I don't really care to talk about religion on those terms. Sorry. It's a lot bigger than that. As Olaf Stapleton said in The Starmaker, eventually you will get a consciousness of the whole planet and then of the stars and finally the universe. When you get the consciousness of the universe then and then only will they face the Starmaker and then the Starmaker will face the universal mind and wonder whether it should start over and allow it to grow or abolish it completely.

And for the record, I have posted one more than one occasion that I believe that ethical behavior is derived from human experience, and that the most ethical people behave ethically regardless of whether there is or isn't a God.
