Exactly like the life I have now, except I'd have a talking unicorn that shits gold bricks.

I kinda like how things turned out. So I guess I'd be me exactly as I am, but with omnipotence. *nod*

But at least the argument would be over:

God is a warped individual that doesn't listen to your prayers and frankly couldn't give a crap. He's only interested in entertainment and everyone on Earth exists to either be entertained or be the entertainment. That and sipping margaritas on a beach in the Caribbean. On the plus side, he doesn't hold killing in particularly high regard which he has turned every weapon within 200 miles of Jerusalem into a yummy cinnamon buns. Take the hint.

Now tell me that isn't in many ways preferable to what we have now. :)

I would have one where I had no destiny except that which I choose, one that would surprise me every day with some beauty I could never have imagined.

In other words, I would live the life I have.
I am the very model of the modern kaiju Gamera
I've a shell that's indestructible and endless turtle stamina.
I defend the little kids and I level downtown Tokyo

I just don't like the idea of how the danger of pie or mud is not a question of if, but when. Please understand my anxiety, as opposed to when there was a questionable existence of God and when pie and mud was if.

Oh. Gotcha. He's not the only God of Mischief though. There's also Hermes, Robin Goodfellow and Coyote. I'm partial to Hermes myself.

I miss having a pantheon. Maybe we could try to create a national, secular version, with something like Congress.

Then, there are the Trope Pantheons if you are willing to settle for fictional characters.

Pantheons are dangerous things, i hear tales of them in exotic countries like, "edinburgh zoo" and "Jaffa".
They can take a mans arm clean off in one bite.

Indeed!



Actually, I'm not sure there's any modification I can make to my life that would make me a better/happier person. I mean, a lot of the trauma that's happened sucks, sure. But it's sort of defined, or help to define who I am.

Nah. I wouldn't change anything.
