ganked from OKC:

Possibly one of the stupidest questions I have ever seen on OKC:

Suppose there exists an omnipotent God. This God comes to you one day and says it is essential that he become human for the day and you take his place. At the end of the day, do you give God back his job, or remain God for some longer period of time?

• Give it back; I couldn't usurp God's position
  
• Give God back his job; I wouldn't want it
  
• Stay God; I'd be an awesome omnipotent ruler
  
• Stay God; I couldn't do much worse, could I?
  
  

How would your Ideal Match answer this question?

• Give it back; I couldn't usurp God's position
  
• Give God back his job; I wouldn't want it
  
• Stay God; I'd be an awesome omnipotent ruler
  
• Stay God; I couldn't do much worse, could I?
  
  

How important is their answer to you?

• Irrelevant
  
• A little important
  
• Somewhat important
  
• Very important
  
• Mandatory

this bothered me enough that i felt the need to reply twice. sorry.

i just want to emphasise that my second response is meant to be in context with my first response. which were both meant to agree with you in terms of "external and removed-ed-ness".

the question, from my point of view is even more absord. to me god both does and does not exist. to me, there is no god. i am god. and so are you. is that hindu?! I mantain not. because ultimately the question in my minde is entire mute.

but fun to ask people sometimes...

When I was twelve, my swami told me there were only two prerequisites for being a hindu:

1) You have to belive in the existence of God, which is to say, an overall direction to the events of the universe.

2) You have to like him/her/it.

If those two things are true, then you're Hindu.
