QOTW: Omnipotent You

Here's the oft promised QOTW from David McGlone:

If you could be God for about 5 days, what things would you try to change or accomplish with your life in your 5 days? (this excludes trying to save the world, stop hunger, etc etc. Basically you are God with powers to control your own life and destiny and not be able to change history or fix it before it happens).And if you want, give a brief explanation why you chose the accomplishment or change.

That is TOUGH! OK, I'll admit it, from this standpoint, I'd want to use part of the time to make my life pleasant — I won't pretend I wouldn't want to. Here's the thing though: being God means having three very important qualities. These are:

1. Omnipresent
2. Omnipotent
3. Omniscient

With those in mind, I'd probably use my time much more wisely. Arguably since God created time that would mean that if God handed me His powers for five days I'd also be able to step outside of time and get more done. But, that's aside the point.

So what would I do? Probably cause the clouds to rain properly translated copies of the Bible to all of the people of the earth. I'd also do some miraculous type signs (maybe the sun wouldn't come up one day or the seas would turn to blood one day) to get people's attention. Then I'd use a booming voice to tell everyone to read the book that had hit them in the head to figure out what was going on. Perhaps I'd even provide a few pointers while on the “megaphone.”

Of course, that goes back to that omniscient characteristic. If I truly had the qualities of God, I would do just what God is doing right now because God already knows what is best to do.
