Blast semen all over your mountain ranges and piss on you when the clouds obscure your view of me up in the sky.
"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.
Don't all the Olympic gods have different powers?This topic seems pretty vague.
Sigh.

I would finally confirm once and for all if an omnipotent being can create a rock so heavy that it can't lift it
Okay, I mean I just wanted to know if people's moralities and ideals would conflict when given absolute power and stuff.

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.

Did you ever watch Danny Phantom, Korra?

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.

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.

Aka Dr. Manhatten.
And on that note, I'm being boring, I know. I apologize.
