If you could create your own God, what would it be like?
What powers do you imagine it would have? What degree of dominion would it have over the beasts of the field and its children? Would it be benevolent, or wrathful? Compassionate, or ruthless? Tolerant, or prejudiced?

Everything that God is now except I would make him with a her (a god and goddess) and together they would rule and somehow make themselves known rather than like today where many people live in doubt and question

Well, Humanity already did that when Man created "God" in his own image, and amazingly imbued this 'god' with all kinds of human characteristics like "anger" "jealosy" not to mention some extremely homicidal inclinations.
I recently read something in which the writer referred to "God" as a "vindictive, bloodthirsty, mysoginistic, homophobic, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadistic, capriciously malevolent bully" All exceedingly human characteristics, which seems to contradict what would be more logical from an infinitely wise, infinitely loving, infinitely understanding, infinitely compassionate, infinitely knowing being who is supposed to not make any mistakes, and therefore must have designed us exactly how he intended us to be - in which case why would he be so pissed off all the time about us acting just as we were specifically designed to act?

I'd want to fly, read minds and although I would be benevolent and compassionate with a good degree of tolerance, I would still stay away from people.

Wow!, What a question.
anyway,
I believe that our God right now Jesus Christ is perfect.
He made everything wonderful and beautiful.
But if I was to just imagine another god, SHE would have
the power to reverse time whenever you wanted her to,
When we make a mistake we can erase it and everything will be peaceful.
If my pretend god was real we and the world would not at be war ,...because when Bush made the mistake of sending the troops over there, all he would have did was just plead to my pretend god to reverse time, and at the snap of HER finger, life would be very relaxing.

First of all, God is not an "it" and second of all, there is not other god that can or will replace the Lord. He is our Father, He is the one that we should be greatful for because He is the one that created us and put us on this Earth.

I don't believe in God or Gods.
But hypothetically I would design it so there was no worship or going to churches You keep your belief to yourself. Would not allow any wars, the world would be peaceful and there would be no hypocritical contradictions.
And the unity of love for all mankind.

My God would be the opposite of everything the fundamentalists say. He would be loving and all-powerful and personally involved with every person on the planet and constantly calling me to grow and become more.
Just like the real God is, I guess.

We already have done this. Just look at a list of the most prominent religions in the world.

My God would align himself in class with everyone else and teach empathy.
