Default If you had the powers of a God, how would you promote your agenda?

However a loving, rational God would promote his agenda, we can be certain that it would not be like the fundamentalist Christian version of the God of the Bible has spread his agenda.

If you don't know what your agenda are, how can anyone else? I assume that you actually do know what some of your agenda are at this time. For instance, if you were able to give new limbs to amputees, you would do so, right?

I don't have an agenda. I have personal plans, but I don't have an agenda for the world like God is supposed to have like getting people to heaven or something.

We can discover the agenda of god by observing reality: Expand, self-consume, evolve, reproduce, clash, observe......

If I were god, you'd all be kissing my ass in heaven.

Well maybe not. Since I was already perfect, creating you all wouldn't be something that needed doing.

Since doing anything wouldn't improve my condition one little bit. I don't believe I could have an agenda as making an agenda would also be pointless to do.

So, Yahweh's agenda is to get as many souls into heaven as he can. So if I were him, I would....... just create them in heaven in the first place? I don't know, being all-powerful kinda takes the challenge out of everything.

I'd cease to exist. Being God is a pain in the ass.

Hey, no fair. God is all powerful but he cannot choose to cease to exist. It's in the rules he made for himself, no doubt. Anyway, I'm sure there is some mysterious reason why god must still exist if he once existed.
