Remember the movie ‘Bruce Almighty’ where God is actually Morgan Freeman in a pristine white tie and suit? For those who don’t, after being dealt a bad hand in life, Jim Carrey complains that God is not doing a great job and eventually receives his powers to set things right.
Jim then walks on water, makes a meteor strike the planet and turns prayers into e-mails, apart from impressing his girlfriend and getting his rival fired. But what would you do if you were the Almighty?
According to The Independent, Reddit user u/Tyrannonathan recently asked everyone, “God is retiring, and asks you to permanently replace him. What is the first thing you do as the new God?” And people had some amusing responses.
From eradicating diseases, hiring more help, making penguins fly to making criminals disappear into thin air, here are some of the most interesting answers we found on the Reddit thread. Take a look.
Some pretty noble ideas there, don’t you think? But do you think they’ll solve the world’s problems or realize like Jim Carrey in the movie that you can’t tamper with free will and replying ‘Yes’ to all prayers isn’t exactly the best solution?
