I was listening to a lecture by Alan Watts yesterday, and he played an interesting game with those listening to him. He said
"Let us suppose that I am the patient, and you are the student and the doctors. And I suffer from what you would call the delusion that I'm god. And therefore, you might want to do something about me or with me, or humor me or ask me questions. And so I'm perfectly willing to submit to your examination or to your treatment, and I invite you to help yourself."
I thought it would be interesting to try this out here. Every day for awhile we'll pick someone else to be god the next day.
So, I am now god. For today, at least. Ask me a question, or questions, and say who you want to be god tomorrow.
You don't really listen to heavy metal non stop do you?
Na, we know the interposing of the hard with the folky ballad adds power, but the youngens round here don't get it.
Should we smite the misguided youth or drug them into submission?

Alas, my child. Do you still question whether or not I listen to heavy metal constantly? Did I not send to thee' prophets which told of my musical tastes? I know none of them personally came to you, but still, you SHOULD know.
Easy pal, I'll do the smiting around here. After all, I can kill people at my leisure without being immoral, you cannot.
If the youngsters are being troublesome, delete their Facebooks and destroy their cell phones. As for drugging them, they have already been drugged by the world you all live in.

Why are you, Pudding, worshiping something you created?
I'd just like a straight unequivocal answer to the question...........WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
Your answer will be a factor in my decision to respond further or not.
Extropian
Quote from: "Cecilie"Why are you, Pudding, worshiping something you created?
It's due to comments such as this that you are at the top of the To Be Smote List.
Hey God, how come you never answered any of my prayers when I was a christian?
Who's God at the moment?
Quote from: "Tank"Who's God at the moment? 
I suppose ForTheLoveOfAll is for a few hours more.
Do you have any enticements to offer us for deifying you?
Hey god, apparently you like sacrificial offerings. Because I like animals and my fellow humans, I was wondering if you also accept Mars Bars, kit Kats or Snickers? I'm on a diet right now so I have a few spare comestibles lying around.
Hopefully that'll be ok. If not, I'm sure I can go out and find some roadkill.

Yes, but none I could post on the internet.

Inappropriate for the internet? They must be very special enticements.
Should the new god eat the old one's heart, or something?
If you haven't noticed, I'm being totally silent on all matters here. Every day is a Sunday to me, so I'll be resting for a few more thousand years. (Even though I said I'd be returning shortly.)
As I said, did I not leave you all prophets? Are they not good enough for you? DId I not make it absolutely clear 5,000 years ago how I liked my baby sheep cut open and my old candy bars wrapped in linen cloth and fed to young virgins?
You feeble humans never listen. I hereby pronounce The Magic Pudding the new god, since he pleased me the most due to his threats of smiting.
Pudding's ritual to become a deity will involve mass murder of every person who denies him being the real deity and quietly whispering into the ears of men who nobody has ever heard of that they are now the voice of god, and that they should wear funny hats.

You would feel so guilty if I have a heart attack tomorrow.
Quote from: "ForTheLoveOfAll"The Magic Pudding the new god, since he pleased me the most due to his threats of smiting.
Oh what an honour I'm now god, I kind of always suspected this would be my fate.
Thank you to all of those that supported me, and those that didn't don't make any plans for tomorrow.
I'd like to thank my parents but that would be hypocritical, I just damned them to eternity in an ultimate pain dimension. But I'm god I can be as hypocritical as I want, thanks mum, thanks dad.
Anyway I'd love to stay and chat but I've got some smiting to do.

You do not, you think I'm extremely unlikely and "an extremely unlikely pudding" sounds pretty cool.

As long as he keeps the bananas down he's got my support.
Quote from: "The Magic Pudding"As long as he keeps the bananas down he's got my support.
And then the LORD thy God said: If there be a banana near ye or your wife has a banana or your children or your brother or neighbour, so shalt you pry the banana from their cold dead fingers and squash it and their corpses shalt you feed to pigs, for they who have touched the unclean belong in the belly of those who bathe in dirt.
Good enough?
amen
Any more prayers..?
The LORD thy God hath a whole Book to write, after all.

Praise Asmo
Tank has shown his dedication by sending forth sacred apes to shower praise on the blessed one.
Praise be to the blob of clay.
Then the LORD thy God witnessed wickedness within His land: The evil priests were determined to turn the people from their LORD.
And the LORD said: Henceforth shall I send children to know the priests and for all time will the priests of the false God be spoken of as knowers of children. So shall it be, said the LORD.

And thou shalt knoweth the great Wrath of the LORD thy God and pustules and gnashing of tracks," so said the LORD.

And the LORD thy God shook with a fury like Hell itself hath no. And the LORD said: Let it be known throughout the lands that I, the LORD thy God, from this day and unto eternity everlasting, banish all things armoured from My graces, that when Death taketh them, they shalt know no heav'n nor life everlasting. They shalt know no virgin and taste no candy, so command I, the LORD thy God.

...Because thou may not know the LORD thy God as thou knoweth thine House and Land. The LORD thy God is not for ye mere mortals to behold. He is everywhere and nowhere.
And he who farteth in the general direction of the LORD thy God, him shall ye put in a pit and into that pit shall ye cast refuse and foul things, so there may be wailing and gnashing of teeth. So sayeth the LORD.
