I guess I'm not calling for a new God. I'm calling for No God. I believe in the existence of God...but I believe that God should not exist.
Atheistic Spirituality: Orthodoxymoron or Wave of the Future?
Thou shalt have No Gods. This is a new thought for me...and I am not dogmatic(godmatic?)...not yet anyway.
Hello Lucifer. Why don't we just call the whole thing off...and go and get drunk? I'll buy.

Sounds to me like you are talking about the dualistic God vs. Satan illusion.
Yet, God is a sun and it shines on both the just and the unjust.
We are all children of the infinite, some of us are just much more trapped in the illusion of separation than others.
I agree, that any being who feels separated from the whole, power will always corrupt absolutely eventually. That is why we are so limited in our apparent creative powers right now. Because we are operating under the illusion that we are separate from all life, we think that we are the ego. Yet the ego is the collective illusions we're separated from the Now, separated from Being and separated from the rest of life.
It is not that power corrupts absolutely the conscious Self, who we really are, it is the power corrupts when we are operating under the illusion that we are separate from the source and separate from others.
When we see the reality that all life is an extension of the same being that we also are an extension of clearly, and give up our illusions of separation, our human ego, then power no longer corrupts. We use our power to increase ourSelves, and we see the truth, that we are One with all life rather than separate from it. So we no longer would misuse our power to raise ourselves above others, instead we will use our power to raise up all life because we know that we are in effect raising ourselves up that way!
The problem is not power, power is a divine flame, the problem is ego. When we have surrendered our sense of separation, our ego, we will be reborn as Jesus was reborn and we will be the Living Christ, one with the infinite consciousness and we will use our divine talents and inner power to raise this planet back up into a Golden Age greater than any ever recorded in Akasha!
Hip Hip Hooray for surrendering the Ego and Being the Christ and saving the world in Oneness.
