current world and start a fresh one then get popcorn and watch that go to shit as well.

"The destruction of the world by Armok will arise inevitably in most game worlds. As civilizations spread and the frontier closes, the world will start to look homogeneous. Armok, looking upon this decadence in disgust, will reform the world. Basically, when the universe has become too boring, it will be changed."

 

[Kapri]

CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!!!

 

[blind_turtle]

Make a turkey sandwich. Life shouldn't be fucked with.

 

[SD-Fiend]

bend the world and myself to my ever changing desires of course

 

[yookiwooki]

Based on the way that I play SimCity, things would get pretty Old Testament around here real fast

 

[willis888]

Exactly what I'm doing right now.

Omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence imply an infinite unity of being. All things would be you and you would be all things. Any compartmentalized portion would contain the whole of infinite being - infinity divided by anything is infinity.

I/we and we/I already are God, but for reasons intentionally made difficult to discern from our frame of reference, a decision was made to experience ourself from the subjective perspective of entities operating within an illusion of otherness.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Fail to show signs that I exist, so that anything I do could be perceived as natural circumstances, coincidence, or something that was supposed to happen anyway. /trollGod

 

[Innegativeion]

First thing I would do is create a perfect entity with infinite love, mercy, etc. bla bla bla to replace me with who, making sure said entity enjoys running the universe by its nature, and then incarnate myself as a human. Existence without challenge is boring...
