Perhaps my answer was flippant, but I meant it. I am with Rhythm. I loathed the people who had 'depression' over the fictional planet Pandora because there is enough life here on earth that is amazing and alien-looking. There is beauty here...more than enough. There is a capability of deep goodness in humanity. To paraphrase - every bush is burning, but only those of us with eyes to see it remove our shoes. The only thing that needs to change is our mindset.

For the most part, I'm in agreement. Referencing again my prior post - this thread has nothing to do with the condition of our universe or the flaws of mankind. This was merely a pointer at the blatant inadequacies of the christian god.
..... it was meant to be a light thought on a topic we all deem to be nonsense - god, heaven and hell.

Really? Your answer IS in the OP. Actually, you jello-head, it's exactly the answer to that question.
![Facepalm Facepalm](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/facepalm.gif) christ! The title of the very thread is named, If I Was God.
How do you not see this?!?!

You didn't in the slightest my dear. Wherever I've been concerned - you never have.

Fucking christ Summer, you're such a downer. Spitting in the conjectural soup.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

List of things to do:
1. Appear and set the whole religion frackus straight, particularly in the Middle East but really all over the world. "Knock it off! Stop killing and persecuting in My name! Right now!"
2. Enact three basic commandments:
- Act with integrity
- Respect the rights of others
- Take responsibility for your actions
Simple. Easy to remember. Using positive language instead of negative. Sees to cover all the bases. Focused on how we live and treat one another instead of bowing before Me, as if I would seriously want that (what narcissist god would want that).
3. Tweek some parts of the human body for improvement. For the ladies, you get wider openings at the pelvis to make the miracle of childbirth a lot less dangerous or painful. A natural shut down of pain nerves during the process might be helpful too. Also, to help protect women from rape, their vaginas can only be penetrated when they're aroused or in labor. For the gents, all ladies will be multiorgasmic. For the parents of today's world, puberty won't happen until around 20. Peak fertility period will be 30 and 35.
Everyone will be bisexual.
The lower part of the spine will be reinforced to adapt for walking upright, causing fewer problems in the more senior years.
Deaths from old age will be relatively quick. Heart attacks and strokes instead of cancer and Alzheimer's.
Instead of bodies that love fat and shed unused muscle, it'll be the other way around.
4. Terraform Mars and Venus.
5. My temples will be schools, libraries, research facilities and hospitals. The profoundest acts of worship will be to help your fellow human beings and to learn more of your universe.
6. Holy book? It's all around you. You're living in it.
7. Afterlife would be a reincarnation model.
