I would have taken away the ability to be evil. Meanness would be unheard of.

I'd also have made food just dissolve/disappear or something, so people and animals never had to go to the bathroom. There'd be no need for toilets or pooper scoopers.

Why not. At least you are real.

I feel the same way...

I always thought having the power to create everything is what made God special. What exactly is it that makes God unique? I mean, he's certifiably insane in the old testament and mellows out after he has a kid in part 2, but if the ability to create everything, including life, isn't what makes God 'god,' then what is it?

I would have let a lot of space junk to consolidate into a planet about 4.5 billion years ago and then sat back and watched what happened. I might have avoided destroying the dinosaurs and let then develop intelligence. Oh, and I would have made it impossible for any intelligent creatures to invent religion instead of science. That would have possibly avoided a lot of needless killing and random destruction.
