If I Was God

It's in short supply, these days.

So are the rules necessary or is that the perfection you desire or would you desire a little less because it would make it a little more interesting?

Whether or not you have rules/qualifiers for assuming the role of God my analogy was self explanatory.

In which context are you using the label "Perfection" anyway? The term can be used to designate a variety of concepts and has several meanings. Do you mean perfect as in everything going according to my master plan if I am role playing God? That I made a creation that attained its purpose? Please clarify.

Good point.

Perfection is tautology. Pretty much bloody boring.

So here's something touching, if also a little boring.

And now for something completely different.

If i was GOD!

I would let the amusing Inquisitive Apes envolve with minimum intervention. Patriarcalism would be gone 1000 yrs ago, I would be a clingy deity deity, showing up all the time and constantly talking.

I would take the form and voice of Stephen Fry on apparitions.

Perfection is stagnation. There is nowhere to go from perfection. Endless boredom, as Miss Aerzia might say, as even boredom would be perfect.

Were I to have godlike powers, I would not want to make a creation which was "perfect," it would be stuck in a endless rut, just like the perfect deity is now. I would want them to strive and achieve and learn and grow endlessly (hey, that's what science tries to do; the only perfection is there is always a perfectly endless supply of things to learn).

Moreover, if I were a "perfect" godlike deity, I would probably use my powers to make myself imperfect. I don't want to stagnate either.

If a complete perfection is boring wont heaven be boring as hell?

I think heaven or the new age will be more. I think the things that tempt, evil(selfishness) will be gone. Other than that i think if it was completely perfect and thus boring from our viewpoint, we wouldn't know it and it might be awesome.

How do you not see this?!?!

I mean, forget the comparison to the Christian religion and tell me how it would be? Welsh cake nailed it and that is my very point. Life is not perfect as to be perfect, but complete perfection would be boring or incomplete or imperfect. Any thoughts

Yeah, I've got thoughts...

My thoughts are: when you make a thread you can put any crazy shit in there you want to. Arbitrary rules, pictures of jesus turning into a cracker, whatever the hell you want. You should see some of the wacked out shit Sae posts. SO, if I choose to throw in some arbitrary rules that you don't want to play by, thats your business and it does not concern me - but please don't tell me how to post in the thread I started. The whole point was to show the idiocy of your religion.

Furthermore, nowhere in my OP did I (as GOD) claim to create a "perfect" universe as you are eluding to above. Please pay attention.

So you wouldn't make it perfect and would allow murder to happen? I was just suggesting an idea.

My Alternative Ten Commandments As God Of This World :

Everyone Lives Within Their Means [ No Borrowing ]
Men Always Give Women A Multiple Orgasm
Fixed Percentage Of Earnings To Charity
Society Operates As A Meritocracy
Every Adult Must Work Or Study
Marriage To Be Outlawed
Professional Jurors
No Homophobia
No Misogyny
No Racism

"Love your neighbor as yourself" is your last three commandments. Yours are more specific as to be strict guidelines and means of control. While "love your neighbor as yourself" is more general and more suited for the people as a proof of what they desire. I would follow all of the commandments you stated(the stated 3) because they fall under the one but because that is love not your control. Or if i want to get my cotton picked and i did not want to go to the fields and do it myself or hire white men and pay them a day's wage, I guess i might harbor a control over the different population of colored people so i can make a profit. "But we dont need commandments, we need knowledge."
Like commandments aren't knowledge.

1: Let's stick with me creating humans for now. Just as they are, in all their glory. Easy for you lot to sympathize with.

2: There is only one unforgivable sin: being unwilling to have sex with me. I'm fine with you not being attracted to me... but it is inexcusable that any human of intelligence would pass up sex with me as a principle. Punishment for this... is to be slain. You have fucked with me, and I don't suffer those who fuck with me. Otherwise, everyone is rewarded with a nice little existence where they get to be entertained with my creations... or not. The society is kept 100% free to do what it wants so long as it doesn't seriously hurt/kill the others in the society. These are not rules enforced by me, but by the society that is free to enforce whatever it wants to... and that is all it wants to enforce because I am awesome and most of them have had sex with me and loved it.

3: The afterlife is exactly like the life your in right now... except those who have committed the unforgivable sin are deleted from all lives from point of deletion. Everyone "lives" forever until they commit the unforgivable sin... and there are many afterlives... think of it like servers on an MMO where 'death' is to restore your character to a younger state and with all of your achievements intact. Of course... "you can't take it with you"... but that's okay since everyone's tolerant in such a society as mine

Wow i do not like that at all. Sexual immorality=no no

Flawless. The rules you set are to fix or alleviate some sort of flaw from either the creation or what the creation is given. That your post would simply be, " It would be perfect."
But you could say the plan idea is what you would consider perfect. But only you would know it and perfection would be what you say it is based on what you gave us.

If I was God, I would kill myself. xD
