Take a step outside of peoples superstitious beliefs and remember that the people writing that had been fucked by one god king after another and ask yourself why they might think that a man becoming like a god would be a bad thing.
Do we really disagree? The underlying moral contention - which is what sacred narratives are about, is that it is imperative that some things not be possible for man, given our nature. Given what we have already been seen to have done. When we criticize the theists gods for acting like the picture of a psychotically powerful human being, we're expressing the same sentiment. That there's something wrong with that, that it would be bad for a person to be like a god, or..vv, for a god to be like a person.
Interesting perspective. Thank you.
