I was just thinking about it, Necko, and we all already have eternal life! When you die in this world, you go and live in heaven or purgatory. This isn’t all that living is. Life goes on. This is just the palpable life that we live before life in eternity.

This would be something I would change if I was god.

1. I wouldn’t mess with free will so wars and senseless deaths will remain. I like the idea of free will and believe that people have the right to choice.

2. I would reveal myself to the world and in terms of death, I would make it so that all religions would be correct so that people who work to obtain their various religious desires will be successful and people who don’t subscribe to religion won’t be tied down to them. So only people who believe that they have eternal life would have it.

3. I would change the definition of a day to mean forever so I would remain god

4. change my username to 04godannA 😛

 

I might create polls for various choices of things like teraforming a planet or the moon, removing female’s periods, making all food have the nutritional value that you need at the time, and allow people to decided what they want.

So the senseless deaths of innocent women and children who are hit by bombs because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time are okay?
Hm – another ‘god’ I won’t be voting for.

That is the price of free will, the freedom to kill. I don’t feel the need to impose my will upon people, People should figure things out for themselves and not rely on me to fix their problems.

Plus innocent men are bombed also, I won’t be prejudges towards one gender or age so I treat everyone the same.

The freedom to kill is one thing; the “freedom” to be randomly killed through no fault of your own quite another.

Are you trying to say that God was wrong to give us free will?

Yeah, it’s wrong that innocent beings are murdered, but it literally happens every day, and most humans actually encourage and support that.

That happens with freedom, the freedom to bomb an area regardless of who is there.

Killings aren’t always at fault and fault can be subjective in peoples minds,

An example of diffent faults would be: giving someone a funny look for some people makes their death their fault in the mind of a person who killed them for that, stealing an apple can be cause for death for some people. Though I and others dissagre with their interpretation of fault they are still interpretations.

No – I’m saying that if God gave us free will he should also give innocent people the gift of protection from insane people exercising it to try and kill innocents.

Yes indeed – and so God should step in and protect the folks who don’t want to die – unless he is some sort of sick twisted psycho who doesn’t give a rats.

Which, by the way, I think god is if one exists.

For some religions, It could be argued that god does save them, though god transports them to another world called heaven.

If that’s true, then wow, God sucks.

I thought he was supposed to be benevolent?

That’s why the afterlife exists in some of the popular religions , this is just a test, like Earth would be school and the afterlife is adulthood. If you do good in school, you get to have success in adulthood, if you are bad then your adult life would be terrible.

Everyone has the potential for both innocence and sin.

Not everyone has an equivalent to hell. Some people believe in purgatory which is where you go before you can go to heaven, and you need to be prayed for to get out.

Sin comes with knowledge, so babes are sinless.

So at what point does God  step in? Is it just with wars or does that apply also to car accidents, illness etc? It cannot be that we all have free will yet at certain points expect God to turn up and stop the bad stuff happening, however that may be.

Who decides what is good – and bad? One person may believe just passing the exam is good, another that anything less than top marks and a shiny sticker is a massive fail.

So if you fail in school your life is basically over as its destined to awful? That seems hardly fair and offers no hope for improvement.

That is where non required school kicks in so that if people go their until they are able to live out a successful life (or afterlife)

 

And in this situation god would be the decider.

Would I still remember the future? If so, could I change the past to change the outcome of the future? Also, am I allowed to pretend I’m a fortune teller and inform them that they’ll be famous and make an album called Please Please Me ?

I am you as you are you as you are you and you are all together.

I’d quickly travel to the US, knock off Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductors and submit MY invention of the microchip. Immediately after that, I’d knock off the inventor of the Hula Hoop and submit MY invention to Wham-O.

They would – I have seen St Augustine argue that in the most boring book I ever (partly) read. He was insufferable – and an idiot (in my opinion).

As are the “some people” you suggest – again, in my opinion. And even if they ARE sinners they don’t deserve Auschwitz (again, in my opinion).

Which answers mmm about the sorts of things I think this deity should stop from happening. Just the occasional small interruption. Like having Hitler’s mother drop him on his head when he was a baby and the poor little mite dies.
