If i were God i would have a dream where i find myself typing in front of a computer that if i were God i would find my self typing in front of a computer that if i were God.. Hello? — punos
So? Have you heard how they talk about one another's gods? Those are my ancestors they're maligning. Wash out their mouths with bleach, consign them to some kind of hell of their own imagining, or ignore them? Tough choice... Naw! easy choice. I'm a very lenient and forgiving despot: ignore them. — Vera Mont
God doesn't exist. — universeness
If I'm god, you don't get to set my parameters or my default. I am that I am and that's all that Iyam — Vera Mont
What a great idea, An omnigod that can learn from the shortfalls of the previous god that held the position. Us mortals will be watching what you do god Vera! Remember what happened to that previous god you are typing about! :scream: — universeness
Three pages in three hours. Methinks you post too much.
Wannabes, all of you. — Banno
The OP describes my life so I guess I would just continue as normal. I am Alpha and Omega. The ‘world’ is my ‘creation’.
‘Good’ and ‘bad’ are just silly items like ‘happy’ and ‘sad’ — I like sushi

In what way do you mean "exist"? — Benj96
I think we can safely say if it didn't exist in your mind, you would have no means to use it in a sentence. Just as I can't use "shlemgipple" in a sentence unless the sentence is to define what a "shlemgipple" is for another. Then they can use the term Shlemgipple, argue about Shlemgipple, question the behaviour of, origin of, use of, appearance of, nature of - a Shlemgipple. — Benj96
Did I interpret this correctly? — Benj96
So, you have decided to ignore your creation due to disappointment with their performance so far. — universeness
You still have to tell me more about your contradictory feelings of despotism, leniency and forgiveness.
So perhaps it's time to tell them why you had a need to create them. Then they will know better.Maybe they just don't know any better. — Vera Mont
There is nothing contradictory about being a benevolent dictator. — Vera Mont
It's what all polities secretly or openly yearn for. Whenever they raise up a tyrant, or allow one to rise on their power, they're hoping that this time, this one, will keep his promises to protect them and make the right decisions for them, provide for them and make them great again. It's rarely happened, but they keep the faith. — Vera Mont
Not good enough. I think you are just a human who is trying to con us into thinking you are a god!All in good time. — Vera Mont

A god cannot be inaccurate! — universeness
Make up your omniscient mind god Vera, Despot or Benevolent Dictator, which is it? — universeness
Is this your way of admitting you are not an omnigod and are in fact fallible? — universeness
Do you have a gender, god Vera? — universeness
I think you are just a human who is trying to con us into thinking you are a god! — universeness
As a sentient conscious mind with intent. If god existed, we should be able to identify irrefutable intent in the early universe. — universeness
Are we participating in the same thought-experiment, or have you advanced to another level? — Vera Mont
random imaginings of the human mind do not create or give credence to, a god/universal sentient mind. In the same way that random fluctuating white noise (the CBR) does not contain an unknown musical masterpiece (even if aspects of string theory are true). — universeness
Gods will hopefully go extinct in the human psyche, in the not-too-distant future.
I hope so anyway! — universeness
I would fly down into Mauna Loa, the world's biggest volcano. Then hang out at the north pole building ice sculptures. Then fly away and explore the rest of the universe. — frank
Probably what would happen is that I would discover that Spinoza is right, the sense of self and intentions that bind my understanding is not the experience of a God who is busy being the possibility and actuality of all that was, is, and will be.
Seeing how much work that requires will make me glad I can quit after punching the clock for just one day. — Paine

Surely, seeing their faces distorted with rage, hate, pain and fear, lusting, mistrusting, longing, despairing, striving, starving; their pathetic little human faces turned to heaven, surely an omnipotent entity can afford them mercy. — Vera Mont
