6. I've been piecing together a "Religion for Atheists" these last few years.

God's home is not 'in' anything.

We live in God.

We are God... or at least, we will be.

Then after that... linear time becomes irrelevant.

Therefore we are already God.


You see, the Human race has only one of two absolute destinies;

1) Oblivion.

This is to say that either we will find a way to kill ourselves, or eventually devolve into an apathetic and unambitious race... until, ultimately, we become extinct.

-or-

2) Divinity.

As is our habit, we will continue to advance our knowledge. In order to advance our knowledge, we will advance our intellect, our technology, and our physical sphere. Given that such progress can only suffer minor setbacks (for examples of major setbacks, see option '1'), there is no question that we will achieve mastery of time, space, and consciousness... we become 'God'.
After that point - it's all academic... no really.

Now about these people who want us to go for option '1'....
