role reversal




When God becomes (subordinate and) humanlike
..and humans become gods (in our expectations of them)
roles are reversed
...dangerously
And we enjoy watching others (those we don't love) fall
.......off their pedestals
We become disappointed in those we love (those we do love)
.....when we discover they're human
and when God does things that our human mind can't understand
we become god....
.........only to fall off that pedestal
as others laugh
..and prepare to take our place...
