If you could correct "god's" mistakes...

[The Valkyrie]

Imagine you're an all powerful deity.  You have just created the universe and want to make it better than the Abrahamic deity did.

What would you do?

If I had followed the biblucal script and only created two people, I would have put the tree of knowledge somewhere on the other side of the universe.

Is there even some kind of rule that says you have to make a tree of knowledge in the first place? Like, you can't create humans without also creating a tree, that if eaten from, will condemn them to toil, misery, and death. I guess it's in the fine print somewhere.

I mean, I guess I'm stating the obvious here, but one thing I'd do is just reveal myself-- to everyone. Every so often I'd just stand there in the sky for everybody to see, so there weren't any doubts about it. And also, when people pray for stuff I'd answer their prayers. Not in the sense of always giving them what they want. I mean, I'd literally answer them when they asked for something.

"Yes, I will give you what you want," they'd hear my voice boom.

--or--

"No, I won't give you what you want because [whatever the reason is]."

I think I'd be a pretty good God if you ask me. If anything, I will have taken all the guesswork out of being a believer and done my best to make my wishes clear to my creations.

No, there's no specific rule.

In this case I was mentioning part of what I would correct in the biblical narrative.

But Min is correct. A tree of knowledge on every corner would be a good thing.
