Poll of the Day > If you were God

(+) Yeah! (+)

First, what do you mean "if."

Second, why not both?

Neither.

Sever and burn the worst parts, and nourish and grow the rest.

"Redeem" implies changing humanity to not be bad, so why wouldn't I choose that over destroying all of it and hoping the next version is better?

I try to love people so I'd want to redeem them. If some didn't want to be redeemed I'd probably just let them have what they wanted as long as they didn't hurt my people.

I don't know. You'd probably have a different perspective if you were God.

I often think and dream about magically fixing suffering and helping people like Superman. Always have since I was a kid. I stopped having as many nightmares. Just sex and superhero stuff now.

Kefka always looked like he was having fun.

About as much as the biggest Internet trolls.

I never liked Kefka like some did. His cackling and Amano art just made him look like a weasaly clown. After seeing Joaquin Phoenix's Joker though, I'm thinking Kefka might be a badass if done right.

My favorite FF6 character started as Locke. I used to have a thief fetish as as a kid. Then of course when I got into wrestling and weight lifting I like Sabin. I think I ended up liking Setzer in the end. There was a certain charm to him. Anyone that throws dice and cards is pretty badass too.

Yes that's the appeal

Well, let me just answer that question like this:

Actually, this one looks pretty cool as well. If it apparently wasn't like $4000 I might consider buying it for real:

I'd probably do a bit of both

Redemption implies I'm going to correct them so I like keeping them around.

Damnation implies I'm going to leave them as they are, just far away from me.

Neither option actually destroys them. As for starting over you can do that independently whatever else you choose.

if I were god I doubt the consequences of one galaxy would even phase me, i'd be out making quaternions out of alternate universes.

all humans are god

Make hot aliens.

You all got lucky it was me and not fucking Elon Musk, whose sole desire is to enslave people on Mars.

I would lay low and make small changes here and there. You take too much power and people would just be terrified, and what's the point in that? Plus, I would probably fuck it up. Fascist governments are nothing but one guy that thinks he's smarter than a Democracy. One bad take or one bad day and the country collapses. I'd be like that guy from Sri Lanka that banned non-organic fertilizers and caused a total collapse of the country because I think I know shit about farming.

Destroying all of humanity is unjust, and as long as there are good people, the race can be redeemed.

That's the plot of Red Faction.

So that's where the video of the Tesla running over the childlike analogue this week came from.

why do I have to start it over if I destroy it why cant I just leave it destroyed

Men are still good

then I would be real

I'd issue divine curb stomps to the cruel extremists and those who hate the environment.

Destroying humanity sounds much more fun although it's doing a good job doing it itself.

Make a save point then see how each path branches out?

I'd do the first thing by doing the second thing.

Well, there're a lot of good people in this world, and plenty of bad to go with it. No reason the bad can't go and keep the good ones.

Would likely start with a purge of all the evil people in the world, followed by some strict rules for the remaining people to live by. This would be followed by me making the world a better place for those who remain

I'd let it run as is

I'd give humans more patience and better organizational skills

Severe lack of grass touching will do that

Also, I like how J. R. R. Tolkien wrote Melkor as a clinical psychopath who wasn't really a bad person, just unable to understand basic emotions.
