Coberst, you say:
God is the answer that most people choose. The fact that most humans are guided either by the God of Christianity or the God of Islam or the Jewish God seems to verify that as a fact.
We began to have serious problems with this, as we humans began to encroach upon the territory of the Gods.
Now, we have to add to the mix the Godhood to which we humans aspire.
Coberst, et al: There is nothing other that our will to prevent us from being one with GOD.
Read John 10:22-39. Then read John 17:20-26--preferably in a modern version like for example.

========================================
John 17:20-26 (New Living Translation)
20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.
21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
22 “I have given them
the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. 23 I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. 24 Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!
25 “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. 26 I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
===============================================
Now tell us your interpretation of this.
BTW, at the formation of the United Church of Canada (UCC), June 10, 1925, John 17:21 became the motto of the church. Later, it was emblazoned on it's crest--of the UCC.
