What If God Were One Of Us?
Tomorrow you will wake up and You will be God. What kind of God would you be? What would you have as priorities on your God agenda? What would your commandments be? What would you consider a sin? What would you do with people when they die? What would you do with the people who had done very bad things?

I imagine that Ebon would be like Bruce Almighty and I would be more like Morgan Freeman.
As far as your questions, I believe in recycling, so I'd be a heavy advocate of incarnation. I would be a very open minded God, I think. And I'm a natural voyeur, so I think that could work out very well. As for bad folks, it depends on what they did. Pedophiles and sexual deviants of the not-fun and non-consenting variety would have a special place in Hell. First on my God agenda? Making the Reunion. |

I've often wondered if Jesus was already one of us here.. I can't really think about this now, it's mind boggling to think what I would say to the questions which you ask, Nat. Hmmm? Time to contemplate more I guess. Bookmarking for a later date.

Without really giving it too much thought, and without considering if there might be other gods too, my first thought off-the-cuff is, why would I need any people at all? I could fill a world with animals and birds and fish and be just fine. I never really believed in hell, but I do understand the concept of the Christian hell, I just don't really see a point in it.

I'm an atheist so I believe that heavan is upon earth and godhead resides in all. there is nothing supernatural.
what would I do if I rules the universe? make universal laws to govern everything so I could fuck off and not bother. also, there would be no sin. As someone who lives outside of time and human judgement, there is no such thing. judgement is for mortals. they can sort that out for themselves. I'm surfing around in a supernova. |

I don't believe we are God, but I believe all of us are a facet of a Universal "power" or spirit, that many people call God. I believe God is within us, not up in the sky or out there somewhere, running the show.
So, in that belief, I don't believe in a God agenda, like President of the Universe. If I had some kind of power to set the commandments of the world (putting aside the likely existence of other worlds), I think it would only be "Be good to one another". All the commandments stem from that one. I don't believe in the idea of sin, because whoever comes to power (even "God") gets to decide what the sins are going to be. I can't picture coming up with a list of sins so heinous that they cover every culture in every place and time. What we consider repugnant was or is considered very normal somewhere. I don't believe in the "traditional" heaven or hell, so that's hard to answer, too. I believe something happens to our spirits after death, but what that is, I have no idea. Maybe we stay here, close to people we loved (or haunting the places that either we loved or that hurt us). I think it would be impossible to get everybody to agree on a list of "very bad things", similar to the sins list. How bad do you have to be to go way over the line into non-redemption? I can't picture drawing that line as "God".

Right off the cuff, and so early in the morning, here are some quick thoughts:
First I would reduce the world population by recycling all politicians, war mongers, and criminals. Since I'm god I know who the true criminals are, so if you were still alive and standing in the penal system you would be set free because you were wrongfully incarcerated. I would recycle them into trees, both fruit and non-fruit bearing. Laws would carry immediate retribution. You have the thought to kill, rape, whatever....the instant you but the plan into action.....poof you are recycled. Don't have time for that, and it would leave your victim uninjured. I think I would somehow want to work in that I, as god, am not to be put upon a pedestal or used to judge others or used for wars. Which again wouldn't exist because the minute a leader tried to rise that had conquest in their heart....poof recycled. My first priority after what I anticipate to be a great cleansing, would be to begin the process of healing our planet and our relationships with our fellow man. I would initiate some kind of return to simpler times. Where we spoke to each other, and grew things, and shared. That's all I got for this moment. Oh, and I would cure disease, but set a fixed time to die for everyone. You just go to sleep on the night of, say, your 70th birthday and the next morning some family somewhere discovers they are pregnant. Somehow, I would need to control world population, so I think I would probably tie births to deaths somehow. Incredible thread Nat! Thanks! |

If I were God I'd dry up the world's oil supplies so there could be no wars about it. Nations would have to consider other fuels.
If I were God I'd destroy all automotive vehicles that run on oil based fuel. If I were God bad things would still happen to good people. No God can stop the inhumanity of humans, unless all humans become beings with no self will at all. If I were God I'd make people who gossip mouths heal up Not really answering the OP but it's what sprung to mind |

I don't believe in a corporeal god, I think it is the sum of our consciousness and all living things and systems added together.
That being said I really like the idea of being an old school low key god, Like Christina, goddess of the knobby gnarly ancient trees, delicious baked goods and who also does a minor diety gig in learning and education. Oh and I wanna hippogryf to be my companion and transportation.

Hah how super amazing that this thread popped up.
It's been on my mind big time lately. i don't know what i believe in. No, that's not true, i know what i do not believe. i do not believe that there is a God who is in charge, if so, God has some explaining to do. i am learning that for me, God is my higher power, my perfect self. Raised Catholic its hard to unwire it all, but it never made sense to me. i believe in Deities, the Saints, the Spirits, and as of late i wonder if this is even true. Some things don't make sense to me, like why men have nipples. i long for something to make sense. None of it makes sense. We are so perfectly designed, i know it was not a fluke, something with much more intellect than we have, created us and i feel is out there somewhere. And if i were God in charge i would probably wipe it all out and start over. |

Interesting questions...
My answer came to mind as soon as I read the question.
I am a Christian and I believe very strongly in God. With that said, I could never fathom someone else being God, let alone myself. But if God said to me, "Tony, you're God for a day. What will you change or do?" My answer would be simple. Nothing. There is a reason and a season for all that God does and I would never presume to be capable to question that. He is my higher power. In the end, He is who I will answer to. No one else. I have complete faith in His judgement and what He has created. Not meaning to sound like I'm preaching here. Just answering from my own perspective based on my faith and spirituality.

lol, I so don't want that job!
Great thread, tough subject matter! It's so subjective, really; but here is how I personally feel [without getting too pedantic] about it right now. Subject to change at any moment, of course, because I'm a Gemini and we have been known to do that from time to time, lol.
If I were God, I would be duty-bound to preserve free-will above all other principles; because without it, no good will follow. Unfortunately, this means a lot of awful, wretched things will befall many innocent parties. I hate that; but I truly feel that lasting change can only begin on an individual level and that everyone must, therefore, be given governance over all of their own actions. [The revolution starts within, so to speak]. Conversely, it is important to note that this also renders everyone entirely responsible for any and all harm they cause and I, as God-for-a-day, would have to see to it that commensurate consequences were meted out. I think there are ways of accomplishing that without resorting to "eye-for-an-eye" tactics, which I find equally abhorrent. On the other hand, if I were to wake up one fine morning as mere mortal, but Supreme Dictator; The Honorable and Amazing Huge-Smile, Benevolent Ruler of All Countries and Peoples, heads would roll! [And if the thought of me in charge of all of that doesn't get all the world immediately praying; well then, all hope for humanity is truly lost, lol]. Last edited by Smiling; 11-20-2013 at 10:44 AM. Reason: I should add that as God, I also have the power to profusely reward those who suffered at the hands of another. Think Lotto! |
