If you were God ....

Okay .. keeping in mind that Lucifer thought he could do better than God and got damned for all eternity for screaming "I will not serve .... " ( I just had to put that dislaimer on this thread! )

If you were God for a day what would you do? What would you change? Would you leave everything exactly as it is and trust that God knows exactly what He is doing, or would you give a little tweek here and there ?????


I'd make a few tweeks, which God (in His infinite wisdom) would probably tweek back as soon as I was done ....

- I'd completely heal the planet. All soil, air, and water polution would be gone. This in turn would cause a huge decrease in diseases - like Asthma etc. I'd be sure that people knew it was GOD that took care of it and that it was a second chance to get it right. This would reaffirm to those questioning that God does exist and it would also help people.

- I'd make the earth a fruitful garden again. Any spare patch of ground would be fertile and fruitful.

- I'd make all diseases go away, at least for my one day. I know that God has His reasons for allowing these things, but for one day I'd make everyone pain free and disease free so they could be with their families and say whatever they need to say to each other. Addictions to drugs and alcohol (and sex and porn etc etc) would be gone for my one day. God would probably put it all back after my day, but at least people would get a day of relief.

- I'd straighten out the religion thing. Massive numbers of different religions all across the planet just confuse people. I'd tell it like it is. Probably from a booming voice out of a cloud that the entire planet could hear. Something majestic and oh-so-cool.

- I'd kill the common cold .. unless it is here to keep evil aliens from coming down and taking over the planet. If the common cold is a defensive thing then I'd let it stay .. but I'd make people immune from it.

- I'd expose liars for the entire day I was 'in office' as God. I'd make it appear that fire was shooting out of the mouths of liars whenever they said a lie. Everyone would see it. Everyone would know truth from lie - at least for one day.

- I'd make sure that every adult could read and write in their native language.

- I'd publish a newspaper/internet site that had the truth about all sorts of things - Aliens, government coverups, UN coverups, political payoffs, agendas of all the different political groups and religions .... It would be too much info for everyone to be able to read everything in one day .. but the highlights would be there for all to see.

And now the biggie ... I know this will cause some to gasp ... I'd make very person on the planet STERILE for 20 years. That's right. No babies. Not just for overpopulation reasons, but to make people understand how precious life really is and that it is a gift that can be taken away.

And YOU?? What would you do if you were God for a day??

If I were god....

Well I think some sort of natural disaster which nearly kills some major islamic fundamentalists, so they get the message that what they believe is wrong would be a start.

I'd also make it so people could use vacuum energy/zero point energy so there would be no more energy problems.

Getting rid of global warming's a good idea, to me a hot summer is bad enough, without global warming.

Maybe giving america some tell tale sign that either yellowstone will erupt, or a mega tsunami will come their way so they do not underestimate nature.

If I were God, I'm not so sure I'd put any more effort into this franchise. Gotta' be a rock somewhere else in the universe with a bit more potential.

However, if pressed into service--I'd probably raise to heaven the inventor of the cast iron skillet. The cast iron skillet has provided more benefit to humanity than any other single item.

First off, I would make it to were the Flyers would actually win a few games this year. I mean God probably likes a good hockey game or two. Maybe I will do the same for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Second, I would also make the Earth a bountiful garden again. No ground will go unused no stone unturned.

Third, I would get Pete rose into the Hall of Fame. I mean the guy has admitted to betting on baseball, albeit 15 years too late.

Fourth, like FlyersFan, I would also expose every single lie, conspiracy, and political nonsense in the world today. Only, I would not do it on a website. I would have someone go on the tv and spill the beans about the government and their coverups.

Fifth, I would absolutely wipeout pollution as we know it today. We would have clean air to breathe and very clean water to be able to drink without any risks and such et al.

....I would turn the whole of humanity into atheists and return the believers back to a life uncluttered with nonsensical ideologies of an unseen,unknown consciousness for which not one grain of irrefutable evidence exists. The fiction of me would be obvious and all those who clutched to the myth of my existence would get their life back.:
:bash:

Why not just give proof of your existence, or are you thinking of this argument from the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

GOD BLESS YA!!!!!!!!!!!

Also - the rest of your post sounds a bit like mine. Clean up the entire planet; be bold and tell people God did it; give everyone, and the earth, a second chance.

If I were God, I would also blab out the recent political scandals and who's at fault for covering them up. I would also make it my duty to see that the 2008 Presidential Elections go off with out a hitch. Who knows, maybe I'll let Giuliani win, if he is a good politician.

RUDY RUDY RUDY!!!!! He's our only hope against Hillary. Socially progressive. Conservative mindset with defense. Hates the 'beast on the east river' (UN). Ran for his life on 9/11 through NYC... so he won't ever forget and allow 'Allah Akhbar' to be the new pledge of school children.

Rudy Rudy he's my man!!

If I was God for a day,

I would first mock all the humans that I was better than them. After that I would set heaven on fire, kill Satan and destroy hell.

Finally, I would strip myself of all my powers and come join humanity, because thats where all the cool kids hang out~!

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm having a bad day.....but I think I'd just admit I made a mistake and blow humans off the planet and start over from scratch.

Now you guys have to remember this..........
That one day in our time is period of one thousand years to God.

Id give folks back free television like it used to be in the good old days. Free power and gas. That way they could afford to pay thier rent or wouldn't it be cool if no one had to make payments on a house just like in the good old days. Then they could afford a new car.

If I were god, I'd kill myself. Who could live with all the mistakes. I mean looks what's gone wrong. The earth will be doomed in some time, people kill and fight over religion and any other thing that they can think of, nameless numbers of disease, suffering of all kinds against all living things, etc. Yep if I was god for a day I'd admit that I'm a failure and get it over with.

If I were g-d..

Well, first I'd figure out just how I existed, where/when I came from.

Than I'd destroy myself, thereby making it where no god exists.

I'd just tease mortals.

Yes, let's make the mortals on Earth mad at us. Let's send a hurricane to Miami, a snowstorm to Philadelphia.........wait a minute. Can we actually do that?

simple destroy every living thing on the person that thinks about causing pain to others or doe cause pain and greef to others,
(that would be like almost everyone) and then sew some fresh seeds that arent corrupted by hate

Can't see why you couldn't do that, as the effects aren't restricted to one day, so maybe I'lll extend my previous idea and make Yellowstone actually blow up. Oh and while I'm at it, an asteroid to take out the southern Hemisphere too.

Oh, and sorry for going off the idea of the thread.

I would do nothing different;

For Man must come to me through free will. If I were to reveal my presence, act in any overt manner or cause some creation that could only be attributed to me, then I take from Man the very free will I bestowed upon Him.

Man must love me, He must love me because he chooses to. That is all I ask and all I require of Him for entry into My kingdom.

Faith is belief without proof.
