First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place. It doesn't seem religious enough (as you will see later) to be in the Religion section, nor does it seem worthy of Extended Discussion. But it doesn't belong in Senseless Banter I think because I am actually being serious in my thoughts here. So sorry if this should be somewhere else.
Also, the God discussed in this is the typical omnipotent omniscient omnipresent God that most people think of when they hear "God."
ANYWAY.
I would hate to be God. I would just hate it. There are so many reasons. I'd hate to be eternal. I mean, 100 years seems daunting enough for a time to live. I'm rather lazy, and I'm sure I'll eventually run out of stuff to do. So existing for an eternity? I'd go crazy after 1000 years. It just seems boring.
Making it worse would be having nothing to do. I'm normally a funny guy, but when told to say something funny, I just can't think of anything. If given omnipotence, I'd get everything I really want to do done is less than a week. Then what?
Part of the joy of baking brownies is working hard and doing it wrong, but still getting moderately ok brownies. If I could just poof myself some brownies, they wouldn't be as good. Everything would end up just becoming so boring because the challenge would be gone. What's the point of doing anything if everything requires no effort?
Also, omniscience would make me sick because I'd run out of things to ponder.
tl;dr
I don't believe in God, but if he exists, I pity the fact that he is omnipotent and omniscient. And I'd hate to be him. What do you people think?
