If you were God, omnipotent in every respect, would you be proud of what you've created?

I'm not and I'm happy with it.

Not really. I guess I should have studied more so not to have had to cheat on the finals when I was in God College. I can't even get the atheists to believe in me.

I was only referring to the fact that I'm not God. Pride gets in the way of humility - and there is the adage that goes something like 'The good things one must seek, the bad come uninvited.' God in the Old Testament says "I am a proud and jealous God." But in the New Testament we see His humility. There is a passage in the epistles where believers can "take pride", but that does not necessarily mean one is proud. If there is a pool of pride on which to drink, that may not be the best drink because St. Thomas Aquinas so aptly expounded on the 'sin of pride' committed by the fallen angel(s). I have found that even after the Judgement into the Paradise, God still remains omnipotent, still proud, jealous and humble, because He has been all these things and much more. It is beauty and joy enough to inherit the earth as Jesus spoke in the beatitudes. Sometimes I have thought I am God in contemplation, but then comes the thought that I'm not, I was just imagining. Creation is awesome!
