People of the Internet.

Who wants to be a God?

Isn't that a Queen song or something?

[immasuperhero]

I'm more of a fan of Fat Bottomed Girls myself.

[croozin]

Yeah. But he didn't even like fat-bottomed girls. He liked men.

So that kind of makes him a hypocrite of sorts.

[immasuperhero]

John Lennon wasn't a walrus either. It's best not to look too far into these things.

[immasuperhero]

Whether you listen to anyone or not really depends on what kind of God you want to be.

Back in the old days, Gods did what they wanted and sometimes were as imperfect as man.

[plumpumpkin]

agreed... even though..technically I am already weird by normal standards cause I'm the daughter of a necromancer.

[plumpumpkin]

What sort of god? Like...a god of death or are we talking christian god or the gods of roman mythology...their important things to take into consideration.

But meh...I don't think I would...especially if it was christian god and there could only be one...cause I'd like to have my other gods to hang out with.

[immasuperhero]

Any kind really. It's a very broad question!

The Greek gods were quite interesting with their soap opera-esque antics, I'll admit. Zeus was a romantic after my own heart.

[plumpumpkin]

well, then my answer still stands...only if it were the greek/roman gods kind of thing cause they did whatever they wanted and had other gods to hang out with.

[immasuperhero]

They did seem more the type I'd wanna have at a party, yeah.

[greedyful]

Depends on what sort of God. I mean, you read up on all that mythology crap and some of those gods got shafted. I mean, you have gods of rot, and poetry and fireplaces...

But hey, all powerful? Sign me up.

[immasuperhero]

Ah, but is there a god of video fireplaces?

Somehow I'm not surprised you're the first taker.

[gooddoggy]

Regardless of wanting or not, it isn't up to people to assume the role of a 'god'. Some people try real hard too, amassing power and knowledge, but no one can handle that sort of responsibility. No one should have power over another person. And that's all wanting to be a god is, isn't it? Wanting to be better than everyone else, to be worshipped and have the power to create and destroy at a whim?

Wanting to be a god is like wanting to be born into a rich family, or be the child of a powerful ruler. When you're too lazy to make something of yourself on your own and want everything handed to you on a silver platter.

[immasuperhero]

Now, now. Maybe a guy just thinks it'd be nice to have a couple marble statues made of him.

[gooddoggy]

Martin Luther King, Jr has statues made of him.

[immasuperhero]

I'm not really serious about this, you realize.
