No, I never feel resentful that I am not God. Actually, I am very grateful that I am not God!!!
 
I’ve never, never wanted God’s job. I would make a horrible mess of it. It would be nice to have super power so that I could save innocent lives like Jessica Lund(SP?) but I would probably make a mess of super power also.
 
All you people are saying it would be too stressful, but couldn’t God (since he can do everything) just freeze time and sleep for 10 maybe 12 years or so. C’mon you gotta think outside the box. Heres the box ] heres where you should be -------->

But I don’t get it, how can I be God? :rolleyes:
 
Nope. I find the possibility akin to asking why there is suffering or why is the universe the way it is. A good point was brought up about sin though. In deliberate sin, we attempt to make ourselves demagoges to our Pride. Besides, I have enough of my own cross, and I know I never could have carried His. Thanks and God Bless.
 
Always thought I was being blamed for everything that went wrong in the world anyway.:banghead: Has made me very paranoid:whacky:

So the answer is NO WAY would I ever want to be God. My shoulders just are not strong enough to hold the responsibility.
 
I’m not sure, but I believe that such ponderance if one is truly dwelling in it is considered one of the sins against the Holy Spirit, which is:

***(4) Envy the spiritual good of another, ***

(Clarification: Regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians states, “All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually as the Spirit chooses.” To envy the spiritual good of another is to question the Divine judgment of the Holy Spirit in His distribution of spiritual gifts. It is to be jealous of another person who has a gift different than one’s own gift. Through envy, one rejects the gift that he has received from the Holy Spirit, determining in his own mind that the gift he has received is not good enough for him and he wants someone else’s gift.)

The “of another” in your question is God Himself, which to me is probably a tad worse than wanting gifts that others have.

Granted, it is not identical to the question above, but if we truly ponder it, the issue is the same be it envious of spiritual gifts others have or envious of God himself.

If anyone is thinking this, in all charity, I highly recommend discussing it with a priest in confession. Sins against the Holy Spirit are particularly grave and I wouldn’t take chances. If it was anything more than a passing thought, it really should be brought up and forgiveness requested.

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.

Perhaps by the devil, perhaps by one’s biology 🙂​

Resentful ? No 🙂

What prompts the question ? (if one may ask)

I do think that Simon Tugwell O.P. is wise in thinking of egotism (IIRC) as an attempt to play God. All sin is idolatry of some sort - and that implies denying that the Real, Living, God is indeed God alone. To be free of sin, is to be free even of the wish to put oneself in the place of God. ##
 
Not really, I hear they only offer an HMO and hardly cover dental. 😃

SO do I! 😃 For those of you that don’t know what Sims is. Its a computer game, in which you create a little household for a little tiny human. You are in charge of making sure that the person is happy and content. This includes making certain that your little character goes to sleep, gets a job and even uses the bathroom.(There is no nudity) Very fun but a bit aggravating sometimes.
 
I have enough trouble being myself… why would I want to try to solve everyone else problems…

Although sometimes when I get cut off a few times by the maniacs on the highway, I would like to zap (as in an electric shock, nothing serious but a cattle prod effect would be cool !!) a few of them just to let them know God is watching what kind of jerks they are making of themselves.

Besides, how much fun can it be, knowing all the super bowl scores before they happen ??? o:) 😃
 
you know what, i don’t think so. not even in my wildest dreams. and that’s saying a lot!
 
All the time. In my own little world, I want everything to be exactly my way.

Which probably explains why nothing ever is.
 
No. and I have never given it one minute of thought until I read this thread.

Do you think that women that want to be priests are angry because they can’t be God? Maybe…
 
I have often thought God is very lucky. He can do whatever He wants, and He doesn’t have to worry about going to hell.
 
I am glad God IS God and I am not!
I’d end up messing something up and the whole universe would be in shambles! :eek:

God CANNOT mess anything up, and I’m certainly glad for that!

Praise Be to GOD!
 
Geez Louise…I have a hard enough time being myself sometimes… no thanks…ask Father Corapi…:whistle:
