Well of course I’m not! But do I sometimes act like I am? When things don’t go my way, when my loved ones hurt… why do I get frustrated, and sometimes even angry? Because I‘m faced with the reality that I’m not God! I’m not fully in control as I thought I was… or as I would like to be. And I face the very same ugly pride monster that brought about the fall of Satan himself! The very same ugly pride monster than Satan then used with Adam and Eve… “you will be like God!”
We have trouble accepting the fact that we are dependent creatures. We are not the Creator. And we have accepted the lie that this is very negative. We make God out to be some narcissistic figure who created humans to enslave them and so we are always seeking ways to do away with “the chains” as Rousseau would say.
