If there is no god, should we make our own?

Exactly what it says in the title. How this would be implemented would be through a highly intelligent closed-system computer system that would dictate the morals and ethics of human society. It could not be externally tampered with. Would you welcome such a being, or would you reject it? Explain why.

    • But the morals of the developers of the machine would be what the machine ultimately decides. It wouldn't work.

          • Reject it. Creating a god is asking to be enslaved. As the saying goes I'd rather be free and cold than warm and in chains.
