My Theodicy Continued

In order for God, the omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent creator and sustainer of the world, to create a world in which finite agency, and therefore, humanity can exist, God had to create a world in which God's consciousness could only grow so big. That is, at a certain point, God's consciousness had to fracture into multiple gods which are possibly overlapping, simply infinite parts of the originally transfinite consciousness of God. This continues until the infinite parts of God's consciousness have to fracture into infinite sets of finite parts of God's consciousness. Finite agents, finite parts of God's consciousness, are persons.

I also believe that a person can grow into a god.
