we get to float about the clouds of Heaven basking within his holy light or end up on some Earthly Amish style paradise.\u00a0 Most of the religions ultimately preach that our future lies in the stagnation of a mindlessly boring paradise where God is the perpetual King over us, or the Father who won&#8217;t let his children grow up.\u00a0 That makes us mindless slave like creations rather than real children of God.<\/p>\n<p>If God is indeed good, and cares about us then he would want us to grow up, and at least be somewhere near his equals.\u00a0 Perhaps this isn&#8217;t possible in actual power, especially if we&#8217;re talking about the original eternal God that composes all the <a href=\"http:\/\/godhoodism.com\/godhood-definitions.htm\">Macroverse<\/a>.\u00a0 However this should be the case if we&#8217;re talking about a God of our <a href=\"http:\/\/godhoodism.com\/godhood-definitions.htm\">Omniverse<\/a> who may have once been a biological being such as ourselves who ascended to Godhood.\u00a0 True children of God would indeed grow from adulthood to Godhood in death by the creation of a powerful intellect through the near infinite lives we&#8217;ve led in the near infinite parallel Universes of this Multiverse, and perhaps in others as well.\u00a0 The wealth of knowledge, and experiences would indeed prepare us\u00a0to be Gods, and create our own Universes, and sentient beings.<\/p>\n<p>Sure the idea of a perfect paradise with a big God figure protecting us is reassuring but it would get monotonous, and would be unfulfilling to live out eternity that way.\u00a0 After a\u00a0thousand years or less\u00a0you&#8217;d want something more.\u00a0 In the same way a child in their late teens kept from growing up by overprotective parents would rightly rebel.\u00a0 If we are more than entertaining creations of God then we would be afforded the right to grow into Gods just as our Heavenly Father has.\u00a0 Certainly this life, and all other lives we&#8217;ve led would be pointless if we are not allowed to ascend to something greater, and to follow our fundamental right of free will as humans, and sentient beings in this Universe.\u00a0 So if goodness ultimately rules over our reality then our ascension to Godhood is virtually assured if we are judged to be good in the majority of our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under most of the worlds religions we&#8217;re pawns of God here to follow his rules, or do his Earthly bidding.\u00a0 If we&#8217;re good
