Alas, what we have here from the Mormon side of things is evidence of the condition of man which is rooted in autonomy and the desire to be a god. It's based on a false premise regarding man's purpose. DOF, your claim that we can't understand that we are literal children of God is really misrepresenting what we believe, and this misrepresentation is the cause of your perceptions. I think you are bringing this in from the other thread that addressed the topic of becoming sons of God.

Grace and Peace!
