Who says I wouldn’t use my power for good? Indeed, I very much would. But, you see, it would be necessary for me to extend my power into perpetuity in order to ensure the continued, lasting, golden age of peace, harmony and prosperity for all mankind.
And that’s also why I would rule over my people myself. I would be an active, engaged deity. Not a cold, distant, unseen and unknown one. I’d be the best god this world has ever had.
