All Hail You
#1
All Hail You
If you were a godlike being, would you desire to be worshiped or merely acknowledged for existing? Would you punish those you deem deserve it for whatever reason that satisfies you?

RE: All Hail You
Title made me immediately think of this.

Anyway, I don't know how I would act if I were a god. It's a question that's difficult to answer seriously, because odds are being a god would change me and my personality.

I would, however, force every person on earth to watch Breaking Bad.

I'd completely fuck with everyone. I'd be like "Oh you donated everything you have to charity? Lets see how you feel about your dog getting hit by lightning." Then drop a winning lottery ticket in front of them. Then they get hit by a falling tree.

I'd go out of my way to leave no sense behind my actions just to watch the confusion.

Just acknowledged. I don't have a small dick complex.

I honestly don't know how I would operate if I were a deity, but I doubt I would require worshippers, probably wouldn't even care to be acknowledged.

Chances are I would create a planet inhabited by nothing but cats.

Interesting, I just made a shout about this. Considering the reputation system, kudos, medals, annual awards, etc., it's obvious that a lot of people here would want some worship, though they'll likely deny it despite the evidence.

I wouldn't force worship, but wouldn't look down on it either. I'd appreciate it if people recognized I was a god.
As for how I'd change things, I'd eliminate evil all throughout the multiverse without hurting anyone.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?

Recognition from people you have a modicum of respect for can reasonably be appreciated. Recognition from ants is a ridiculous thing to care about and we're barely different from ants if compared to an omniscient and omnipotent being.

Little 'g' gods might want worship, they're just exaggerated humans. They could relate to us. They could care about our opinion of them.

Do you believe in God or a god?

I think the last thing I'd care about are a bunch of sniveling shits praying to me.

I'd probably smite them all just for annoying me.
