Wertbag Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If you were god for a day, with absolute power, knowledge and love, what would you do to make the world a better place? I would start by wiping out fatal diseases that kill otherwise perfectly healthy people (aids, ebola, plague, degenerative diseases, cancers, malaria etc), I would remove parasites (worms, ticks, mossies etc) making sure to replace with a benign insect if other animals rely on them for food. I would inspire an energy breakthrough to give humanity a clean, almost unlimited source of power. I would settle the tectonic plates to stop volcanoes and earthquakes. I would turn off the gene to grow wisdom teeth. I would make all psychotic killers have a stroke and drop dead. With unlimited power there would be no issues that could arise that couldn't be easily dealt with. God hasn't even made earth as good and safe as our limited imagination can. I could understand that from an uncaring deist type god, but not from an all-loving Christian god. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted October 30, 2018 Super Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks for that. I think it illustrates the basic problem with the concept of an anthropormorphic deity. It wouldn't work. It seems with enough in depth study we will find that our world could not exist at all if we lacked "problems" such as death, pain, tectonic plates in motion and natural disasters. Some of what goes on we judge as good and other things we believe to be bad. But we need both to maintain continued survival. It's the only reality there is, and it works! After all, how would you ever know you were happy if you never experienced sadness? Utopia would actually be a very boring Hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted October 31, 2018 Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'd start by proving I was real. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 first things first. Id get some random volunteers to write down my desires. Id need to create an eternal fiery hell for anyone who didnt do exactly what my various followers infer that I want from everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinas Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'd just admit I'd bolloxed it all up to start with and quietly wipe out the entire planet out of sheer embarrassment 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'd probably realize how pointless we are in the grand scheme of things and not bother doing much of anything. mwc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an extremely misogynistic perspective, it is better to teach a virgin exactly like you like to be pleased, than to have to undo a bunch of annoying habits she learned pleasing other men. I don't agree with said perspective; but I do understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that thinking has a narcissistic, and even sadistic flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
