It is my belief that our creations were meant surpass us. If the gods did indeed create us does that mean we are somehow superior to them. Maybe it's an endless cycle. God hates immortality, God makes mortals, mortals hate mortality, overtime mortals evolve into godhood, than they find immortality is hell than make mortals that live short lives and the cycle goes on.
Why am I rambling? Don't know, don't care.
