If we were to see Him there would be "NO CHOICE" like Robots! And like the Angels...we would either worship Him, or want to take what He has!
Lucifer wanted to "be" God! When cast into Hell, the angel Micheal said: "Who is like God?"
You, and me have the ability to be like GOD! But it has to be attained, NOT given to us for no other reason than being here, or taken from Him.
HUMAN is the vehicle. But there is/was a price for both us and God!
So, god is constrained by outside rules rendering him less than omnipotent. Now that we have that out in the open, do you have any proof that we are not robots?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
