@suzianne saidare you having a go at the ludicrous notion jesus had to die for our sins or you are genuinely concerned that a human turned god will inevitably become a danger to humanity
Controversial answer: Kill myself to save all mankind.
i am down with exploring either one

@fmf saidfirst i find it funny you got 3 down votes on a harmless one phrase post that is actually a reasonable point if view
Having created human reason, I would be set about proving all the deists right by not getting involved.
secondly, common, not even some minor nightmares for Putin for the war in Ukraine?
@zahlanzi saidApparently, it's what has been referred to as "forum retribution" meted out by ludicrous adolescent-like posters who make no secret of who they are. I think I have had every post of mine thumbed down at least once for the last 10+ years.

@zahlanzi saidNo, the only kind of creator entity I find somewhat credible is one whose nature is, as far as we know, is described by the laws of physics and chemistry, biology and neurology etc.

If it does exist, then perhaps it is all around us for all to see: the universe.
As for pretending that it's some sort of superhumanoid with wishes and feelings and plans and all the rest, I'm not sure I see the point. Stuff like "Putin" and "Ukraine" are within the domain of human action and interaction ~ politics ~ and not divine brings and phenomena.

@zahlanzi saidThat's why that is the controversial answer. It could be both.

@zahlanzi saidGood point.
a bit old testament-ey of you
everyone evil, everyone republican, everyone vegan or just everyone.
i am assuming that because you said rampage, you don't have an end goal. Bear in mind you just got your powers, you still have to live on this planet until you find out if you can travel somewhere else. A planet full of corpses might be a bad place to live
I was going on the assumption that I lacked omniscience, as it said in your OP.
I guess I hadn't thought it through. 😳

Hmm i am unsure if i made myself clear but that's exactly what i wanted you to become.
Don't think Q from star trek. Maybe a mix of Superman and Professor X and Storm (and others) is in order. You wouldn't even have special knowledge just a regular human that wakes up one day learning they have super powers.
What would you do with those
"Stuff like "Putin" and "Ukraine" are within the domain of human action and interaction ~ politics ~ "
Human is what you are.
I am interested what would people do if given a lot of power.
Some of us, right now, run for office in the hopes, for example, make billionaires pay taxes. If you were superman, would you instead throw billionaires into the sun and make it clear you would keep doing that unless they change the system themselves? How many billionaires would it take to throw into the sun until the remaining ones do the things you demanded. What would the repercussions be.
Common have some fun
@zahlanzi saidIf I want to chat with you about stuff like Star Trek and Superman, I will PM you.

Not really known for their sense of humor, no.
