    Walk on water, Make the world stop for a second to relax, Make a sunrise-set last longer. I am sure there are several more things but that is all I can think of for now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,895 ✭✭✭bizmark


    I would

    1.Make technology that allows food and all the other things that make life worth liveing free to all

    2.Kill Bush (ie make the world a better place)

    3.Make sure that the human race will live on forever and ever and will rise to the very best that we can


    i could go one for a long time but you get the basic point of what i would go with total power


    (though seeming i dont bleave in god i shouldnt be replying here lol)

    Try to beat god's record for creating a world, his record is 7 days, if all I have is 1, I'll see what I can do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    make a sunrise/set shorter... just to piss DR off:)

    i'd try my damndest to make the world an equally happy place for everyone, get rid of all that crap pandora set loose.

    oversee sterile dragons rise to pouwah, stopping only at global domination. muahahahaaaa....

    I would cease to exist as i am a atheist and do not believe in any religion.
    :cool:

    The real question of what you would do if you had super natural powers to do anything is really to big for anyone to give a real answer.
    Most would say make the world a better place, but ask them how and for whom and they wont know, so pretty happy just to be me and do my best i think is the right answer :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 133 ✭✭Samara


    I would make the day infinite so I wouldn't lose my power LOL - what can I say, I'm a greedy so and so :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Dr. Loon


    ban clothes.... for women only... attractive women only.
    Kill Bush and Blair, and a lot of other people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,024 ✭✭✭✭irishgeo


    Make me rich, find the women of my dreams and make Brittany Spears lust after me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    I would put all prayers in email form and email them yes to every prayer like bruce did :D then I'd give myself a bazillion euros and a nice jaguar, and then make all attractive woman lust after me

    Firstly, I would re-arrange the order of the planets in the Milky Way, except Earth. Then I'd swap the green and red lights on traffic lights in Ireland. Finally I'd give all animals the ability to speak. OMFG :p

    Question: When the day's up, do things go back to the way they were before you became God ? If so then, meh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 272 ✭✭jammy_dodger


    If any of us were God for a day. I doubt we could do sweet feck all.
    I mean its not like the 'present' God does anything on a day to day basis.
    All we know or assume is that he created the world, and has done pretty much feck all since.
    Considering we were given free will, i doubt God has any power over us or this world.

    So if i was God for a day, id be pretty darn bored.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Nice one jammy_dodger :D Excellent answer!!

    Anyway in the spirit of the post.. if i were God for a day, and had unlimited and omnipotent Power.. well it would be fun. Firstly i would probably want to get rid of all the sick fúcks in the world. Then all the rapists, murdering b@stards and each and every other scumbag in the world.... And while that sounds nice and noble... it would present a problem.

    The world would be a desolate wasteland devoid of population since i had wiped out almost all of humanity. The day would pass and the butchers and farmers are all gone so i have no food to eat etc and i die... Apes evolve again and inherit the earth.. Planet of the Apes :D

    Space_Coyote's thing on the planets gave me an idea.. might be fund to put all the planets on similar orbits to earth making sure they dont cross) so we are in the same hibtable zone around the sun. Then make sure they all have breathable and habitable conditions. I would not alter the Gas Giants... But their moons could be made habitable. Could you imagine the day and night sky seeing Saturn and Jupter and all? Imagine all the fun Solar Eclipses :D The tides would be a lot more fun too... The best though is inspiration to travel to them and colonise them. Overcrowding on Earth would be a thing of the past. We could leave Venus as it is though.. as close to hell as you can get and stick all the undesirables there.

    GRRRR! LOL
    Good thing it would be just for a day!

    And then we could name it New Australia :D

    Nothing against the sweet ausies, but it seems to me that Saruman's solution has been tried before by the English who pretty much thought and maybe still think they are gods. :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    I'd make things more interesting by bringing back a few dinosaurs and some of the extinct natural predators of humans. I might just decide to give some people magical powers and turn America into a giant D&D type land with dragons and fat merchants and silly crap. Would be a good laugh for the rest of the world...

    And imbue my mortal body with serious powers which would last after the day was up, so I could install myself as ruler of America and ascend into godhood anyway...

    That, or instigate Armageddon.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 3,290 ✭✭✭TomTom


    FirstI'd make a few apperances around the world and explain the whole relgion thing, that should clear up a few wars. Then cure all the illnesses ad suffering just to be nice.
    Make all the other planets habital as the others suggested.
    as with the lusting thing.
    dito the wealth and popularity thing.
    give myslef the abitity off all the superheros ever created and make sure i kept them after my day.

    I'd love to do the hulk thing. RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

    Put a stop to soaps.
    the list could go on for ever.

    A Neo Malthusian would argue that one should not cure all ailments as this is indeed a population check, if we did we'd run out of space on the planet... maybe.

    I'd fly around a bit and round the galaxy and then across to some other galaxies in the universe and find out if we are indeed alone or not. I'd also avail myself of all the government secrets and conspiracy theories that are true. If I had time left I'd set myself up to own an island somewhere hot and have a harem of nubile young ladies from the four corners of the earth and an infinite supply of money to let them go shopping with.

    Or I'd just browse boards and tell everyone "Y0re Ghey, I'm Ghod".

    (I am indeed closest to God anyway as I, Gordon, contain the name of the lord.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭passive


    the Lord Gord?

    i would build a giant fleet of spaceships and robots...lots of laser shooting, cool talking robots.

    then i would command those spaceships and travel the stars blowing things up at hyper speed, returning in time for tea, creating world peace and installing a system wherby nobody could cause harm to anybody else....and everyone lived and died naturally

    (naturally blown up by my rogue army of robots)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,048 ✭✭✭DerekD Goldfish


    I would do somethig even more imposible than all of the previous listed. I would sort out st. pats defence 4-2 to the drogs oh the shame.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭Caesar_Bojangle


    I'd still be too lazy to get out of bed to actually use my newly gotten powers.

    I'd cure baldness and homosexuality, then I’d make myself the Irish ambassador to France.






    Just to clarify things, i'm not a homophobe. I said it merely for shock value


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,276 ✭✭✭de5p0i1er


    Cure cancer, aids & the common cold.
    Kill all the evil ppl, then send them all to hell.
    rid the world of corupt government officials.
    Make a sunrise-set last longer.
    That sound so corney, I'd do like tman just to get back at you for saying that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭weemcd


    get rid of all diseases, kill all the fly's, throw god off his throne and ne god forever, wish for infinate wishes if the previous one didn't work, get a room with britney, kylie, monica from friends and j-lo!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 209 ✭✭Johnny Gomez


    First off I'd make sure I took care of myself before the rest of the world. I would make myself a bottomless wallet(unlimited money basically) and my choice of women(of course).Then I'd take care of all the worlds problems(Bush:D ).Oh and then I'd make myself the worlds greatest football player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,471 ✭✭✭elexes


    hmmmm make myself win the lotto a few times . then give the power back to god .. if there is one ur doing a bang up job i know i couldnt do it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,311 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Well god doesn't exist, so if I were to be god for a day, I'd blink out of existence in a puff of logic. That's no fun!

    This might be alittle off topic, but lets say for arguements sake, one of us was handed down some divine power, That enabled us to cure all problems of the world. And you did exactly that, rid the world of diease, murderers, famine, war ect.
    This would seriously feck up our evolution ! If we even did evolve after riding the world of diease (our bodies imume systems would become inactive and eventually we'd be decrepid sacks of flesh, and shattered bone)

    Take away Famine, the worlds land mass would shrink in size, (as famine stricken areas would be un-inhabitable) over population and all that lark.

    Remove murderers and evil people in general, would invole loosing valuable emotions, and thus remove what makes us human.

    Remove war, Our technological advancements would be few and far between. eg. Space race, and im not too sure about this one but i afaik The internet was developed by the americans during the Gulf war.

    I could come up with more, but i think my point is made. All these things are in a kind of tandem balance, Remove em and society, evolution, or whatever will become unstable.
