    I would actually avoid doing much of anything. With that much power, I would be too afraid I would mess up and end up unintentionally doing more harm than good.

    I would make sure no one on earth went hungry that day, though.

    Knock on everyone's door who claims to be speaking for Me. I'd just like to sit down, have a nice cup of tea with them and find out just who gave them that permission. I wouldn't smite them afterwards, I would just let them in on the sorrow, and the heartache and the suffering they have inflicted on their fellow man. I would GIVE them those; make them FEEL those.

    I think that would be enough.

    1) Change the length of a day - I'm a selfish bastard ;)

    2) Tell the overzealous of ALL faiths to chill the f*** out! Next one to kill or oppress anybody and use my name as an excuse gets tossed into someplace that makes Hell look like Club Med while their eternal torment is broadcast all over the world as a deterrent.

    3) Redistribute the wealth of the world more evenly. I am not a Communist, but seeing entertainers tossing vast sums of money away frivolously while so many people in the world can't even afford half a meal for one of their children is immoral.

    4) Put a Skyline R34 Nur Edition in my driveway with my name on the registration - Again, I'm selfish. Besides, many high-powered people have a generous separation compensation package or retirement plan. (Skylines cost less than you think, so this doesn't violate #3 above.)

    1.) Abolish organized religion.
    2.) End genocide.
    3.) Cure world hunger.
    4.) Cure AIDS (starting in Africa).
    5.) Make everyone a single race just to end the ongoing stupidity about it.
    6.) End discrimination on any grounds.
    7.) Zap several hundred with lightning (Bin Laden, Taliban, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, anyone claiming to speak for me).
    8.) Fix the environment.
    9.) Straighten out the Middle East.
    10.) Institute universal education and suffrage.

    Then, I'd take a break and ponder my next move.

    If I were God there would be no explicit sex on T.V.
    Like little Opie eating pie when he made it with Aunt Bea

    If I were God thou shall not worship false Billy Idols
    And thou shall add the Book Of Flavor Flav to the Bible
    Thou shall make fun of Hindus thou shall not make a "Speed 2"
    If I were God that's what I'd do Heavens no

    Hell yeah
    If I were God I'd get a bunch of slaves to do everything
    Norwegian lesbians that feed me grapes and know how to sing

    If I were God thou shall not wear tube socks with Flip-Flops
    Thou shall sit and thou shall spin thou shall even wife swap
    Thou shall resist the Olsen Twins, thou shall not cut "Footloose"
    If I were God that's what I'd do, Heavens no

    Hell yeah
    And when they nail my pimpled ass to the cross
    I'll tell them I found Jesus that should throw them off
    He goes by the name (HEY-ZEUS) and steals hubcaps from cars
    Oh Jesus can I borrow your crowbar?
    To pry these God damn nails out they're beginning to hurt
    Crucified and all I got was this lousy T-shirt
    "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" I'll sing as I'm flogged
    Yeah that's what I would do if I were God
    So vote for me for Savior and you'll go to Heaven
    Your lame duck Lord is like Kevin Spacey in "Seven"
    With creepy threats of H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick
    You just can't teach an old God new tricks
    But would I be a good Messiah with my low self-esteem?
    If I don't believe in myself would that be blasphemy?
    Just sport some crummy "holier than thou" facade
    Yeah that's what I would do if I were God

    If I were god for a day, I'd have a lot of explaining to do:

    First, to any hurting from the death of a loved one, death does not happen because I am mean, mad, or capricious. These bio-chemical machines that encase your soul get sick or broken and eventually stop working. This is natural law; it's nothing personal. And, I promise that when it is the natural time for your machine to quit, you're not done. There's much more.

    The answer to the age old question 'Am I my brother's keeper?' is Yes you are your brother's keeper. Even with the damage that you did to the Earth, there are resources and food a plenty. No one should go to bed hungry. No one should be homeless. The bounty of this planet is meant to be shared, not hoarded. Shame on you. It's not my job to redistribute; it's your free will opportunity to share.

    Third, people that kill in my name are very naughty. I have not sanctioned any war, and I am particularly repulsed by the idea of a holy war. I do not reward these types of behaviors. In case you haven't noticed yet, all of you are basically the same make and model of vehicle. There are very superficial differences. Therefore, you are all basically equal in basic human rights, dignity, and opportunity. No one is to own another person. For further clarification, refer to my Second Point.

    Fourth, just as you are all equal, each of you is a singularly unique individual and has an important role to fill here. Therefore, you must strive to be the best you can be in both your talent and in sharing your talent with others.

    Fifth, understand you may make mistakes or even fail. Mistakes and failures are opportunities to expand your perception. Use the opportunity and move on. Do not get stuck.

    Sixth, because of your individuality, you will disagree with others and may even come to dislike them. It's ok to feel this way, but you must accord the other basic human rights and dignity and opportunity.

    Seventh, because you are a corporate entity too, the group has the obligation to contain and to control those spiritually or psychologically damaged persons who seek to hurt themselves or others.

    Finally, I could wave my hand and fix all of the things that are broken on your planet or within yourselves. But, if I did so, you would not grow into your best you fulfilling your potential. Rather, I will leave it to you. You have everything you need right here to realize heaven on earth including my blessing and love.

    Then, I would blow a kiss and caress the air. Every single person would feel the kiss and the caress physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. And, they would remember it for the rest of their lives.

    Well, try acting like a good angel in the heart of any big city's ghetto and compelled to do the right thing, no matter what. Even with supernatural power, as God for a day, I would still be compelled to do the right thing--demonstrate righteousness. Because of free will, I would be obligated to allow human beings to experience the consequences for the choices they made, but yet play a role in their lives daily--generally called "grace" and "mercy".

    I love AntigoneRising's answer to this, but I would add to it:

    1. If I'm god, presumably I have the power to be sure that no more cats and dogs and horses are born than will have good homes. And I will fix it so that people do not WANT exotic pets, and will WANT to leave them and preserve them in the jungles / deserts / oceans / savannahs where they belong.

    2. If I'm god, presumably I have the power to be sure that no more CHILDREN are born than will have good homes with willing parents.

    3. If I'm god, then I want animals to stop being slaughtered in pain for our meat. (Maybe I'll decide to make new vegetables that taste like steak and pork chops). And while I'm at it, I'd like any animal killed by other animals for food to die RIGHT AWAY (to avoid zebras being eaten by lions while still alive; that has always seemed pretty harsh to me).

    4. If I'm god, I am going to fix humanity so that NO drug is addictive.

    5. If I'm god, I'm going to fix it so that leaders (military, political, religious) turn bright orange when they are lying. (This won't help with the crazies who do not really KNOW that they are lying, but it will help with the vast majority who DO).

    Okay, all that plus all Antigone said. :) This "god" is tired! :)
