   Feed everyone that is hungry. It always makes me so sad to see someone who is hungry. Yesterday, on the corner a man was holding a sign that said, "starving, please help."

   Good question, I think this might sound silly but I would kind of be like the Goddess Artemis of Greek Mythology. I know I should want to bring peace to man and so on and so forth, but honestly, I don't see that ever happening.
   
   So anyway lol, back to my answer. I think I would be like Artemis and I would be in the woods for an entire day running with the deer.
   
   Or I'd turn myself into a dog and run wild and free. Because it seems that dogs a whole lot happier than humans.

   I would just be.  I would be the Great I AM.  For me, God is a noun, not a verb.  Whenever a person says "I am .....", they are speaking their individual expression of God.  So if I say "I'm a writer", I am at that moment expressing the Principle of communication through the written word.  Or to put it another way, "God communicates through the written word and I'm one expression of that principle".

    This question, whether or not it was intended, is set up to be a critique of the job God does being God. So far the answers indicate that many are disappointed with His performance. They also seem to indicate that some think they could do better. This presupposes that we being finite in our intelligence and understanding have a better grasp of the big picture than the One who created it and invites us to be a part of it. It's a question that should not be asked, out of reverence for the One who knows ALL. The only true answer that any of us is qualified to give is "I'd screw things up no matter how pure my intentions. There is NONE qualified for the position, except God Himself"

Because if you still live in the past , then God doesn't have use for you in his kingdom . I would show people how to love .

    Since it seems that all was created by God, I would tweak my creation. Once and for all I would transform all the streams of consciousness that I´ve created in the past (all humans, angels, demons, beasts, spirits, lower spirits, mosquitoes, bed bugs ... every single one of them without exception) into replicas of myself ... omniscient, wise, all loving, all compassionate, perfect and happy beyond grasping by the ordinary consciousness of you, reader. Beyong grasping, that is, until I make you like Me.
    End of answer.
    Now talking seriously.
    The Fathers of the Church from the early centuries had a saying about the Incarnation: God became man so that man becomes God.
    So, extend that to all beings and my answer is not as crazy as it may sound.

    I'd freeze time but allow duration to continue so I could devise and implement a month-long plan. I'd create and seed the cures for all known illnesses into the minds of altruistic research physicians throughout the world, making them cheap and easily available. I'd give sources of cheap, infinitely renewable energy to the appropriate engineers. I'd develop tech capable of breaking down any pollutant and recombining it into useful materials, meaning waste and pollutions are things of the past. I'd reduce man's fertility rate and sex drive so that our population reduces and then evens out to about 3 billion in the next century or so, so that we will find an equilibrium with the world around us. I'd then find like-minded businessmen and politicians the world over and put them on the path to power with the eventual goal of establishing a worldwide economy in which any man or woman earns (at the very least) a living wage. These selfsame politicians would work to enforce the idea of the divide between church and state, rescind all laws which infringe upon the basic freedoms of man (focusing on free will and self-determination provided one does not infringe upon the rights of others), thereby ensuring wars of religious persecution would not receive state funding or sanction. Without that umbrella, crusades, jihads, and the like would fizzle out, what with those inciting such violence having nowhere to hide and no one in administrative power to rely on. Then I'd allow time to carry on, sit back, and watch as man heals himself.

    If I were God for a day I would uncover inner peace in each and every being in this planet. Peace in the world cannot come about unless we have peace within- as we affect one another.  It is one reason why Ghandi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
