In numb glee I suspect you wouldn’t act at all, or have preferences in any meaningful sense.
From a very scattered and informal study of the modern concept of the Christian god, it seems to me that He’s up to something like this:
1) Fabricate or otherwise acquire a large batch of souls for some unknown larger purpose.
2) Realize the manufacturing process may be flawed or contaminated somehow.
3) Set up a procedurally-generated test environment (aka observable reality) for the souls, complete with self-replicating interface shells (aka human bodies).
4) Set up “good enough,” “repairable,” and “reject” bins, labeled heaven, purgatory, and hell respectively; souls in the first and third bins get put into stasis by what amounts for all practical purposes to sensory deprivation. Sit back and watch the test process run.
5) Double-check the specs for the unknown larger purpose, and pass/fail rate for the already-sorted souls, realize that tolerances have been set way too strict. Possibly also some sort of problem with other gods sneaking in and stealing the goods? Unclear.
6) Set up a temporary avatar in the test environment (aka Jesus) to announce the new, lower standard, since it’s qualitatively rather than quantitatively different, and yet-unsorted souls can partially reconfigure themselves to adapt.
7) Eventually, full batch will be incarnated and test environment will go through an elaborate self-destruct sequence.
