Please tell the truth. Do you ever feel resentful that you are not God? You realize, of course, that such a feeling could only be prompted by the devil.
 
I’ve often wanted to be taller, smarter, thiner, but I’ve never even thought about wanting to BE God.
 
Please tell me that this is a joke. I can honestly say that I’ve never wanted to be God.

This is a good question. How many of us struggle with pride? Wanting to be God probably comes with the territory if one struggles with pride. I can say that I’ve never consciously wanted to be God or been resentful that I am not God, but unconsciously, who knows? I know that if I was, alot of people would be in trouble, so thank God I am not Him. He’s much more merciful and patient than I am.👍

Very good. Yes. Go to the top of the class!

Wished I were God? Nah, I could never get used to the hours 😉

are you asking if I ever wished to have some sort of special, non-human powers to change the world?

sure

I remember praying for them as a little kid

fortunately we grow up and deal with the world as it is and as we are
 
I have never thought about it until now! If I was God I would be terrible at it, because there would be constant lightning hitting people who annoy me. Just watch “Bruce Almighty” or better yet don’t.

I believed like 97% of you that I could never resent God for being God and I am not. I suspect that Jonah must have felt the same way when God first approached him to be the profit to the Ninevites. Then God asked him to take on the personal risk of bearing His message into a hostile territory. Even after Jonah successfully delivered God’s message and saw first hand the great works of God, he still resented God’s sense of justice and mercy and challenged it by demanding death. God sent another lesson, (the goard and the worm) this one just for Jonah, but it speaks to us all.

“Pray that you are not put to the test…”
 
Well I, for one, understand what you’re getting at here, I think, though “resentful” is not the term I would use. I’m a history nut, and I always wish I knew everything that ever happened, the truth about everything, and knew *everything *that is going on now, and could read every book and hear *every *piece of music, and visit every place in the world and speak every language.

There’s only one being that could do all that. So I guess I’m sort of frustrated, but not really resentful.
 
Wow, being God would be TOO stressful to me. Plus, I’d have alot of my “children” disobeying me all of the time.

no, though I honestly would like to fix things I know I can’t…though, I think, God must feel an awful lot like that sometimes.

Not only have I not, but I have not even thought about such a question.

And I have not even thought about thinking about such a question!
