As an omniscient being, you would know better. In your world, we would "only desire for happiness in ourselves and others" and we would be "perfectly happy." Forgive me for confusing that with love.Clickety:

As you can see, your scenario (ie, what you would do given the powers) was a direct response to our discussion about God's benevolence. So if it's a non-sequitur to mix the biblical god with what you would do given the powers, it most certainly isn't mine. For what it's worth, I didn't think it was a change of subject.
Are you being obtuse on purpose? If you believe in God, then you also believe that there is no running away. You can't "run the other way" because there IS no "other way".
I was speaking in context of whatever verse I pasted. "The other way" would be towards evil (as opposed to departing from it). As for how you mean it, the Bible agrees with you. Psalm 139:7-8.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
Well, you could have stopped at the question. You were talking about fixing things. It's "what people do." But if you, being the controlling god you are, are to be chastised for not "doing your job" when you don't fix things, then apparently your job is to fix things that you - or anyone - breaks. I inferred that to mean God should fix what we break because its his fault for giving us the ability to do so. I'm sorry if I misunderstood.
In this case, it might very will be the mayor's fault. Maybe he didn't hire enough garbage men. Whatever the reason, I disagree with the implication that we don't have all we need to fix what really needs fixing.
Thanks for the chat.
