Temporarily suspend free will and disinvent guns
Now that's a God I can believe in.
Deuce said:Nonsense. It's a hypothetical.
Deuce said:If you were offered a choice between Pepsi and Dr. Pepper, which would you choose?
Is your answer "Nobody is presently offering me, so the question is contradictory!"
This will be based on if souls are eternal and live on after they die
I would reveal myself to all men and carve "god is real" on the near side of the moon the following day. The next day, I would descend down to earth and eradicate all diseases. I would take over earth and help humanity advance even faster than it is now and I would set these commandments:
1. no murder
2. no rape
3. no slavery
4. no stealing
5. do not hold back science
6. show love to your neighbor
7. show some appreciation
There will be no victimless sins under my administration.
Almost everyone in hell would go to heaven because they were in there for a long time. No one will die under me but if they did then some of them would serve a short sentence in purgatory and then get released in paradise which will be like the garden of eden. Murderers and rapists would spend eternity in the outer darkness which is pure blackness for the rest of eternity. Permanent hell would be for the worst like hitler. Heaven will be an exclusive club for angels and maybe people I knew before I became God.

Then, hypothetically, what if you discovered a married bachelor? Tell me about this hypothetical married bachelor.
No, I would choose probably not to drink one, as I don't like soda, but if I had to choose, it would be Dr. Pepper. There's no contradiction in the choice, or the question that presents the choice. There is, however, a contradiction in asking any of the following questions:
1. What if you found a four-sided triangle?
2. What if there were a married bachelor?
3. What would you do if you were God?
The questions are not answerable in any direct way that respects the definitions of the words employed. Human beings cannot be God in the same way that a four-sided shape cannot be a triangle.
radioman said:Man.....you are really overanalyzing this question.
Someone poses a simple question and, rather than respond, you go on and on about how illogical the question is.
radioman said:You're like Mr. Spock from Star Trek.......boring....
radioman said:Not really a life-of-the-party type are you?

I'd relegalize lawn darts.

What would you do if you were God?
the_recruit said:You're not being charitable here.
the recuit said:There is a meaningful sense in which to ask the OP's question. Just like there's a meaningful way to ask the question "What would you do about Syria if you were the President?". A person who asks this is not posing a logical contradiction (that someone who is not Barack Obama could be Barack Obama) but asking something more along the line of "what would you do about Syria if you had the powers available to the President". In this sense there is no logical contradiction. Just because the powers available to the President are not available to the_recruit it doesn't seem to be incoherent to imagine a world in which the_recruit had such powers available to him.
the_recuirt said:This is what the OP is asking. If you had available to you the powers available to God, what would you do with them?
