My answer could always change if only because I cannot know what God changes with or without my power. As far as I know it still was the self-deluding free will which was acting like the power of God.

This question was directed to me for my irresponsible situation of free will at NOW, no?

Ah. Yes. Given the choice I think I'd have to hide the Ring in the Depths of the earth. The temptation of we humans to use it would be too strong to resist. Of course they would intend to do good - even if a few wickedly misguided opponents needed to be squoshed to a sanguine smear under an invisible foot. Yes, The intent would be to put everything right and make everyone happy. That is how it would start.

I'd pile a few more tons of earth on the hiding - place.

honestly..i would make ALL humans ,love each other. this would remove ALL forms of hatred, greed,and jealousy. then i would make sure no one were homeless or hungry. actually this is something Jehovah God had always plan,( making his people happy).

and he will,once he do away with many people and things,(Pro. 2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it).

make sure no one would be homeless or hungry...(Isa. 65:21,22 - And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands).
peace

Irrelevant question, since there is no god hence no powers.

Not many humans can handle power anyway so how could we possibly handle even one fraction of the power of God..

We understand the power of money, the power of the spotlight and the power of greed, but few understand the power of God..

I think I would also "give it back"..

I would command that people stop believing in magical bearded sky daddies and take more science classes.

If I had powers I would make everything perfect. Make everyone robots and then give them a false sense of freewill and then sleep the rest of the time.

I would eliminate the thread of greed in humans and instill compassion and mercy. A lot of people who start out trying to help others often let their greediness takeover thus wiping away any good they have done. I would also eliminate any suffering of a child/pets and bring back all the children\pets who died from such suffering. You would just be unable to hurt them, you mind wouldn't allow it.
