Marwash is planning to kill people though. If I had a Death Note, I would never write someone's name down in it. I can rule the world without killing directly.

Well think of it this way guys. If a Death Note does exist, it proves that there's no Heaven or Hell. This discovery alone would cause a world wide panic since about every place in the world has a religion. The question that now remains is do I have the guts to do what can possibly cause the world to lose civility?

i understand what you're saying, but no where in the OP does it say you have to tell people about the Death Note... you could write names and still have people go on believing a divine entity is the source of it all. how exactly would you accomplish this?... through fear and intimidation? Would you tell people that, if they don't obey you, you will end their life?... wouldn't you have to eventually kill at least one person to prove that you have the power to back up your threat?

Well the OP is asking what I would do if I had it. Destroying faith in everyone is an option but it isn't something I ain't planning to put into fruition unless it became a last resort. It's just food for thought.
Not sure if I want to be en entity that governs a world through fear. It would make me feel like an @$$ and even though there's no right or wrong in the Death Note verse, I still have my standards.
Stop others from ruling the world, and using the other Death Notes.
Said work would make me a hero.

You wouldn't catch me. Not if it's easy enough to make someone else with a Death Note act out my plan, which it is.
