Chapter 5 by Wikia Wikia

How do you go about making gods?

You make them from scratch.

You look over the book a little more and decided he needed to test this out on the world around him.

You leave the house and walk towards the park. It was the weekend, so the park was full of families and pet-owners and pets and other people. The town you live in was small, barely on the map, but it still had a sizable population to tax-fund a lovely park, with freshly mowed grass, trimmed trees, a fountain, ponds, a veteran monument and sidewalks for drawing chalk on.

Still not used to using your omnipotence, you decided that it would be better that creating something as monumental as a divine being was not done within plane sight of normal people living their lives.

You get out your notebook and pen.

  • Everyone in the park is at home.

Within the span of a micro-second, all noise vanish spare a few birds and the sound out a local man-made river-pond. Every man, woman, child and animal vanish in an instant. The humans are all back home, their memories altered and left unaware that they were all in the town's park just a second ago. Birds that were flying or eating breadcrumbs were suddenly nestled in their nests yards away. Squirrels stopped chasing each other and were now nestled in their respective trees.

"Alright. I'm omnipotent. I'm omniscient. This should be easy. All I gotta do is write it down and boom, a new god. Right."

You blink. Then you get out your mythology book and look it over one more time.

"You know what? Lets write down some rules first. Yeah. Just to be safe."

You find the last thing you wrote in your journal and

  • I, Michael Hazelton, am the supreme being that all other gods answer to. All other gods listen to me and cannot overrule me or my power. Also, they can't hurt me.

"Yeah. That could work. Hey Voice, you will alert me if there is anything wrong right? You know, just in case I miss something?"

<You must assert to the universe what is "wrong" or "right".>

"You're no help at all."

<Help only comes when asked.>

"But I am asking."

<You receive help as "help" is defined. You must define what "help" is.>

"I'm starting to regret this whole 'omn-pedia' business. You'd think knowing everything would be more intuitive."

<"Omni-" is the prefix meaning "all, every, the whole, of every kind". To be "omniscient" mean to be "all-knowing". To be "all-knowing" would be to know everything that is, was or ever will be.>

"I know that!"

<Exactly.>

"My 'all-knowing brain' is a real smartass!"

It then occurs to you that you are still just arguing with yourself and decide that continuing this "conversation" is not worth the effort or the existential crisis that it makes.

Funny. You always figured it was god's job to cause existential crisis, not have them.

"Screw it. I have gods to make."

You pick up your pen, ready to write.

What god does he create?
