Who can for sure how they'll act and feel far into the future, but consider this scenario: you're walking down a path, and up ahead you see an insect in peril. (Something like a big beetle that's been flipped over on its back, or a worm struggling but drowning in a puddle of water.)

Do you:
A) help the insect, therefore you'd be a benevolent god;
B) keep walking, thereby making you an indifferent god; or
C) step on the bug, killing it, implying you'd be a wrathful god?

"B" is my answer.

(Bonus question: does your answer here reflect your "relationship" with the Mormon god? For example, were/are you indifferent towards him?)

I sort of like hammers.

When I am a goddess, all dogs will indeed go to heaven. :)




Oh, your question: My answer is A.

An imaginary god, that way I could be whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.

Also better hours and less stress.

I would immediately disobey myself and abdicate my throne.

Drunk

I have been known to rescue worms, crickets, spiders and ladybugs who are in trouble. If you are a wasp or a stinkbug, you are on your own.

These would be my rules:

1. Be nice to each other. Do no harm.
2. Treat your planet well.
3. Have fun. You have been given life and it is to be enjoyed.
4. And oh yes, all dogs go to heaven. Cats, too. All are welcome. See you on the other side.

:)

Summer, I hope we have neighboring planets! :D

Under 8 years old or so: C

Between 8 and let's say 30: C or B, depending on the mood.

After 30: A - to the point where now I'll carefully carry out spiders into the yard and bid them a friendly farewell and happy trails.

I have to confess that my world would remain for all eternity in my heavenly craft room, half finished.

I help the bug. It flies away, bites a child and tge child dies.

I leave the bug and maybe it kills the child or not.

I kill the bug and the child lives.

Tough call?

What if the child grows up to be Joseph Stalin?

What if the child grows up to be Saulk

What if the child never amounts to a hill of beans, but his great great grandchild is the first person to land on Titan?

I would be a generous gawd. Someone asks me for something, make it so. Whats the harm if nothing bad or unpleasant happens? I would be like Glenda the good witch with a wand- bibbidy, bobbidy, boo!

Not that it has anything to do with being a "god," but...

Typically I'm mostly a "B" to start, but I observe instead of keep walking. If the bug can't right itself or work its way free, I somtimes give it a hand. But sometimes not -- if it's in a spider web, for example, I leave it be (the spider needs to eat, too!).

"Nature" mostly doesn't need us intervening. Doing so, I realized long ago, is more about making myself feel "good" than it is doing anything for the bug.

And I'd never be a "god" -- far too rational :)

One spelled GOD, for fuck sake. Now where is my magnifying glass. Time to crucify some bugs or something.
;)

So, I'm not alone! You bring the bugs, I'll bring the beer and magnifiers. Hell, beer and an insect zapper would be good enough!

I'd be a benevolent god who likes to party and leave folk alone....except when threats are made against my life or my loved ones....then it's game on....lock and load the lighting bolts and plagues.

Well, I used to use magnifying glasses on insects. So, it's best that I remain a telestial-kingdom type. Hermann Hesse's Boner.

1. I would abdicate.
2. I would probably do B.
3. If I were, despite my refusal, a god, I would be the forgiving God of the New Testament. I would not be the Mormon god.

First, I could not make a decision until I knew whether the insect believed in me and had paid its tithing.

First rule of Godhood is, "No Freebies." I learned from the best.

Very mediocre, the kind that never guarantees that the crops will grow. But I would demand that my likeness be carved in a totem.
