Is the goal of religion then to make men out of gods?

the goal of technology is to keep me lazy

[Nai_Calus]

I disagree. I am not dependent on technology for my power.

It does have its uses, though, and I have been known to use it to augment my power from time to time.

Shin, you should read Roger Zelazny's sf/f book Lord of Light. It's about humans who use technology to set themselves up as deities/aspects borrowed from Hinduism and a fake Buddha dude who opposes them. Pretty cool.
