Art Bell’s open-line episode explores callers’ divine hypotheticals, from Jim’s proposal to remove the seven deadly sins—raising questions about Satan’s role and free will—to Paige’s radical swap of humans and animals for peace. Keith humorously suggests God fight Satan, while Deb Deb advocates resurrecting pets and eliminating death via dimensional transitions, blending emotion with science. Mike’s telepathy idea backfires as Art Bell warns it could escalate violence, and Bob’s brain-unlocking theory risks either utopia or apocalyptic inventions. The episode reveals how speculative divine "fixes" often expose deeper flaws in human nature, from unchecked aggression to existential boredom, while underscoring the tension between faith, logic, and unintended consequences.

From the Desert of the Sea and the great American Southwest Levitical Good evening, good morning, good afternoon, as the case may be across all 24 time zones covered by this program.
How do you do?
It's Friday night, Saturday morning, and we're going to do open lines.
So, these are the times when anything can happen now.
Let me begin the program by saying that I was deluded understatements with emails and so forth saying, since I asked last week what you would do if you were the devil, it is my absolute obligation to ask this week what you would do if you were God.
But and I'm going to do that.
I'm just going to put a slight minor little twist on the question.
So my question is going to be If you were God what would you do differently?
That's the one you've got to answer.
You want to try.
If you were God, what would you do differently?
That's going to take some thought and it should bring some interesting provocative answers.
You were God, you know, the one.
What would you do differently?
All right, well, let us look at the news.
Not so much of the war news anymore.
Though, I guess there's some left.
The big story is the baddest of the bad of the Taliban, what's left, are on their way to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, shackled and surrounded by Marines.
They're going to Guantanamo.
That's where they're going to keep them in Guantanamo.
Now, I remember the Haitians, and they kept the Haitians in Guantanamo for a while, and then essentially sent them home.
What I'm wondering here is, now, obviously, they're going to interrogate them, and they're going to say, where is bin Laden?
Where is he?
And stuff like that.
But aside from that, what I'm wondering, and what they're not talking about at all, is where ultimately are these Taliban going to go?
Are they going to stay forevermore at Guantanamo Bay, unlikely, right?
What are the other choices?
What are the other choices?
I mean, what are we going to do with them?
I don't have the slightest idea, and nobody is talking about that.
So I just hope they don't end up immigrating somehow.
And I have this horrible feeling.
Anyway.
It looks like Ford is going to cut, and they're sorry about it, certainly apologizing, 35,000 jobs.
There are many who are saying the recession may be bottoming out, and others, the Fed chairman, warning it may not, you know, the worst may not be over, or it may be.
Nobody's quite sure yet.
This could be near the bottom, some say.
Another story about Enron tonight.
Oh, I tell you, this Enron thing, the fellow who made the prediction about Enron, I have this feeling he's right.
It turns out Enron sought a big-time help from the federal government shortly before, of course, the recent bad news of Enron going.
And there had been a lot of donations made to a lot of high places.
Every day now, I look at the news and there's an Enron story there.
And it just has the feel of Watergate.
It's the way Watergate happened.
Small story at the beginning, a bigger one, and a bigger one, and a bigger one, and a bigger one.
Before you knew it, a president was taking off and leaving peached.
And I'm not saying that's how big Enron is going to be or whether it's even going to be a scandal at all because I have no way of knowing.
It's just the way they're handling this story that makes me think Israeli missile boats fired at a Palestinian naval fuel depot and a barracks as well used by the naval police in Gaza early Saturday, setting both ablaze.
So that, of course, continues and will probably forever until Armageddon over there.
And now, this is kind of interesting with regard to time travel.
Here's a really interesting story.
It looks like someone's made the calculation that for a 400-digit number, it would take something like a billion or 10 billion years for a supercomputer using conventional algorithms to factor that number.
A quantum computer could do that in a few months.
Now, we're comparing 10 billion years to a few months.
And they're about to build a quantum computer.
IBM's well on the way to a quantum, actually they've got a quantum computer.
And I'm told, you know, I don't know that much about time travel, despite what some people think.
But a quantum computer would very likely be the step to time travel.
A quantum computer, in all likelihood, would be able to be in multiple dimensions at one time.
And if that would be the case, then time travel would be either a reality or just around the corner.
And so we're making really fast strides.
Forget the doubling of processor speeds every 18 months or whatever it is.
We're making strides beyond that.
And if we should suddenly jump to a quantum computer, then time travel may be well within our grasp.
And of course, another great all-time question is, if time travel is possible, then where are the time travelers, right?
Well, they may well be out there.
And that's one answer that a lot of people have a hard time contending with.
The time travelers may be there now.
And if there is to be time travel, they probably are there right now.
Well, there you are.
I thought it interesting that we appear to have a quantum computer.
All right, well, I'm going to be rather interested to see how you answer this gigundous question.
That was a word that a fellow used on the show yesterday that I think I may adopt.
Gigundus question.
If you were God, what would you do differently?
Dare anybody take a shot at that one?
Truly a gigundous question.
Just one more little item here.
This is, actually I've got a list of these, and I thought this one was particularly interesting.
It's a medical student who wrote it.
It says he's currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center, and today a woman called in very, very upset because her little daughter had been eating ants.
When we were in South Africa, we were in Africa, actually, Eastern Africa, and they have these giant...
I could hear her screaming.
They have these giant anthills that are like six feet tall.
I mean, they're as big as a full-grown man.
They're big anthills, folks.
And the ants in these anthills are termites.
Very small difference.
That's right, a termite.
Well, no difference.
Anyway, termites build these giant things, and they are really big termites.
Really ferocious termites.
And as part of one of those safaris we went out on, we were invited to eat a termite.
Now, I turned that down right away.
I wouldn't voluntarily eat a live termite, but my wife did.
Now, the instructions were clear, and that was that you had to get the termite in your mouth and in between your teeth and crunch the termite before the termite realized that it was on a soft tongue.
In other words, the last thing you want to do is obviously throw a little thing with claws or whatever on your tongue.
And my wife put it on her tongue.
And the termite obligingly took a piece of her tongue out.
And then she aggressively crunched him.
But beforehand, he took with him a little piece of her tongue, and it bled for some time.
And ever since then, and actually I've never regretted making the decision I did not to do that.
It's an interesting invitation, but I don't know.
I just, you know, not one of those things that I would jump right to.
She did.
And we're perfect matches.
We're opposites.
And we're perfect matches in that regard.
But it was, I do have to admit, it was fun to watch.
unidentified
I do have to admit, it was fun to watch.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from January 11th, 2002.
Music Well, I launched into that story about Africa, and my wife, I couldn't resist, and I forgot to tell you about the rest of this anyway.
Here he is in toxicology at the Poison Control Center, and this woman calls in all very upset because she had caught her little daughter eating ants.
So this gentleman quickly reassures her that the ants are not harmful, not really, and there'd be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital.
Whew!
Right?
So she calmed down, and then just at the very end of the conversation added, happened to mention, that she had given her daughter some ant poison to kill the ants.
At which point she was obviously told she had better bring her daughter in right now to the emergency room, right now.
It takes a village, and we have some strange people in this country.
We really, really have some strange people that do things that are just completely indecipherable.
I've got tons of these.
Maybe I'll read you some more of them.
Anyway, open lines.
Friday night, Saturday morning.
We have given you enough brain food this week with all the programs we've done.
Boy, do we have some good ones coming up next week so that you should not have a problem commenting on anything at all.
If you wish to tackle my question, oh, that's the only other thing I want to say.
If you wish to tackle my question about God, then you must tackle it both in the spirit and the rule of the law of the question.
And the rule is it must be answered Exactly as it is asked.
If you were God, what would you do differently?
I wonder if people are going to have a hard time answering that or an easy time.
Now, people leapt, virtually leapt at the devil.
They jumped.
What a question.
I couldn't stop it.
I had email coming in from people who had devil answers.
So we'll see what you do with God.
Everybody thought, well, really ought to be fair, and I agree.
I just put a little twist on it, just a little twist.
If I were God and we were taking it from this moment forward, I would cause all people to speak a universal language.
And I would have all people, when they approach another person, to see the most beautiful person that they've ever seen in their life, even if it was an image of themselves.
Now, just the language thing by itself is pretty good, sir.
How would the world be different if we all spoke the same language, period?
unidentified
Yeah, it would eliminate the miscommunication because we would, as we're speaking the words, we would understand them without trying to translate them in our minds.
That could only be achieved, of course, with you know what, sir, a one-world government.
unidentified
Well, that would be a, well, we're talking about God taking his people that he has created and suddenly just suddenly making them so that they're peaceful.
In your creation, the drift back in time continues.
With Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
More Somewhere in Time coming up.
Girl to hold in my arms.
And know the magic of her charms.
Cause I want girl to call my own.
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone.
Dream lover, where are you?
With a love for so true.
He took a hundred pounds of weight.
And then he said.
Hey listen.
I'm gonna fix this world today because I know what's been fixed and fixed in the world again Now, we take you back to the past on Art Bell somewhere in time.
Music You know, I was thinking that guy who said that everybody in the world should instantly be made to speak the same language.
And I thought, you know, what guarantee is?
You just automatically think English, of course.
Wrong, probably be French.
This is allegedly a true story.
A man wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America in San Francisco walked into the branch and wrote, this is a stick-up.
S-T-I-K-K-U-P.
Put all your money, M-U-N-Y, in the bag.
While standing in line, waiting to give this note to the teller, he began to worry that someone might have seen him write the note and might call the police before he got up to the window.
So he left the Bank of America, crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank.
After waiting a few minutes in line, he hands this note to the Wells Fargo teller.
She reads it.
Surmising from his spelling that he wasn't the brightest bulb in the harbor, she told him she could not accept this stick-up note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he'd either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to the Bank of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, okay, and left.
They arrested him just a few moments later, waiting in line at the Bank of America.
Anyway, were I the creator, the first thing I would do would make sure that my message to all peoples, not just earthlings, but to all peoples, would be personal enough and clear enough that everyone would understand that there was one creator.
And it was kind of interesting the other night talking about uplifting, uplifting a creature like a dolphin to be able to speak and other human-like attributes.
I don't know.
It's a fascinating concept, but again, it's toying around a bit much with my taste, with Mother Nature to change the nature of it.
But then again, maybe that's what was done to create us.
I mean, they have given us a chance to speak about it.
They just don't care about what we say.
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, I thoroughly believe that in the long run, no one's going to have a say about it.
You know, even if Bush decided to not go against it, I don't think no one's going to have a choice in the matter because it seems to me that they're going to be pretty hell-bent on doing it.
Just something that would open up the ground and a few eyes.
unidentified
But to answer your question, I think your last call kind of stole my thunder, but I was going to say I would make damn sure everybody knew there's only one religion.
I think that would have maybe eliminated a lot of wars in the world.
I think if I were God, I would make sure there was only one.
And, you know, maybe in the long run, that would have saved us a lot of grief throughout history because a lot of people have died in the name of religion.
Well, yeah, I was thinking about that one earlier.
In other words, you finally pass away and you arrive at the Purley Gates, and oh, to your surprise, you know what you've done in your life, and you get up there and ask for forgiveness, and they say, you know, forgiveness?
People would be jumping off of cliffs because there wouldn't be any skyscrapers, but they find cliffs, they jump off those, and people wouldn't be able to take it without technology.
But I suppose then the ones that would be left would be pleasing to you.
unidentified
Well, eradicate technology before it happens.
You would want?
Not letting technology evolve the way it has.
Instead of basically raping the earth, create certain aspects of energy to be found earlier than what they have been.
Oh, I think love in the world where there wouldn't be uh murders and and uh killings and wouldn't you be running the risk though you know, bad as many of those things are uh of making it boring, Well, that would be a possibility.
unidentified
but I I think it would be better.
Um I don't know.
I think we just got rid of all those things that maybe the world would be a lot better place.
Donald Reagan said ketchup was a food, and actually, it really is.
But ketchup soup every day and for how long.
I'm Art Bell.
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
We said we'd try to go.
Love him, but you squeeze him each other when I'm alone all by myself.
You're out with someone else loving, touching, sweetheart.
The End Some velvet morning when I drink.
I'm gonna open up your gate and maybe tell you about Baby Drug, how she gave me life,
And how she made it in Some velvet morning when I'm straight Flowers growing on a hill Driving flies and
duffel deals Learn from us very much Look at us but do not touch Fedra is my name Some velvet morning when
I'm straight I'm gonna open up yours
gate and maybe tell you about Pharaoh and how she keeps me live and how Premier Network presents Art Bell somewhere in time tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from January 11th, 2002.
You could tell just by the music that's playing if the person you were talking to had good intentions, evil intentions, if they were your friend, if they were an enemy.
You know, you wouldn't even need the music.
Unless it'd just be so much more pleasant if we had constant music coming around, you know, to filter through the air.
And I was just going to say that, well, if I were to make a little decision there on the guide point, it would be all us animals on the earth or anywhere else in the universe become vegetarians.
That way, the dog wouldn't chase the cat, the cat wouldn't chase the mouse, would live in peace, pretty much.
Yeah, well, you know, if I was God, and it's funny, I had to answer this question because I was talking to my friend about it, and I've always thought it'd be a great thing if I was my own creator of my world and I was God, that I would create as a plague for those that are unrepentant and the cities that don't seem to want to keep my commandments.
I would create a plague of giant spiders.
I hate them too, so I think it would be the perfect thing to just creep somebody out so much that, you know, about the size of a pit bull.
They'd probably gnash their teeth like that commercial I have about grinding, you know.
unidentified
Yeah, you know, and I think, you know, you put that once in humanity, then, you know, they'd write about it and they'd say, you know, listen to what, you know, God's saying to you, because if you're not.
Because he was one of those little black and white cats where he had the black over his eyes on a white face.
And when I first got him, he was in a drop-off at a mall, and he was down in the ferns, scared of people, peeking out, and he just looked like a sniper sitting in there looking at me.
Art Bell Somewhere in Time A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer.
After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted on the counter on the shelf, and so told the cashier to put that in the bag as well.
Cashier refused and said, I don't believe you're over 21.
Robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give him the booze because he said he didn't believe them.
So at this point, the robber pulls out his driver's license, gives it to the clerk.
The clerk looks it over and agrees the man is, in fact, over 21, gives him the scotch.
Robber ran away with the loot.
Cashier promptly, of course, called the police, gave him the name and address of the robber, and he was arrested about two hours later.
Or this.
A pair of Michigan Robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers.
The first one shouted, Nobody move!
When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
You know, I guess you could be so nervous and so dumb, and a gun in your hand, and you're screaming, nobody moving, your partner moves, and you have just issued the command, so you shoot the poor.
unidentified
Boy.
Anyway, the guy you don't need is your partner.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, I'll tell you, after hearing some of the calls tonight and your question, I can see why we're not at the divine steering wheel.
That's actually, you put your finger on the overall point of the question in the first place, but it continues nevertheless, and I'll bet you have an answer.
unidentified
Well, I think there's two things I would do if I were in that seat.
The first thing is I would give mankind an absolute 100% knowledge that there is a God.
As much as their heart's beating in their chest, you would know there is a God.
The second thing I would do is give all of mankind 100% empathy.
whatever they did do someone else they felt and how could you be mean or cruel or go to war kill if you felt how you made You feel the emotions of everybody that you have ever, you know, done a bad deed to, and that's going to be a heavy trip.
unidentified
Maybe it's a late in-life lesson or our beginning lesson.
What I've always been curious about is why are only a very select few who have NDEs given this incredible knowledge while the rest of us are left to wonder if it is really so?
I appreciate your call.
Thank you very much.
Having an NDE seems like an unfair amount of information for that person to absolutely have.
Now, of course, we have them on the program.
They tell us all about it here.
But there's always going to be a shred of doubt, right?
No matter how many stories you hear, there's always going to be a scintilla of doubt for many.
And that seems so unfair that only a few would have that absolute experience.
And that would make me think, what was I thinking at the time that I cast Satan out of heaven and onto the earth where my children are, in which all the harm and hell would come to them.
Actually, being God and knowing everything that is going to happen, right?
You said it yourself.
Wouldn't that be kind of a feedback loop from which one would only emerge doubting that one is God?
I mean, if you know everything that's going to happen, and you can't change anything essentially, because you're going to do it, are you really God?
Or are you just on somebody's puppet string?
unidentified
Boy, that's a good question.
That's a good question.
Well, I was just going to say that since we have all these other planets out there, and I know that, why wouldn't I have sent Satan to those places where there's no life, where nobody would have suffered, instead of here, where all this suffering would come from?
I've been reading tonight about some people that obviously are not using even a small portion of their brains.
unidentified
Yes, and I've been hearing that.
But it just seems like almost right now, it's like, since technology is so great, it seems like right now we're almost just like a hard drive with some emotions and a conscience, and then we can move around with that.
It would just be nice, and I think that some of the questions would be cleared up for everybody as far as the existence of God and what they believe, if we had that stronger intelligence, that enlightened experience, I guess, if we could use what's consider what you said earlier for a second with regard to the seven deadly sins that you criticized Lady Olmey for naming four of.
Well, you know, I've been thinking a lot about that, and there was a day when performing your average miracle would have a great effect.
I mean, people would go, oh, they'd fall to the ground, you know, because they would realize they are seeing something totally incredible.
Now, today, you know, in 2002, it's hard to imagine what somebody could do that would not be simply and immediately disregarded by Phil Class and all his friends as total baloney, you know, and a trick.
The only thing I would say is that unlike Spock, of course, there are many who say that Spock had a good human part of emotion and so forth, but you would have to leave that emotion in place as well.
The trouble is, emotion gets in the way of logic.
So if you were to impart logic to all, you would almost have to extract emotion, wouldn't you?
unidentified
I wouldn't want it to do that because I think you can think logically and still decide to do the emotional thing, can't you?
I just, ever since this has happened, I've had these dreams, and they've just been about all these aliens, I should say, but coming to Earth and like...
And then there's this fellow in Arkansas who apparently wanted beer and he wanted it bad.
He wanted beer badly.
He decided that he'd take the direct approach and throw a giant cinder block through a liquor store window.
I mean, there was, you know, there it was, so he couldn't resist.
I mean, he could see the beer.
He's drooling.
He's got nothing on his mind but beer.
And so he takes a giant cinder block and tosses it through the window.
Problem is, the cinder block instead impacted with plexiglass and bounced back, naturally hitting him on the head, putting him in the hospital and, of course, in police custody.
So I guess he didn't go up to the window and do one of these things first.
So in other words, for example, when you buy something new and it requires some assembly, do you sit down and before you begin, before you put one piece to another piece, you know, like the monkey with the bone in 2001, right?
Before you grab that bone, before you put one piece to another piece, do you actually actually read the instructions?
You know, see, some people who called earlier said that what would make the world great would be if God had given everybody the ability to read everybody else's mind.
And you're the example of that because really, you know, after somebody has really wronged you in the day, you know, you're smiling at them, but you're really thinking, you miserable bastard.
And so it just wouldn't work.
unidentified
No, reading your mind wouldn't work.
I think that what we need is the ability not to read each other's minds and to be able to smile and think you are a horrible person and still smile and say, have a nice day.
Hey, the hydrogen energy that we have, I don't think that's the way to go.
I've run into a scientist 20 years ago, and he had a flywheel with magnets on it, and it had a drive shaft going to a smaller wheel with magnets, and you give this thing a spin, and it just flies.
There was a retardant advance on the drive line that went to the two, and there you go.
I understand the theory, but I don't think there's anything that I understand about it that escapes the law that says that eventually it slows down anyway.
unidentified
No, it doesn't.
The flywheel, the faster it goes, the more horsepower it has.
Actually, how is it escaping the law of physics that say that the motion that started is going to no matter how many pushes or explosions there are, it's still going to slow down?
unidentified
No, it's not going to slow down.
You have a retardant advance on the driveline.
You push the magnets together, probably 8 or 12.
Probably the more you have, the faster and the more horsepower you can get out of it at a low RPM.
You push these opposing magnets together.
The centrifugal force of the larger one continues to propel the slower one around to push more explosions or electromagnetic repellings.
Have I ever done, well, I've certainly had a number of guests who have commented on the Bermuda Triangle, but I don't think we've ever done a show exclusive to it.
unidentified
Okay, I wanted to ask you, has anybody on your show ever raised the question of aircraft and air crew losses on UFO intercepts?
Assuming that other planes are lost in chases after UFOs and that sort of thing.
If I, sir, were an Air Force public relations guy, I'd say something like, an F-15 was lost today in a training exercise over such and such Air Force base.
unidentified
That's what they would say.
That's what they've said after one crashed in New York State in 1954.
Bruce, up in Toronto, Canada, expresses the following.
If I was God, I'd kick my children out of the house and tell them to do something with their lives and quit trying to rely on the old man to bail them out of everything.
I think Bruce may have some issues.
unidentified
Bruce may have some issues.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from January 11th, 2002.
And what brought that up in my mind in recent days is that you were talking about Samuel Donaldson making a prediction on this week with Cokie Roberts and Sam Donaldson.
And by the way, I want to thank everybody who sent in music lists.
And one more time, one last time, I would like to solicit music lists.
I am looking for the most comprehensive lists that I can find of music, say, between 1950, even into the 40s, perhaps, but generally between about 1950 and now, or at least into the 90s.
Now, in my aged opinion, music as it approaches and moves into the mid to late 80s and then into the 90s begins to deteriorate into something that doesn't, in most cases, resemble music.
Now, there are notable exceptions to this, but generally, it degenerates into almost white noise, which is sort of all noise.
White noise is sort of everything.
A cacophony of everything, which you cannot call a tune.
You cannot tap your foot to it.
You certainly can't sing to it.
Anyway, I'm looking for some really comprehensive lists for certain reasons.
So if you have one of those, please send it along to artbell at mindspring.com.
Then, if you have the CC radio, what I would do is it's got those really cool presets on the front, and I would just set it up for each station that I can hear.
And when one takes a fade, boom, you're on the next one.
unidentified
That's exactly what I've been doing for three years.
Well, yeah, but sure, but that's what the question is allowing you to do.
Take a big leap and do something a little different.
unidentified
I think what I do is change, give everybody the ability to really look at their perspectives, you know, because there's a different way of looking at things all the time.
And I think that I would also have them be a little bit more acceptable of things around them.
And I'd probably give them the secret of happiness, at least what I believe it is.
And that's to learn how to be content with your dissatisfaction.
The series is called Lifescapes, and it's called The Scottish Moors by Jeff Victor.
And the company is Compass Productions.
And they have his little notation down here, is Jeff Victor, we use haunting tapestry of this musical land, or mystical land, using harp, bagpipe, violin, piano guitar, and the whispers of the moors.
No, but what I'm saying is, wouldn't God, by nature, pay more attention to those who didn't have blind faith?
Because, you know, the blind faith ones, you don't need to pay attention to them.
They're already part of the flock.
unidentified
That's true.
But just think how much fun he could have popping in to card games, you know, driving down the crew, all of a sudden he's sitting there next to you, changing your radio dial.
I just think that blind faith causes a lot of problems.
You know, God's a big boy.
He doesn't have to have everybody feed his ego.
He could just be everywhere all the time, answering everybody's questions personally.
In other words, when you're asexual and you can seem to reproduce anyway, that would eliminate a lot of problems in the world and in relationships with the humans.
It would, but the world would not be as interesting a place.
The world would be a much more boring place.
Now, I suggest that we all watch this story on CNN very, very carefully.
This could be the beginning of a trend.
What if, as part of human evolution...
Keith, if you're listening, see if you can find the story.
CNN, on their crawl on the bottom, was doing a story about a tank filled only with girl sharks.
Now, that was their word.
CNN said girl sharks.
Apparently, a shark has been born.
And I think they threw up the whole story was, but Miraculous Conception or something or another.
But there were only girl sharks in the tank.
I mean, they're absolutely certain of that.
And one of these girl sharks just had a baby shark.
Now, as we're watching for evolutionary changes, this could be an important story.
I don't actually believe in God, but if I were God, I would make one change to humanity, and I'd make it so everyone was telepathic, but to the sense that they could feel each other's feelings.
So if anyone did wrong to another person, they would also have to suffer through their traumatic problems.
And if you make a human being out of his image, what really puzzles me is that, you know, our seed, the way we make our youth and the way we make our children, how come God made us where the same, you know, as the penis, right, the same organism that we use to, you know, to reproduce, how come it's the same thing that we basically use to deposit our waste?
If you were God, I would use that same well, now, of course, I'm not God.
I'm just, you know, a talk show host.
But you see, even though it may have dual functions, they are not simultaneous functions, and so they're entirely different, is the answer to your question.
And in one mode, it's one thing, and when you're in another mode, you're definitely altogether in another thing, and the two do not coexist in the same time frame.
So God actually planned it rather well when you think about it, as opposed to the alternative.
It actually works out just fine.
And so he seems to have done a grand job in that category.
And by whatever age you're at, you should know that.
What if God, you know, at the end of the 12th or 13th round, God was lying there, you know, sort of woozy and not able to get up and took the 10 count.
still wondering about the guy who makes all the crowns and bridges.
said he's made thousands of them he said thousands of them with my initials in them which means thousands of you out there are walking around with my mark what your mouth
whoa that's really something to think about and you know I you sort of tell by the tone of his voice that he probably is serious but you know what they do to him if they ever got him good thing he didn't really identify himself huh just a little
tiny mark that's really weird to think about West of the Rockies you're on the air hello yes sir yes sir yes your show is fabulous well it's whatever it is you know what would I do if I was God yes what would you do differently
unidentified
well first thing I would do is I would make it really unpopular to be a leader well I would make it extremely unpopular to be a person that leads other people but we must have leaders we must have leaders but the first thing I would do is I'd make the current form of leadership super unpopular by explaining in full detail the principles of
plunder and double standards whether enacted into law or practice illegally and I would immediately send any leader that's you know but without plunder and double standards we wouldn't have leaders precisely what I would do is I take them I'd send them straight to hell I see and I'd let everybody else see where they are and I'd repeatedly play that and anybody who decided to lead by plunder and
threat of hell well maybe you all you'd have to do is make an audio tape available that would remind people remind people of what it sounds like down there one taken in the former soviet union in the deepest hole ever drilled maybe you'd do something like that first time caller line
you're on the air hello yeah good morning art good morning to you this is god calling from the trinity mountains in northern california listening to you on 780 not sure what station it is well I can help you out there it's coming from reno koh in reno nevada great good good signal yes it is what I would do is go back to genesis and I just have adam and eve eat the snake huh uh interesting thought uh and
what do you think if that had happened where what would the world be like now people it would apples
everywhere uneaten uh and and snake would be a delicacy I'm sure well snake would be a delicacy just eat the snake yeah I mean you get the first taste you know and it's with you forever all right sir thank you you bet take care well that's interesting uh wild card line you're on the air hello good morning art good morning calling from san diego yes sir not sure the station but uh I had to think about this one this is a good one that would be ko go 600 on the
unidentified
dial that's it uh this one puzzled me but I did come up with something I think that could have been provided that would give mankind a greater understanding of a whole lot yes sir and that would be a timeline give us a timeline of geological events of animal and
plant life development you mean like when earthquakes are going to occur um no this would be our our timeline for our past of course we're looking at the bible being presented to mankind what 3,000 years ago the history of the world up to that point all of the questions that science has and of nature and plant life and animal life could have been laid out for us.
Well, I will give you one little grain of wisdom here.
And that is that I think that happens.
And I think that when you lose a cat, I'm addressing only cat people here now.
Another cat will come to you.
unidentified
Well, actually, she already did.
I brought another cat home that was doomed from the animal control.
And I swear to God, she even acts like the way Balou used to act.
And it's kind of mind-boggling.
But that just teaches you that there are really no accidents.
You definitely meet the people and animals that you're supposed to.
The next item, as far as God goes, although, oh, gosh, sometimes I dream about Balou, and I think it's real because she'll let me touch her and everything in the dreams.
What are you going to do?
So anyway, the other thing about God is I'd go ahead, go straight into whichever dimension it is, seventh or eighth or ninth.
Some of the more new age, more educated people might know this, but I'd get rid of all the veils, get rid of the death, have it be that when somebody got tired of their old, you know, crunky old body, that they would just go ahead and say, okay, I'm gone.
Bye-bye.
Be like the shamanic leaders that would just walk off onto the prairie and die for the younger Indian people.
Are you suggesting, you know I have a bad back, of course, that it's time for me to take the long walk?
unidentified
Well, it might be the sort of thing where if, see, I wouldn't get rid of the technology that would allow for the titanium hip or the new backbone or somehow we'll have the technology to learn all about the central nervous system.
I think chiropractic kind of, you know, is just scratching the surface on that.
And then certain acupuncture sciences Would be like totally known by all.
If I were God, I'd one thing, there's several things I would do, but the first and most important thing would be to unlock the other 90% of the human brain so that man could utilize his potential, full potential.
I had a thought that kind of fell into a little bit what the last caller was just saying about without having tell other people's minds, what if we, from a fairly young age, felt pain that we inflicted on other people to the same severity?
Without knowing if they were happy or sadder, they thought, gosh, I hate that shirt she has on today.
We wouldn't have the mindless, sort of blank, staring youth that does some pretty inexplicable things that we have today.
unidentified
Right.
And don't you think it would be kind of like Pavlog's dog or whatever were our learned behaviors as we were growing up?
Absolutely.
We would avoid circumstances where we would feel pain, and therefore we wouldn't be inflicting it on, you know, we wouldn't want to inflict it on someone else because we would feel it just as severely, physical or emotional.
I don't even hear, I don't even see an immediate catch in that.
If we had empathy and felt what others felt when we hurt them.
When we hurt them.
unidentified
But without knowing what their thoughts were or being able to read their minds, just feeling the painful, emotional or physical, if we're beating the crap on the radio.
