     %PRETEND PLAY GOD KNOW GOOD EVIL JUDGE CONDEMN+941016
%HUMBLY WALK PRESENCE JUSTICE MERCY ARROGANT ADDICT 941016

     Often people presumptuously take on the duties of God
and  assume  that  they have the powers of  God:    making
judgments  of  whether  people are  good  people  or  evil
people.   They have eaten of the Tree of the Knowledge  of
Good and Evil in violation of the first commandment of God
in the Garden of Eden.   Pretending to be like God entails
arrogance, conceit and so an utter lack of humility.  Such
pretense  is  dishonest  in the  extreme,   and  leads  to
personal  and   communal  disintegration  and   alienation
through attempts to control that which is not  for  humans
to control. Rebellion against human finitude does not make
humans like God,  for such dishonest rebellion is  not the
key  to  transcendence of human limitations.    Pretending
not to be limited, does not lead to the  transcendence  of
limitations.
