A Proposal For Consideration.

[sophiaserpentia]

1. The idea that God is fundamentally and eternally superior to and separate from humankind, will inherently and inevitably lend support to the concept of fundamental superiorities within humankind, particularly those along the lines of gender, race, and economic status.

2. Furthermore, this idea will inherently and inevitably lend rhetorical justification for the use of violence as an acceptable means of promoting an agenda labeled as "holy."

Well, I do also see collective human (or intelligent, maybe) consciousness as a possible sort of "god". But I see it more as then the individual being a part of the whole and not separate from the whole, as much as the individual may experience oneself as singular.
