If I Were

God, what a strange thought that is, to be the ultimate I Am of the universe. What powers I would have, to both help and hinder humanity, but that is not what I would do.

No, my plan would be as it was written that man takes what I have provided and do with it what he will. I have given him a brain to use and to think rationally. Up here we still call it free choice and free will. Down there they say, damned if you do and damned if you don't.

As to powers, then I would say they have always worked, for I did create both Adam and Eve and I did create all life, which now is taken over in a multitudes of births over the eons, so yes, they would look no differently, including all the animals, and both fish and fowl.

But were there one thing I would change, is to keep sickness out of people, but I cannot do that for it would upset the balance of the timeline. People must die so that others can be born.

As to praising me, again, that is free choice and free will. You decide, but know and understand this, when the day of judgement falls upon your passing, your life will be accounted for in both good and bad. Do I want them to think highly of me? Of course, I do, for the world holds all my children, but like most children, they don't listen and want to go their own way. So be it. One thing I have always hoped for is that passing time makes them somewhat wiser as they age. Learn their mistakes and correct them. But, my children, it may take several mistakes both large and small before they figure out everything to give themselves the true life they were meant for.

Finally, as to what is moral; making the right choices and administer them to your life. Both up here and down there, the saying is the same, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." But keep in mind, if you are threatened, bullied and beaten, it also means do not strike out in anger. For there is another saying that started up here and traveled down there.

"Revenge is bitter-sweet, but mercy is ever-lasting."

*****

I have to admit, pretending to be God for five minutes was interesting, but I wouldn't want his job.

Different

If I was God...just for day, I’d like to look back on all the things they made. See where they landed and how they flourished. I’d want to create things of my own but I’d disturb the balance. And no, I don’t think it would be right but I’ve seen how we are and think no magical snap would save it all. I could make everyone the same so there would be no shame among people. But where’s the fun and life in that? We’re our own creators and movers and shakers and doers. I would still fight for the injustice the next day because as long as people are different, there will be difference in our division. But that’s what makes us beautiful. The reason I’m different is the reason I’m me. So I’ll sit and think on the ifs and maybes but I want to see difference in the world I see.

A Wish

If I was God, I'd only use my powers for one thing: to grant my friend a wish. One wish, because I know what she'll wish for. Her particularly because she can't hold her breath any longer. I know she'll do anything to get this one thing: cry, hurt others, hurt herself and maybe even sell her soul if she had the chance. But one wish, I'd give her. One, so she doesn't have to sacrifice a part of herself. One, so she won't drown.

And honestly, that's all I would do if I were God. The world was incomplete without war, famine, hate, and everything bad. Without all those calamities, we wouldn't have come to appreciate the small happy detours life granted us. I know what you're thinking: isn't it kind of hypocrital of me to grant my friend a life-altering wish when I was blabbing on about how the world would be incomplete without it's yang balancing the yin? It is. But she's my friend, and I want to be the yin that balances out the yang in her life. Contradicting, but I do it from the heart. Maybe this is why I haven't trascended into a God yet.

Curse of Life

I regret making them. Maybe that's a bad thing to say, and they'll see me as "bad", but at least they'll have a reason to hate me. I mean, I thought of everything. I had made them a garden to live in peacefully. I had crafted them in my image. I had done everything I could think of to make them happy! Now, I regret when they come back to me. So full of questions. So accusatory. That last one though... It was a school shooting. Every single one that came for Judgment, asked me where I was. Where was I? My hands are bleeding from how I was biting my nails. My eyes are still puffy from crying. I couldn't do anything. I blocked that after the flood. I just couldn't know I murdered my creations anymore, no matter how pissed I was with them.

I woke to the moans of purgatory. They blame me for their underachieving. Every morning, I awake to pleas to pass tests, apologies from cheating husbands, and being cursed for some people's existence. Occasionally, though the madness, I can hear true needs. A mother pleading for her baby to beat cancer. A husband hoping his husband can beat drug addiction. A child in a quiet room asking for protection from the monsters outside. A once lost soul praying for other lost souls to find me like they did. I help them as best I can before the bad come sback and reminds me that I am a worthless Creator and that I abandoned them as if I don't watch on eggshells and remind myself that every person on earth is strong enough to handle their own. They don't believe it though, and I get blamed.

The words hurt... and sometimes I just want to end it. but when I was at my lowest, so were my humans. Genocide reigned because they got too inflateed in the head and some turned on others. Crusades were waged because they thought I wasn't listening. People were enslaved in my name because they found more land. Disease ravaged populations because I couldn't protect all of them in my mindset. I barely fixed it, and tried to make my people, but as time went on, it seemed like if I didn't take care of them, my humans would fail. They don't believe in themselves. They don't believe in each other. They don't realize that they are strong enough to change the world and control the destiny of the population. I mean, I didn't fix things after all of the times I gave up. I helped, but before I could snap my fingers and change everything, they rose up. They fought and keep fighting.

I guess the thing is, I know now I can't leave, and I'm getting used to the fact that no matter what happens, I will be blamed. But, I have to get used to realizing that my people just don't know how capable they are. So, maybe I'm not a bad Creator... I mean, I did the best thing any Creator would do. I made my creations not need me... But why do I still feel so terrible?

Children

If I were a god

I would make myself kind

I would shape myself

To an ideal design

But to be an almighty

Is a dangerous task

And I would soon grow bored

With not a friend to last

I would shape my children

To be strong and smart

I’d give them great brains

But a very flawed heart

But a tale is not told

Without conflict

I would make an antagonist

A galactic convict

So terrible is he

That my children would shake

But the power within

Would not allow them to break

As their foe is defeated

They would curse my name

For bringing them fear

And unimaginable pain

They would craft great contraptions

And enter my domain

They would call me fiend

And declare I shall be slain

And when I look upon my children

Who had conquered the stars

I would realize my faults

And proclaim from my heart

I am not perfect

It shall never be so

But a wanted a creature

Who could teach me hope

It is lonely in this Void

My solitary domain

I only wanted others

Who could understand my pain

Now that I’ve seen

What all you have done

I am proud of my children

And I know you have won

With that it would pass

That my soul would rest

And a new child of mine

Would apply for the test

He would sit on my throne

Claiming he will be better

And I would watch with pride

I would bring provision. Oh wait, he does that! From such a loving place. What a Savior, he loves us enough to not only save us, but change us.

Creation

I am god the creation of my own little world however that was just a play on words. If I was “God” (aka the one above all.) Everything would be the same with the exception of an absolute law (just like law of nature it simply cannot be overcame) “All must exist without harm to one another meaning coexistence whether it be aliens ghosts, humans etc... all life will follow this. Consequence: If whomever intent is to harm in any form then whomever life is forfeit in 3 days.”

If I were god, I would determine the live of people based on their choices instead of making it a coincidence.

People who consequently lie or even try to kill somebody should not be part of this wonderful world.

People who are honest and nice to everybody and everything should be able to live a long and healthy life without troubles.

I would only allow them to eat animals which were treated in a good way until they had to leave this world.

Nevertheless, even the nice people would have to leave the world eventually. I would make them leave the world when they are old enough to have seen all the things that matter to them.

In order to show people their wrong choices I would give them a sign. Like a cold for the beginning.

Imagine a world without liars and bad people.

I would really like a world like this.
