You are God

Post by Coalition »

Or at least Jim Carrey is in the movie:

http://www.brucealmighty.com

Essentially, god gives Jim 1 week to see if he can do a better job. Various things he does are:
1) make a fire hydrant pop
2) enlarge his wife's bosom
3) make candles light in his room
4) proclaim that he s Bruce Almighty from the top of the Empire State Building, during a thunderstorm
5) receive ~3 billion unanswered prayers via e-mail

At least, that is what he does in the trailer.

What would you do if you had those powers, and had 7 days to use them?

Issue smackdowns as needed?
Actually reply to prayers?
Tell varous fundamentalists to shut up?
Issue Bible v2.0?
Other?

First, I would use my powers to revise all copies of the Bible so that it actually makes sense, ie doesn't contradict itself. Then I would tell the Muslims that suicide bombing is not the way into heaven, and that if anyone tries it, his community will get the fire and brimstone treatment. Then, any fundamentalist like Falwell or Asscroft will be condemned to Hell if he doesn't STFU. To prove that I am God, I will send a plague to a major city in each country, at the same time.

With a wave of one hand, change Star Trek to be a well-written, physically possible and consistent SF series.

With a wave of the other hand: women.

As the newly minted God Almighty, my first act would be to notify all humans that there is no eternal heaven, only hell. My next act would be to notify all humans that hell is in fact Earth. I would then sternly warn them that the only path to happiness is through enlightenment through progress, and that fundamentalism of any sort will get you ridiculed and/or killed. To prove my point, fundamentalists will promptly be struck dead.

I know.

Anyway, Back on topic.

Jehovah (as in this context he clearly exists) is instantly made mortal.

Extend my powers to last for all time/take myself outside time.

Prevent anyone else becoming god.

Hit my old (catholic) school with a small meteor.

Obliterate every place of worship ever built, unless it has some historical or architectural value.

Tweak physics

Set up a cadre of minions.

Give minions magical powers

edit the planet to a perfect state.

edit all animals not to eat humans.

bring back dinosaurs and other extinct yet amusing critters.

Proclaim my dominion over any other planets bearing life, do the same to those, Edit fundamentally hostile life forms (Aliens, the thing etc.) to be non hostile.

Make a squared circle (diagram) that will cause anyone who tries to analyse it to go insane.

Dump squared circle in pure mathematics dept, some university(I couldn't possibly help it)

Make criminal behaviour instantly punished (for example the ultimate justice zone in red dwarf)

Send all fundies to another planet, bubbled off in its own space where time is slowed by 1e5

Cure mathematics dept, and wipe memory of the squared circle.

Turn all racist donkey fuckers the colour they most despise.

Torment B&B and whomsoever is responsible for Nemesis and Insurrection.

Implement Re-incarnation. With full memories.

Arrange for all ST (TNG and after) to be replaced by a WH40K series, which shall be extremely good.

Eliminate poverty throughout the universe. (I thought I'd already done that, meh!){with the exception of planet FUNDIE}

Make everyone very good at fucking

Knock up a record of fucking that would make Zeus feel small.

Ship all copies of The Bible and other such books to planet Fundie.(with the exception of those in the HQ of my secret Cadre, aka the ATJ+AIIF.

Put Jehovah on trial for his crimes.

Make him experience everything evil that has been done in his name, in a bubble in which time is accellerated by 1e90 (we have to get this over with in a few weeks.)

Then make him invisible and intangible to humans, and unable to do... anything. Then banish him to planet fundie.


That will be all, for now.

  1. On the first day I will rid of religion.
  2. On the second day I will make people with an IQ below 70 become my minions.
  3. On the third Day I will turn Mr. Bean into red bean soup and for the entire 24 hour sipping slowly away.
  4. On the fourth day I will get laid and tell my older brother about it as he hasn't yet.
  5. On the fifth day I will sleep and cast the demons of our dreams to my minions.
  6. On the sixth day I will kill 2/3 of the human population.
  7. On the seventh day I will not rest but destroy cities and towns to be replaced by forests, plains, swamps, etc. Humans will live in tight advance communities with a population of 200 a piece and old farts will become young again and sent to other planets for colonization.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I would find a mountain and sit on it. Since I am a god, I'll make it so I sit on this mountain for all time. And then, once I'm on this mountain, I'll brood. I may more may not have a spear and a crown. Probably not.

Yes! Battlefleet Gothic: the adventures of the Imperial Cruiser 'Lord Daros', set in, say, ~40,500.
As follow-up BFG: TNG, which takes place 80 years later.
Same ship, same crew, only with a few more kewl-looking implants :D

Next series shall of course be Blackstone Six :mrgreen:

I would give myself permanent powers. Then I would show myself, disguised of course, have everyone see me as God. Then promptly tell everyone that every religious book every devised was really some guy in the 0th century pulling a funnie. Then I would see what chaos that would ensue. Then I would kill everyone I didn't think deserved life. Then I would set myself up as Emperor of Everything. Then I would get laid a lot. And have some more fun.

I would release the Star Wars Origional Thrilogy on DVD. And I would also change it back so Han fires first again.

First, I'd ban all Christian Rock that continually praises God more than 3 times. Secondly, I'd outlaw teaching creationism in science classrooms. Third, I'd get rid of all borders and boundaries, and unite the whole world as one country.
