Atheist and agnostics - Creating your own God?

Question

If you could create your own God, what would he be like?

Answer 1

wow, interesting question.



i would probably want one that at least INTERACTS with its creations on an active level, and one that is probably less of a douchebag than most of the ones people tend to believe in now.

Answer 2

He'd be a god able to control the flow of time, then something would go wrong, splitting it into two entities - one representing the god's consciousness, one representing his raw power.



Then there'd be a terrible game, with gratuitous amounts of loading screens and severly broken gameplay, between this premise and the eventual ending, during which the consciousness tinkers with time, manipulating several players into restoring his power, and the final boss fight would span the past, present and future. And it would be awesome.



After he's defeated though, the main protagonists will be transported back in time to a short while after the god's conception and extinguish his life force, preventing any of this from actually happening...



Seriously, Solaris was awesome. And Mephiles was an effin brilliant antagonist.

Answer 3

Atheists KNOW there is no such things as gods of any description! But if they were to Create one the most urgent properties would be for it's followers to be tolerant, non hateful and non persecuting!



So nothing like the christian followers!!

Answer 4

Uhm, I think you're missing a fundamental aspect of Atheism: atheists don't believe in God. Why would they create a God when they don't believe in the concept?



My god is Homer Simpson.

Answer 5

Who needs a god?



I like some of the philosophy offered up in the Boomer Bible; specifically the testament of the punks.



If you're one of the ones who's doing it all,

and think life's just a dirty game

and do it to them because they'd do it to you

we're sick of you

You 12:1-4

Answer 6

My concept of commencing place; A) there's a pre-universe state with out "time" or linked strategies. there is not any era between occurrences; there is not any "exchange". in this state there are approximately 10^eighty baryons of mass-capability, static and unchanging. B) Quantum fluctuation ensues and ability capability exchange into kinetic capability; photons are thrust outward on the fee of light. Time starts off. C) As cosmic inflation occurs, the organic forces happen (gravity, electromagnetism, good interaction and susceptible interaction). those create nebulae and the subsequent megastar platforms one in all which we inhabit. Absolute info of God; I define God as a transcending and eternal author. The universe or its author would desire to have been eternal (the 1st reason would desire to no longer have been led to- it would desire to have continually existed.) This satisfies the eternal component to my definition. the 1st reason would desire to have transcended time for the comparable reason, pleasing the transcending component to my definition. He would desire to have additionally led to the universe or himself if he's the universe. This satisfies the author component to my definition.

Answer 7

nothing... i don't want control over a group of people i want people to be free of religion, free of a god because like all the other god my god may be fine for some people but not others so there really is no point and i don't want to cause people to go overboard with it and misinterpret what my made up god really is or really wants *again like so many followers of other gods*

Answer 8

I wouldn't.



People need to realise that only by accepting yourself as the controller of your own destiny can you fulfil your potential. Inventing an external agent only gets in the way of this, and keeps people from being the best they could be.

Answer 9

Hang on, if I could do that, wouldn't I be the God?



I'm not sure I'd even want a tame "genie of the lamp" type one... They almost always have a way of making things go wrong.

Answer 10

Cthulhu

Answer 11

A damn good lay, a heavy drinker, one who has the power to create or destroy worlds...just doesn't have the initiative. Prefers to fight in and watch epic battles, while occasionally interfering or getting his demi god bastard children involved in the fight....





Damnit, I think I just resurrected Zeus...

Answer 12

he would like Jimi Hendrix, he would make me feel like i was on good drugs with no hangover, and he would have a wicked sense of humor. also, he would tell my mother that she's an idiot and she should have been nicer to her daughter (me) and god would make her apologise for not knowing i was witty and smart

Answer 13

I like the Flying Spaghetti Monster's "Eight 'I'd really rather you didn'ts".



Also, The philosophy summed up as Bill Ted's "Be excellent to each other" is well....... excellent.

Answer 14

Nice. Why would anyone create an evil magical fairy.

Answer 15

He? I'd make God a woman! Insanely sexy with all that power.

Answer 16

Like me but with wheels and the ability to shoot burning meatballs at people I don't like.

Answer 17

I'd have him be completely lacking in all knowledge, all substance and all power.



In short -- it would exist. Nothing more, nothing less.
