Top 10 Worst Things to Be the God or Goddess Of
Admit it, everyone would love to be a god. You could snap your fingers and have all your problems go away, wriggle your toes, and cause all the people in Alaska to exuberantly dance the conga. The possibilities would be endless.
In many cultures that believe in multiple gods, such as the Greeks, Norse, and Egyptians, each particular god is typically associated with one specific thing, or sometimes two, three, four, or even thirty. It seems crazy to think there could be downsides to being a god. But, unfortunately, there are plenty of things very few people would want to be the god of.
So, here are the top ten worst things to be the god of. Be creative, and if there's something that isn't currently on the list, by all means, add it. Please note that when I use the word god on this list, I'm not excluding or forgetting the word goddess. It's just quicker to write the one word.

Death
This may seem appealing at first. That guy who owed you $10? Bang! Dead. The person who bullied you in school? Bang! Dead!
I mean, this is a pretty big thing to brag about on a date. "Oh, by the way, I'm the god of death!" Unfortunately, there are some big setbacks. While you could probably do all of that, you would need to be fair, impartial, and equal as the god of death. You might have a gloomy or cruel personality.
I'm sure Thanatos wouldn't be too happy with you moving in on his territory. You may get depressed, ending all these wonderful lives, and you might scare or drive your loved ones away.
I would only want to kill a few people, so I would be terrible at being the god of death. I'd only kill people who are already fairly old and are terrible people, so there aren't many I would kill.
But hey, at least I would get to kill terrorists or horrible presidents (not naming anyone, cough, cough).
-
Bad Breath
I don't even want to imagine what this god's breath would smell like, or whether there is a real god of this.
Not exactly a deity to be proud of becoming.
-
Atheism
This is my personal favorite on the list. How can you be the god of there being no gods? So ironic. Whoever added this is super cool.
This is hilariously awesome! Whoever put this on here, please tell me, because this is just so perfect. It would suck to be this.
I'm pretty sure if there was a god that controlled there being no gods, the world would explode. So yeah, that would totally suck.
-
Misery
If there is a god out there, he or she is probably the god of misery. There are good things too, but I'd like for the misery in the world to disappear.
Again, there are gods for this, namely Akhlys (Akhlys? Aklys? Why do they make these names so hard to spell) from Greek mythology. It's pretty obvious why this would suck. You can't feel any emotion but misery. You'll ruin lives, relationships, and other great things whether you want to or not.
Your personality and features will probably be based on what you're the god of, so you will probably spend most of your time wailing with gloom and looking like a cooler full of acid spilled on your head.
-
Divorce
It's actually much more sad than other people joking about it on here. I succumbed to depression after getting divorced and never got happy until recently. I'm still single.
I hate this. It shouldn't exist. You get a nice fine woman, settle down, and nothing else happens! That's all there is to it.
Pretty obvious why this wouldn't be enjoyable. But then again, maybe you would enjoy it!
-
Acne
I put this on here just because, as I am assuming that your personality and appearance reflect your specialty, you would be so plagued with acne being immortal wouldn't really make up for it. And this would also be pretty embarrassing.
It's disgusting, disfiguring, painful, weird, and pointless. Just like the god of this.
I'd be hideous. As in, more than I am already.
-
Poop
-
Insomnia
I swear, if there is a god of this, I want to go punch him in his sleepy face, and I'm sure I'm not alone. That just reinforces the fact that nobody would want to be the god of this.
Oh, this is the worst. I look like a sleep-deprived seal after never falling asleep. Stupid insomnia sucks!
This sucks so much. As a god of this, you would never sleep. They say your brain needs sleep and dreams to survive.
-
Racism
This is definitely the worst. My top three would be this, then atheism, then suicide. Racism is so bad that it should be against the law for this to be in 41st. It is an outrageous fact that it isn't even top ten.
Racism isn't necessary. All it does is destroy. Nothing good comes from it. Black lives matter, white lives matter - who cares what your appearance is?
Whoops, I forgot this on my original top ten. Thanks to whoever put it on here. This would certainly be terrible.
-
War
I would hate to be the god of war. You would be mean and like death and battles. You would be super powerful, though.
I guess you will be cool, but you will be mean and like bloody battles.
I hate war. My daddy went to Afghanistan and got killed. I cry about it every day.

Bad Hair Days

Pandemics
I'm pretty sure that, given the present circumstances, all the other gods would have already zapped you into a grease spot, and for obvious reasons. Who would want to be the cause of this devastating situation?
Given the present circumstances, this should be top two. Not fifth. Why is it behind bad breath?
I can imagine you talking to the Olympian council. "My report on the - cough cough wheeze - pandemic is - cough cough cough."
-
Flatulence
-
Cancer
Cancer is pretty pointless. It's worse than COVID-19 because it's more fatal to the healthy and unhealthy, the young and elderly. You know, I'm surprised COVID isn't on here, but pandemics is, I guess, so whatever.
Cancer sucks. I hope to invent a cure for it someday, but I'm not sure if it is possible.
I hate cancer. I lost all three of my brothers and my mother to it.

Suicide
Oh, this is the worst. It and racism should be much higher than any others on this list, even death.
Suicide is a terrible thing that shouldn't exist. If you're contemplating suicide, don't do it!
Really bad. One of my relatives and two of my friends died of this, and I almost did before someone saved me. It's a terrible experience.

Mosquitos
The word "mosquito" comes from Spanish and means "little fly." Mosquitoes are small flying insects known for transmitting numerous infectious diseases. These include malaria, yellow fever, chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, and Zika virus, making mosquitoes one of the deadliest groups... read more
Get it higher than 50! Why are they so low? They are number one by a large amount on most annoying things lists, so they should be number one here too.
These are terrible. I absolutely detest them. They are horrible. Go die, mosquitos.

Teeth
-
Beer
You would spend most of the time passed out drunk or wobbling around barfing everywhere, because as a god, your personality usually reflects your specialty.
-
AIDS

Fortnite
Why does everybody like Fortnite?
1. All you do is shoot people.
2. You can get called cuss words or just be bullied.
3. It's an anger game, and you get angry a lot. Who wants to be angry?
4. Minecraft is much better. You can still fight, there are servers and mods there with guns, you can actually build, unlike that disgrace of a Creative mode on Fortnite, and the chat covers up cuss words.
5. Fortnite just plain sucks.
We play Fortnite! We play Fortnite! All those stupid kids in Pumba videos.
I really don't like Fortnite, but it's probably because I just suck at it.

Hatred

Internet Challenges
These all suck, especially the fire one and the Tide Pod one. People have died because of them.
These are fun to watch, but people have died from them, though?
You ever heard of Tide Pods?
-
TikTok
Oh yeah, I would hate that.
The girls - like what? The people I know have been brainwashed by this app.
Help before it becomes a zombie apocalypse.
That would be horrible, but it beats being the God of 4chan, Rule 34, or PHub.
TikTok is trash. People are mad on it!
