In my reasoning, faith applies to me here and now, which is why I have little interest in Heaven and Hell, as those are comments on my eternal state. What applies to me now is of greatest importance, and the positivity of aiming to be like God is what convinces me to have faith.I never really talked about my faith... I'm honestly not much of a "faith" kind of guy, by the definition christians and atheists use... I don't believe in "blind" faith.
As to trying to be like God... as long as we are confined to the 3rd dimension, and have to use organic-based sensory to interact with our environment... Trying to be like God is like a gecko trying to sell car insurance.
Oh... Wait.

I always thought Christians claimed that they were "not better than anybody else" and used phrases like "but for the grace of God, there go I".Why the attitude? I'm just asking you questions to try to understand how your world view is logical. Try not to pre judge
