Then they'd make commandments for themselves, just like a modern society does. However the difference would be that I hadn't given them these commandments as some kind of divine law, and they are of ultimately no importance other than holding society together.
Quote:How could they not commit 'sin'? Are you saying that nothing is bad or are you saying that these are perfect beings unable to commit sin?
I guess it's almost both. They are incapable of committing sin, since sin is defined as whatever I wanted, and since I wouldn't define sin as anything, they can't commit it
Quote:What about problems you couldn't resolve? And how would you be everywhere at once and also a temporal God?
I would be able to solve any problem, but I'd encourage people to find the answers themselves if they could. As for the other question, I told you I'd live in a non-temporal house such that I could talk to everyone at once in it

. Anyway, even if I didn't, you are assuming my universe would operate in a similar way to this one!
Quote:You wouldn't have an afterlife but then you call an afterlife re-incarnation? Do people get to repeatedly live their lives to fix these mistakes that you see? So the only point to life to you... the 'why' question, is to live a life of no regrets. Interesting. Quite hedonistic don't you think?
I never said they got to fix the mistakes I saw, but the mistakes that
they saw. For instance, I'd rather like to repeat the years of my life from 11-18 again, I made plenty of mistakes I regret during those years. I wouldn't be a God who told people that they had to relive parts of their life. If they didn't have any regrets, or had them but didn't want to relive their life, I'd grant them the gift of non-existence.
