I agree completely. God has never said to take Him seriously, only those who worship Him has. Besides, anyone who knows their own mind knows the mind of God.

Like any belief in a higher power, I have no real way to justify it. I have only an idea that sprang into my head one day, that seemed to make perfect sense to me.
One of the few things found in the Bible that I believe is that God created man in His own image. So, if you believe this, then we are created as reflections of God, we can know the mind of God, because our own mind's are God's.
I believe that our whole reason for being here is to learn exactly how to think like God (or the Goddess, or Ali, or Zeus, or whatever. To me they're all the same entity).
I know that this is by no means a definite answer, you asked for justification, and all I could give was an explanation, but I hope that it helped to see where I am coming from. Man is superior to the stars if he lives in the power of superior wisdom. Such a person, being master over heaven and earth by means of will, is a magus. And magic is not sorcery, but supreme will.
