So do you feel powerless? Is that the reason behind this obsession with power?


No. I want power for my own sake.

And read the part about wanting nothing else but power.

Why would you want power for it's own sake if you don't feel powerless?


1. Power is an end, not a means.

2. Most people who have power want MORE power.

3. When one has power, you rule, and become more godly.

4. More power = more ways to make the world what YOU want it to be...

I have the power to make my world the way I want it. How many ways do I need? :)



sorry, I meant its EASIER to make the world whatever you please...

If it were easy you wouldn't really appreciate it. We don't value that which comes easily like we do that which we have to work for.

Well, its hard work gaining an infinite amount of power! The fact that it is easier to make the world what you want when you have more power is just a result, and a bonus :D .

Well, I can pretty much do whatever the hell I want in my public school, not very far but its a start...

I would remove all war technology except katanas. And I would spawn more wars.

I would simply keep an eye on all things casually, making sure things are running smoothly (although I would allow a large margin of error to be present to allow chaotic results, to make things interesting). If I felt interaction was necessary, I would do it in stealth and minimize the use of manipulating the laws of physics to achieve my goal. I wouldn't be very personal often and judge on a planetary or system basis, not judging individual beings (because I'd feel life forms have their own responsibilities, they have free will for a reason). If an individual potentially serves a vital purpose for my objectives, I would personally use them to assist in my general goal. Although I would avoid telling them who I am directly, or what they are representing entirely. Why I would do this? Because I feel they need to figure those answers out themselves and understand why I chose my means of interaction (and soon enough they'll realize the implications being apart of an deity's goal can be dangerous to reveal to others).

I like that. That's the way god and i try to do things. Use of influence instead of use of force. It takes great personal power to refrain from using power. Most mere human beings can't do it.

I would create a world with lots of evil and continually revise it until it was all good. Nobody would see the world for how good it is unless they were made aware of how bad it could be. I would walk among my people and they would be made fully aware of my existance. I would help them combat the evil I created as if I were one of them. I would let people figure out the world for themselves and tweak it if they get stuck. I would introduce new laws to the universe to make it more interesting.

I would make many races which all appear very different from eachother, but also make it so people of different races would find eachother attractive and see how the races merge into one. I'd also find a woman to make my equal. I'd also grant extended youth and life to random members of the population.

I'd rid all the schools around the world of gangs and bullying.

Two things;

-shortterm: good and plentiful food for every person
-longterm: a future for the planet.

I wouldn't draw any attention to myself, I'd let everything unfold under my supervision.

Well, I don't see god as a guy with a magic wand. I see god as destiny and purpose. If I was god I'd have no choice but to let everything happen the way it's happening now, because when you know everything there can only be one true direction. God is tied down as much as anyone else.

I'd delay puberty until 18 years old, that should reduce tenage pregnancies quite a bit.
