Let's say that because of some convoluted cosmic reasons you have been given godhood. You have both the power and immorality comparable to that of an omnipotent deity.

What will you with such abilities? Will your ideals change? What would you do to us puny mortals?

Blast semen all over your mountain ranges and piss on you when the clouds obscure your view of me up in the sky.

Don't all the Olympic gods have different powers?

This topic seems pretty vague.

"Let there be nothing."

Assuming I'm not that powerful... I dunno, I would probably just... put everyone in their own personal virtual reality. They can be gods of their own virtual world, and fulfill their every desire there.

Speaking on the concept of "nothing" Verb, this one's been tailing my thoughts for a little while now. I suppose this relates to beardy-weirdy-in-the-skyhood a little bit. It is, by most definitions, safe to assume that the term nothing applies to, just that.

Fuck all.

But I question, how can nothing really exist if something does exist? When you consider it like a bubble, or a sphere, that little blip of existence fills a space in the otherwise blank void. In order to get to said blank void, one has to transition between a barrier. From something, to "nothing." Otherwise it wouldn't make any sense really. But even with that, you can't actually really call nothing as being absolutely nothing.

Ramblings of mine. If I vaugely remember, in some fashion you consider nothing to be "perfection." And when I thought about it, I figured that nothing can't technically exist.

No pun intended. Thoughts?

Sigh. You have godhood or omnipotence or whatever.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

It's not like I'm being pedantic. You never said "omnipotent" once in your OP.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
It would be just like one of my japanese animes

I would finally confirm once and for all if an omnipotent being can create a rock so heavy that it can't lift it

Being honest here though Korra, ya kinda dug this thread's grave on conception since the question of "what would you do if you were god" is about as intellectually stimulating as a pineapple.

The simplest answer everybody will end up saying is "everything." Because they can. Not that I'm discrediting you or anything.

But a topic like this doesn't have much for "flavor" to it, if you will.

Okay, I mean I just wanted to know if people's moralities and ideals would conflict when given absolute power and stuff.

If given absolute power?

Morals wouldn't mean shit. Allow me to explain. People, when exposed to information, adapt and change. This is why you're different from now, to when you were a child. Since then you've collected more information, which, in turn, has shaped your views on things.

As a god, what do you think that would do?

You would be god. You'd be the end all, be all. Because you wouldn't be exposed to just one side of the coin. You would, be...everything. You would see, and know, everything. Every outcome, every event, every single possibility, good, or bad. And therefore, being exposed to such information, to such knowledge, your humanity would erase itself, instantly.

You morality would dissappear because the universe, is everything. But also, a blank slate. It doesn't pick good or evil. It doesn't choose who to kill and who to spare, and for what reasons. It just simply, is. At that level of existence, morality and ideals would mean nothing.

I would like to think that mine wouldn't! But it's like saying, "If I had a million dollars, I'd spend it responsibly," or "I'd donate it all to charity."

So I mean, who knows. Maybe I'd turn into the most evil cunt ever out of sheer spite.

What if you were a god with a human mind still?

Then you wouldn't be a god. The problem with that little fallacy, is that human brains have limits. Physical limits to reaction speeds, processing speed, and information sorting and retainment.

You can't be a god with limits. Even if you set them for yourself. The closest you could probably get, would be separating yourself. A very small fraction of your intelligence from the whole, stuffed, and disconnected from the rest, into a human framework.

yeeeee

I just thought--maybe I'd be just like Clockwork. Living within another dimension, being sort of a caretaker of time. Anything catastrophic happens--I go back and prevent whatever small happenings that may have caused it. Maybe mess around a little bit--see what the world would've been like if Hitler was never born. Stuff like that.

You'd still have a loss of humanity and disconnect to some degree.

Pfft, there are better candidates than Dr. Blue Dick. Like the Silver Surfer, King Thor, and their ilk. Those two are far more powerful than Manhattan but still have some connection to mortality,
