If I Was God

If I was God I will create a world as beautiful and fascinating as it can possibly be.
If I was God I will create beings in my image and will set them free.
There is no other way if they are created in Gods image.
Even if I know that they are not perfect I will not interfere.
I’ll let them make there own decisions no matter how disastrous they may be because that the only way that they can learn to be real children of God: by taking responsibility.
I will be tempted to offer rewards for good behavior and punishment for bad but I will refrain from doing that because it will limit their freedom of choice and without freedom they cannot be beings made in the image of God.
I will be tempted to prevent them from doing something so stupid that it may end the existence of their kind but I wouldn’t because that will limit their freedom and I created them in my image so their freedom is without limit. I will be sad and weep when they destroy each other but I won’t interfere because I love them.
If I was God I will love all people equally because I would have created them all!

  1. I believe everyone is 'God', an individualized portion of 'God' and 'reality' is their own interpretation of world and you create your environment destructive or beautiful through your own thoughts. 'All is mind.' And each person and thing, everything is spirit, that's all there was in the beginning and that's all there is now, the physical is just an illusion. And each person is an individualized portion of the beginning spirit seeking to experience theirself.
