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

Yeah, that's a thought that's always confused me. It's what I was always raised to believe. I grew up understanding that metaphor is just another reality that exists along top of all the other realities.

We Catholics don't have metaphor. Nope. That's a sin.
*snort*

Okay, not really. We just have a problem implementing our beliefs into everyday life. Gah, I shouldn't even be saying "we," what the hell!?
