First, I would extend my time as God until I no longer wanted to be God. — ToothyMaw
Then I would peer inside 180 Proof's head to see if he actually thinks the way he writes. — ToothyMaw
And then I would make a cool afterlife for everyone in which they could leave whenever they want. — ToothyMaw
But everyone must still live out a shitty life on Earth first, so they can appreciate just how cool the afterlife I made for everyone is.

Seriously though, I have no idea. — ToothyMaw
What would you consider good? What would you consider bad? How would you define your godly morality? In what way would your power and wisdom manifest? What say you of free will and determinism? — Benj96
Ah interesting indeed. You would give them the contrast to a super cool afterlife, a paradise of sorts, so they could appreciate it by contrast through the imperfections of living? Seems clever and rational. — Benj96
And then I would make a cool afterlife for everyone in which they could leave whenever they want.
— ToothyMaw
Where would they leave to? Living again? Or some purgatory of total non-awareness and oblivion. Would some memory wiping be in order here? — Benj96
Okay, I'll take this seriously. I would allow anyone who no longer wants to suffer (perhaps in a specific way) to elect to no longer suffer, whatever that would entail. That is the main thing I would do. — ToothyMaw
It was a joke. I wouldn't do that. — ToothyMaw
Whatever each individual person would want. I could easily determine what each would want with omniscience. I would actually replicate each person and then ask their replicas what they would want, because it would be too creepy to just create new realities for people based on mind-reading. — ToothyMaw
I would unbecome God as quickly as I could, then, as I have no desire to be (a) God. — ToothyMaw
, what would you do with your time as this entity? — Benj96
If you wish to continue Im curious to see how it evolves. Are you? — Benj96
Hmm okay I'm following. Perhaps instead of replicating them might I suggest you could merely choose not to know what they're thinking and ask them what they think? As that would be entirely in your power, to bestow them with privacy of mind. — Benj96
, what would you do with your time as this entity?
— Benj96
Nothing. Why the people should expect something from me for being God? — javi2541997
In essence, what sort of god would you define yourself as? — Benj96
Nothing. Why the people should expect something from me for being God? — javi2541997
Sure, that sounds even better.
In my earlier comment I added that I would make a failsafe that would default the world back to how it was before I became God if the majority of people wanted it to be so. I think that that would make things less scary. — ToothyMaw
This whole thing makes me uncomfortable, but yeah, sure. — ToothyMaw
Not sure. But since nature is so cruel and so poorly designed, I'd probably try to fix it and remove the diseases and design flaws and weaknesses and predatory behaviours which abound in this current wonky, barbaric 'creation'. — Tom Storm
You would just fuck things up. Anyone would. I hope there's a reset button. — T Clark
Damn dude. You don't think you would do anything good if you could? — ToothyMaw
Oooh. Yes I agree a failsafe is a good thing to have in place. I mean as God I'm sure you could undo anything, reverse time to any point. So you could rest assured that any mistake you make you can simple rewind and restart.
Wipe the slate clean as it were. — Benj96
You choose how to be. If you want to be non-interfering and simply observing that's your perogative. Who are we - any mere human, to question your authority? — Benj96
No, because I do not know what is the meaning of "good" — javi2541997
It is interesting that you see God as an authority. I just see it as pure escapism. I cannot figure out all the problems and uncertainties of the people because that's would be being against the nature of humanity. If you want to question my authority, please go ahead. Isn't it a real act of reedom? — javi2541997
Well, I guess you don't care much for ethics. — ToothyMaw
I would spend eternity musing about how absurd my existence was and trying to see if I can see myself.
I would wonder why I existed and what god like creature created me.
I would also wonder why I didn't have the answers to those questions. — universeness
I would then wonder who was I talking to? What 'I' meant and why was I thinking in English? — universeness
And yes I think any god that creates/created humanity (flawed beings) would have to give them free will, uncertainty, a lack of omniscience so that they might learn. So if one was an omniscient god it seems to allow for free will they would have to appear absent, illusive, a non existent parent departed from what they created. To allow for true independence. — Benj96
Actually, it would be impossible to unbecome God potentially, so I would just make myself no longer exist so as to maintain whatever world everyone wants after it is over. — ToothyMaw
You would just fuck things up. Anyone would. I hope there's a reset button. — T Clark
So you would wonder, be in awe of yourself, pursue your own mysterious existence, seek out a philosophy, question your own motives and rational for as long as you existed? Whatever form you take? — Benj96
How would you define your godly morality? — Benj96
Would you spread your truth? If so who would you tell and why? — Benj96
What say you of free will and determinism? — Benj96
In essence, what sort of god would you define yourself as? — Benj96
Interesting view but that can create a paradox: A God can be illusive and non existent but at the same time it needs to be believed by somone. Otherwise, the existence and omnipotence of God would be useless. What would be the point of a God's mercy if nobody is seeing around?
