If this is right (and, of course, I accept atheists don't believe it is) then this opens up another way of thinking. Our identity becomes not dependent on our physical attributes; but exists in God's being and so can be reconstructed, 'resurrected' if you will, by and in God's will. So essentially what eventually matters most is not our consciousness, not our 'mind' (however we conceive that), but God's consciousness and mind. So long as God 'remembers', all will be well.You construct your god as a wonderful ball and chain.
And the being that utterly hates god? The clay that replies "Why hast thou made me thus?" The person that longs for release from the agony of existence - true freedom in natural default state, not your deity, but the eternal void of oblivion. What of that being?
All you theists know is monsters, not gods.
