(urth) started my second read of New Sun

[John Watkins]

It's heresy to say that man will "replace" God.

It would not be heresy to suggest that the purpose of divine grace is for
mankind to gradual become more like God.  In fact that is orthodoxy (there's
even a cool word for it, theosis, the process of becoming like God).  And
given infinite time and God's own infinitity, mankind will infinitely *divinize
*without reaching *divinity.*
