If I were God I'd create another gender man woman and something entirely different. Change the duality to a triality just for fun.an interesting challenge but go one step further after de-creating yourself and becomeing absolutely nothing recreate yourself back to being something.... now.... there's a challenge.....ha ( this is fun)

Because without existence, there is no need for a reason.

and?

for the premice of that question to be valid we would have to assume
that 'God' is a singular being intervening or not intervening in what
'he' 'feels' appropriate. my view is that all human consciousness and all consciousness of all things, from rocks and the vibration of the strings within them to the consciousness of beings in galaxies too far to be detected, to the galaxies' themselves is 'God'. so the question should be;What can we do?

The fantasies whereby God is something omnipotent, omniscient, somehow separate and yet also unbiquitous, are themselves quite hilarious. Hopefully some start realizing how much of what is being imagined about God is a mere projection of petty human desires and fears. Now saying this is not very original either, it has been formulated quite eloquently already by Feuerbach, who inspired already Marx quite a lot.....

On the other hand, nowadays many believe to be godless and oh so free of the problem of God. But this is a huge fallacy as long as they fall to blind belief in what they happen to like or dislike (see above)..... Keep wondering, but with a clear mind, in full self-transparency!

If I was God, I would have no need to change anything. All would be perfect and complete in me. If for some inexplicable reason I needed some entertainment I'd create a perfect and beautiful world without suffering and all would be good.

One thing I'd definitely steer clear of is creating a race of badly flawed beings, giving them freewill, a great capacity to inflict suffering and to suffer, a bunch of false religions and secular philosophies and then obscure the reality of my own existence, making it reliant on blind acceptance. I mean what sort of deity would do a thing like that?!

I then definitely wouldn't leave them to work it out themselves, with only a kindly world flood or other apocalyptic event every now and again to remind them to be good. And the last thing I'd do to those that missed the point is torture them for eternity nor even allow one of my ex-lackeys to torture them for eternity.

I'd either have to be non-omnipotent, non-omnibenevolent or non-omniscient to run a sick disaster like that. And what sort of God would that make me? I mean I couldn't even get away with saying that I didn't see it coming. Or it was beyond my control.
