[TheBigDog]

I have been inspired by some of the recent theological debates and came to the conclusion that since there is a gap between science and faith in understanding the nature of God, that we would use the power of democracy to choose a God and then let the chosen deity settle our arguments once and for all.

If you are interested in running for the position of God then post your platform here. Once we have a number of candidates I will open a poll and we will have the election. The winner gets to make the final determination of all the mysteries surrounding the nature and abilities of God. I plan on running myself, since I already claim divinity, but I am going to take some time to prepare a formal platform.

If you have questions for the candidates you can ask them here as well. The election will be in one month; September 2nd. I look forward to seeing how each of you might approach the power and responsibility of being all powerful.

Have fun!

Bill

Hey kids, vote for me and I'll set you free!

#1 I'll repeal the speed of light speed limit!
#2 I'll change the laws of physics to make the Star Trek Universe Real!
#3 No one need want for anything, replicators will provide for everyone! Every person who votes for me will get his own planet and a Star Ship runabout to get there!

Once I'm in power I'll make good on my campaign platform then leave everyone alone and not bother you again unless you need me to kick the Borgs ass or put a leash on Q or something like that
#5 I'll make ringworlds possible and build one for the earth and take a snap shot of the Earth every million years from 600,000,000 years ago and make on million mile section of the Ringworld identical to that time period!
#6 I'll build another universe and let humanity have a say in how it operates!

[Donk]

If elected, I will make the following statement:

I resign. From here on, you're on your own. Anything that goes wrong is your fault - don't blame Me for it. Likewise, anything that goes right, you can take the credit.

I made you in My image, so start acting like it! Get off your knees and stop begging for handouts. Stand tall, be smart and stop screwing up My planet!

Hey donk, don't you think you should at least clean up the mess being left behind by God's resignation? I plan to leave things much better than they were when I am elected!

Was it Me who made the mess?

I passed the whole thing over to Adam and his kin, putting in a few checks and balances to stop it getting out of hand. I thought what I did to everyone except Noah way back would have taught people how to behave. Then I just turn my back for a few millennia, and what do I find? My beautiful top predators turned into rugs, and six billion uninvited gatecrashers at the party!

[Thunderbird]

I am Thunderbird, keeper of all records of life on this planet, Lord of the earth, , elect me as god and I will connect mankind with the galactic internet.
