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.
 
What is this "if" word of which you refer?

Scrap it and start over.
 
I'd resign on account of my track record so far having shown me to be incompetent.

If God meant it to be that way, God would've done all that you'd listed (if you were God).....at the time of creation.

Like, why create diseases if you're going to eradicate them anyway?

Each and every creation will probably have a permanent seal enblazoned, that says, "made by your God."
You'll see that prominently displayed too, on every stars and moon, etc whenever you peer through your telescope. :mrgreen:

"What would you do if you were God?"

Rebuild.
 
I don't know how good of a God I would be. Sure, I would cure disease and stop atrocities and natural disasters. But I would also be the worst prankster ever. I'd peek into really serious business meetings and make everyone fart at the same time. I would make it so if you are rude to someone it becomes impossible for your shoe laces to stay tied that whole day. Every picture of your food you take and post to social media will drain your phone's battery by 50%.

You know, godly things like that.
 
I would move peoples' keys around all the time.

I'd shut up the sanctimonious preachers that can't play "what if" but need to respond to virtually anything with a pompous sermon.

I wouldn't even put them in weird places. Just little shifts. Teleport them from the right side of the table to the left when you aren't looking. Maybe sometimes from the right pocket to the left pocket.

Reminds me of a prank I pulled on a co-worker once. Very OCD. He went on vacation. While he was away, I removed all the drawers from his desk and switched them to the opposite sides of his desk. Did the same thing with everything on the top of his desk... reversed everything so it was in the mirror position. He told me that when he got back, he new SOMETHING was off, but it took him an hour to figure out what.
 
Well hangovers would be a thing of the past
 
I'd appear every couple of generations and let the humans know what I really want from them.

I would put Hillary Klinton in charge of hell....but then that would be cruel and unuasual punishment, even for the worst of the condemened.
 
I would eliminate physical reality. Everything and everybody would be supernatural, like me.
 
I cannot be God. The question is kinda like asking "what if there was a round four-sided triangle?" or "what if there was a false true proposition?" Makes zero sense--the question itself contains a contradiction.

This is interesting on two counts. Most folks believe or at least wish they were a god and do work toward what they would require of mankind every day (very apparent in Progressives, but ubiquitous in all men to some degree). And the items you list, while most are part of the 10 commandments, your main theme is from the faulty reasoning of man. You have no idea what you would do if you were God because if you were your perspective would be so dramatically changed as to require a revisit to the drawing board for your list.
 
probably gravitate back and forth between

and

however, considering god would have infinite more knowledge than any of us here do, we can't accurately predict how our perceptions would change. it's not unreasonable to assume you'd simply cease to exist as 'you' upon gaining godhood.

Nonsense. It's a hypothetical.

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!"
