Create your own world

**Zhaylin** · 02-26-2009 08:37 PM

My religious beliefs say only 144,000 people go to heaven and the rest of righteous mankind will live forever on a perfect planet.
The Bible says the 144,000 will be Priests and Kings for 1,000 years... which has often left me wondering what they will do after that time.
I like to imagine that as the earth begins to populate, the 144,000 will be in charge of creating new planets for people to migrate to.
Which in turn, makes me wonder if duplicate Earths will be created or something different, with perhaps different types of people, plants, animals, atmosphere etc.
Which, in turn, makes me wonder: If I was creating a new world, what would I create? Because of my religious beliefs, it would have to adhere to some fundamental rules regarding God's Universal Sovereignty etc- but other than that... ???

It's hard for me to imagine creating lifeforms that in some way aren't a duplicate of what we have already. Purple trees are still still trees, intelligent creatures are still basically people no matter what shape or form they take.

What about you? If you could create an entire world, what would it be like?

This thread should be renamed to: The Dangerous Effects of Religion on the Human Psyche.

In my world...things would be as they are here on Earth...except I'd be God. I'd be a God who had long flowing black hair, silver eyes and a chiseled body. I'd be 8 ft. tall and I'd walk amongst my people. I'd be involved in their lives. Noone too socially small or too socially big would be exempt from my presence, visitations and care. In essence...I'd be a God that's active in his creations lives. I wouldn't just create shit and bail like what's his face.

You beat me to it, what a shame.

Spoiler for Lord Sauron the Great:

-

My world would be a universe with a multitude of star systems and galaxies, and full of intelligent civilizations that have the ability to traverse through empty space. Magic would also exist, and I would be it's supreme master. I would also live among my people, like Jeff. I would command a host of spirits to serve as my pirate crew among the stars, trapping trade vessels and anything else that has the horrible luck to cross my path, so that I may test the purity of their souls. I will also ask them if they fear death, and (assuming their answer is yes) I will offer them a chance to forstall judgement if they choose to serve aboard my most pro pirate ship ever. If their answer is no, I wipe their memory clear of the event and jetison them off into space towards the nearest habitable planet. If anyone loves that person enough, surely they will come to rescue them. My pirate ship will be named the Antigravity-Dutchman.

[edit 1] Earth would exist. Tatoine would exist. There'd also be a Middle Earth (on whatever planet that was), a steampunk version of Earth, and thousands of other awesome variations. There'd be a 65 million years ago Earth too, for kicks. We go raptor hunting in the Sayo-zhar star cluster on planet Nkos'm'borne every 5 and a half Earth months.

[edit 2] There'd also have to be an elite ninja training planet with the most advanced cybernetic implants and such to produce the most terrifying and invisible ninjas ever. The planet will be called Bruce Lee, in honor of Bruce Lee. There will be no planet named Chuck Norris, because Chuck Norris is a phony.

[edit 3] Vampires and Werewolves would exist in sector J-13 on planet Twilightlol, but the werewolves would be superior, because vampires are not as good as them. The planet would be a lot like Earth, except there'd be vampires and werewolves... There is also a vampire named Edward Cullen, but he dies from a werewolf attack on his 15th birthday. There is also a human girl named Bella on this planet, but she becomes a werewolf, and she's hot. In fact, she's one of the hottest werewolves ever.

[edit 4] A planet with Autobots and Decepticons. The autobots die.

[edit 5] There will be a time when the Flying Spaghetti Monster reigns over a very large rock-planet with Earth-like humanoids, and it will make many spaghetti spawns. Cyborg-Pirate-Ninja Jesus would eventually come to pwn the monster so hard that the Earth-4chan forums will be making parody images of it for the next 5,000 years. After that, the world will experience a "crash", through which the internet will die. There will also be a very sane man by the name of Howie who will go through many an epic adventure to renew the internet to its former glory, and he will eventually succeed.

[edit 6] All of my answers thus far have been serious.

Nice Invader

. One thing I forgot to add...doing evil/negative deeds and dwelling on evil/negative thoughts would shorten your life. Being a person of good morale would however keep you youthful. There would be no such thing (or talk) of a heaven, hell or afterlife. If you die it's because you were negative and therefore attracted negativity into your life. A bullet in the head for instance or you getting into a fatal car accident etc.
