How would you act?

I see a lot of criticism on how hatefull and vengefull christian/jewish god is, destroying cities, killing people, flooding them etc.
Just wondering. If you were a supernatural being breeding humans on earth, wanting to make them as you wished them to be, and you had an oponent ruining your plans, how would you do it?
What would you do with humanity? What would be your alternative to forced selection as described in various religions?

well one thing i would do.
i would sent lots of Jesus's out..... keeping up with the times.
for example I would go find everyone who is a "holy" person or who wants to be and say "would you like to leave this place and start over?" and then I'd take them and transplant them upon a new world and let them start their own societies.... and keep working from there.
reincarnation i suppose. so the people who want to sin can stay on this one and I don't have to destroy it, because they will destroy themselves in due time.

So you'd make two earths? One for the good kids, one for the bad kids?
What would then be the purpuse of the "bad" earth? A planet full of your junk material?

well i would not deliberately create junk material. If something went wrong I would attempt to leave things in motion the best they could, but take measures to deliver anyone who wants deliverance or peace.
there's no right answer to this kind of question.
if there were a way to bring peace to all then of course that would be a proper action.
these people would in essence be dream characters, and I, the dreamer. They would in essence be fragments of my self and by spreading light and love to all eventually they would all undergo transformation and reintegration into that which they came from.

One problem I see with the "multi-Jesus" strategy: Not everyone will accept every one of them as legitimate. In fact, many people will probably fight wars over which prophet is more legitimate.

I would do exactly what is happening now, cause this is perfect. Not that I'm in bliss or anything, but you must have bad to have good. Nature, random free natural chaos. It's beautiful!!

They would all have free will, and you would not be the only dreamer. The satan would also have power to corrupt them, and you could not do anything to change their decisions.
With this kind of selection, the "bad" earth would pretty soon turn into hell, where only violent evil people lived. And what would you do with children who are born into this hell? Inocent children, uncorrupted yet, should they have their childhood spent in literal hell?

Satan was never the oponent, he was an angel. He was created as a warrior of the light, and he turned bad.
Note that, as god, you don't have power of the choices of angels, humans or saints. This is where it stops. They can chose whatever they want, so some of them turned on you because they lacked patience and selfrespect
