Not all gods from all religions create things or are worshiped for creation.

And there are many gods that are just there because people appreciate them in some way. And I'm sure humans have created many things that were never there in the first place. I'm sure there were no gods who created computers, cars, planes and such. These are the result of ideas that came out from 'nothing'.

In the traditional sense, "god" is simply a being that can do things humans can't do.... except that over time the humans are catching up.

I would love to possess immortality. I love this world, human beings, and having my consciousness too much to part with any of them. I would eventually get over the consistent deaths of friends and loved ones, I think. Also, if I was immortal, there's a possibility that there would be at least one other immortal person in the world. So in that situation, I could find them and have an immortality buddy. Otherwise, I'd eventually cope with the pain. I'd rather have to watch people I care about grow old and die, meet new people, and have the cycle repeat over and over again than be all alone in a void of nothingness or something like that.

I mean, that can't happen unless you talk about magic. In which case it's more than just fictitious, but artificial and outrageous. Why wouldn't an immortal have immortal children?

Immortality and any similar long-life treatment would never be singular isolated events. It simply can't occur. As I said earlier, it is ridiculous to blame immortality that you watch your loved ones die; it is Mortality that's killing them, so you should blame Death instead. The world always needs more Life.

If I was immortal I probably would do things I wouldn't do now. I know I'd be a totally differeny person than I am now I'd probably be more than one person too so basically I could live however I'd want with no shame. eventually though im sure I'd get bored, i mean I get bored so easily either way.
Im glad Im not immortal though

Why be an immortal if you don't want to see the people you love die as time past? A selfish Immortal: Who cares?! Have fun, fun, fun!!! An optimistic Immortal: I could always keep the happy memories in my heart and show more people the value of life... *ugh A regretable Immortal: I would be happier to die with the person I love than see them dying in front of me. |

Depending on the extent and type of immortality, it may solve lots of problems.
If you have the 'basic' immortality where you can't die because you don't grow old, then people won't worry about age and age related illnesses. If you can't get hurt or get diseases, you have no need to worry about health. If you are literally invincible, you can solve everything above as well as living space issues since you can literally live anywhere. If you don't need to breathe you can even live in space. If you don't need to eat, then you save tons of money, won't get fat, don't need to worry about food health problems. Apply those to the entire human race and you can solve population issues, starvation and maybe even prevent wars since there's no way to kill each other and there's no need to fight for land for farming or living space.

They can have as many children as they want, when and where they like and those children and mothers won't die during childbirth.
No aging population, no lack of living space since people can even live inside a volcano if they want to.

Umm...that's not the God's "creating" ability I was talking about. If I take your example, then can a human create computer, cars, planes out of thin air?

People can live in the polar icecaps then, not just great for computers but free refrigeration as well lol.
Immortality also prevents STDs. EDIT: Depending on how thin you want the air to be, it might just be possible in the future.

Seeing how this is purely a fictional thread, immortals might acquire technology so far out in the future, evolve the human race into non physical forms and be able to manipulate space-time, energy and matter.
Maybe become like the Q from Star Trek, Data Entities in Haruhi etc., super evolved beings that have mastery over the universe.
