Good post Leonidis,opens up the potential for a quite productive thread. I'll probably post more later, as I was considering a similar one.
Just for now, I will also propose another similar question . What is God?'
"We gain more and more knowledge and with the application of this knowledge we, as a collective, become godlike, for humanity is the pinnacle that deserves the veneration that we apply to our imaginary gods."
We have God stuff in us,and I like to think that the mission of JesusThe Christ,was to teach a small group of disciples a way to raise ourselves up to a level of consciousness to connect with The Father,an aspect of the vast source of all there is. ie, as you have pointed out we are evolving toward a higher level. I still choose to believe this, despite all the atavistic savagery in the past and also the present.
