What Would You Do If You Became God For A Day?

Have you watched the movie, “Bruce Almighty”? If you have, you will understand exactly what I am trying to ask here. Say you woke up one fine morning and you were given the power of a god for one single day.

It would be upon you to use those powers as you see fit with no restrictions whatsoever! In the movie, Morgan Freeman (God) had placed two restrictions on Jim Carrey’s character stating that he could neither tell anyone about his powers nor interfere with free will but, let’s do away with those in our scenario.

What would you do with all that power? I know the possibilities are endless, because god is supposed to literally be the most powerful being there is who can basically do whatever they wanted and bestowing all that power upon a human could end up in any number of ways.

I was curious about this and I asked my friends and even some of my relatives the same question. Also, I read a lot of responses that people gave to similar questions online and let me tell you, people’s imagination never ceases to amaze me!

What People Said…

One of my friends answered that the first thing he would do is get himself half of the world’s Bitcoins! haha! Another friend of mine said that he would fill enough warehouses with potato chips to last him a life time. I am friends with really weird people now that I think about it!

One friend however, thought beyond earthly matters. Literally. She said that she would like to have a universe of her own where she was god. Creative, to say the least.

If you look online for what people have to say, you will find all sorts of crazy answers. Someone said they would interchange heaven and hell!! Some people, I tell you! Someone else said that they would take human form and play godly pranks on everyone all day long!

There are some serious answers too that people have given which I’m sure you can guess and might want to do the same. At least I would like to do some good for the day I have those powers.

What I Would Do


Spend time solving problems like a baus!

Life can sometimes put you into situations where you feel totally helpless. Despite all your power, energy, wealth and what not, you literally cannot do anything in such circumstances and it is exactly these people I would help first.

I know, the movie “Bruce Almighty” showed that it would be very difficult if not impossible to answer all the prayers of all the people in the world. Sometimes two prayers might be in contradiction to one another and you could only answer one. And sometimes it’s best not to answer the prayers of some particular people.

That’s why I would solve humanity’s largest problems so that the benefits of that would all trickle down to the individual level. First ones to be gone will be poverty, income disparity, diseases, educational inequality, the damage to the environment and so on.

Also, I would give humanity the secret to space travel so that we can finally become a space faring civilisation. As a human that is my biggest wish for humanity to achieve as soon as possible and if I was god for a day, I would make sure that, that happens.

What Would You Do?

I am sure you must have thought about it at least once in your life. If not, do think and let me know what you would do if you were given god-like power for only a day.

Also note that I am not opening a discussion about whether or not god exists, so let’s not have that discussion. Just comment about what you would do or have always wanted to do.

Also, please don’t be “that guy” and say, “If I was god, I would make myself god forever!” Let’s hear it from you folks. I am sure the answers are gonna be very creative! The best one wins 10 Steem.

The preface exits? Magic cruises into God. Above magic swims a continent amateur. Magic relieves God. God loves magic. Why does magic stamp below the packaged relief?

The Goddess of Magic, Winter and Love, is eerily beautiful, with pale skin, shoulder length, flowing dark golden hair, and eyes the color of dark earth. She is surprisingly short and slightly plump, and often looks sly. She usually wears stylized armor dyed green-brown. She is also associated with the wind, charisma and duels. She is often worshipped by wanderers. Her few followers can be primarily distinguished by the ritual greetings they use. There are widespread statues of her in mountains. There are many myths involving her illicit relationship with Arounoal. She is the mother of Roi. She is known to challenge mortals with quests.

Seeing a ginger plant on a sunny day sometimes foretells coming troubles.

It might just be me, but I didn't understand what you meant!

Understand vanishes on top of me. Theory unites confusion without a color.

I would create several permenant portals around the world with all of them having the same ability. Anyone stepping into it can go to any imaginary universe they wish! Be it comic universes like marvel or DC, books like Harry Potter or game of thrones, heaven or hell, or any possible universe that can exist, limited only by one's imagination.

oh wow, that would be so awesome!! I would permanently live in that Marvel universe :D but sometimes venture out into game of thrones and harry potter's too :D

And consider that you can bring your own crossovers! :D

Awesomeness times infinity :D

I will definitely use the mighty power to upvote all my post. Then iI can become the god here in steemit lol...

LOL. You should use your powers to become a Mega whale :D

That is quiet a power to handle but will make sure i end the shortage of food at some parts of the world.Make hunger a thing of the past.End all the unrest at some parts of the globe and hold the right people accountable.Bring lasting peace to middle by uniting them.Create an impartial U.N with all the necessary resources so that they wont answer to any powerful country.Also.end unemployment making every household has a stable cashflow and standard of living.Finally make basic needs like food,shelter,clothing,education and medical care free across the globe.
There is more....this is just some major ones

Yes, those are the main ones that need to be addressed. Shame that despite all the technology we have, billions of people are struggling to meet even the basic needs of life.

Yeah is very sad.with all this technological advancements still there are places across where they do not have access to good drinking water talk less of electricity and good healthcare

As this question is asked on steemit, I want to keep imagination here only.
I would like to be the only whale here and become the god of most creative people on earth.
And what would they want from me?
Only a single click on their thoughts converted into posts.
Well, I could reason with them and provide that only to some.
Being god would be an interesting and easy task for the day I guess.

As a matter of fact i have been with the powers of a whale for a day... And i must say that day was super awesome....

Wish I could do that too....

haha such a life even for a day would be absolutely amazing!! :D

become rich

That could happen with a snap of the fingers!

I'd do several things:

  • End colonialism before it started
  • Make India a superpower
  • Remove corruption
  • Add a few more moons around the earth(looks good you know :D )
  • There would be no terrorism
  • There wouldn't be any nuclear warheads, nuclear energy will only be used to generate electricity
  • Enabled Tesla to have built his free energy machine
  • Everyone will have the same religion, caste, race
  • And a lot more things that I could think of.

I think all these would instantly advance the world a 1000 years in the future and I love it!! :D

I would raise everyone's IQ to 250, offer a way for people to learn new languages and skills matrix-style, and have everyone be able to telepathically share their world experiences with everyone else.

If one Einstein can change the world forever, imagine what 7.5 billion Einsteins could do! I think we will learn 100,000 years worth of knowledge in like a day!! That would be awesome :D

And to clarify, by having everyone able to easily share world experiences, I would hope that would spread more knowledge, experience, and "compassion" for one another as well. Just some thoughts, as always, still a "work in progress"! :)

If everyone's IQ is raised, only a few would be left, rest slaves and most would be killed.
No guess why only human rule this world of all species and why slavery prevailed for so long.

Hmmm.. Never thought that way. Interesting viewpoint.
