If the version I was raised on exists (which he doesn't), he would be thinking "Whose life can I turn upside down today? Whose child can I murder? Whose spouse can I cripple or maim?"
Just my little guess.

Thanks for this thought-provoking question. I had to think a bit and do a little research to answer this question.
It looks like God doesn't think. Thinking involes relating past experiences and present experiences. But God, in our understanding is beyond time, and has not past-present distinction.
Also thinking is a process of a dualistic mind. God, in our understanding is infinite, and cannot have a dualistic mind.
See the following excerpt from wikipedia
...........................................
Basic process
The basic mechanics of the human mind reflect a process of pattern matching or rather recognition. In a "moment of reflection", new situations and new experiences are judged against recalled ones and judgements are made. In order to make these judgements, the intellect maintains present experience and sorts relevant past experience. It does this while keeping present and past experience distinct and separate. The intellect can mix, match, merge, sift, and sort concepts, perceptions, and experience. This process is called reasoning. Logic is the science of reasoning. The awareness of this process of reasoning is access consciousness (see philosopher Ned Block).
Conceptualisation
Thinking can be modeled by a field (like a mathematical representation of an electro-magnetic field, but with each point in the field a point of consciousness). Patterns are formed and judgements are made within the field. Some philosophers believe the entire field is conscious in and of itself, a consciousness field. They say consciousness creates thinking, thinking and other brain processes do not create consciousness. Other scientists (for example Bernard Baars) think of it as a workspace. Some philosophers (for example Thomas Nagel) have said they do not have a clue as to how we are aware of our thinking.
A thought can be said to be whatever arises in the dualistic mind. A dualistic mind is one in which the one from which the thought arises considers himself to be separate from other forms. A thought may be an idea, an image, a sound or even an emotional feeling that arises from the brain.

He is thinking "God, oh wait, that's me. Me, I miss the dinosaurs."
