That is to say, God is man raised to a higher power. •\tMan is the root, the square root, of God. •\tWe believe in the ideal (truth, wisdom, justice, honor, integrity, selflessness, sacrifice, compassion, goodness) and God is the name we give to that ideal. •\tWhat else is God but a heuristic for what we want to do with our lives? •\tThe worship of God is the worship of perfection. The perfection of space: infinity. The perfection of time: eternity. The perfection of power: omnipotence. The perfection of knowledge: omniscience. The perfection of behavior: virtue. •\tSince the Fall, falling is what we've learned to do. •\tWe are blemished perfections. •\tMan is the asymptote of what he predicates God to be. from \"Getting Godless\" in The Lice of Christ (MadHat Press 2014).”",
