God only absorbs the best and the brightest.
The Borg are a collection of different species in the Star Trek universe who have been given a variety of cybernetic implants and attachments that effectively force them to participate in a group consciousness, or “hive mind.” The Borg capture the uninitiated and convert them to Borg through a process called “assimilation.” The Borg plan to convert the entire universe, thereby achieving perfection.
From the Book of Revelation we learn this is God’s ultimate goal with one major difference. God doesn’t assimilate just anyone. He is very selective and only chooses those that “overcome.” When Christ comes again everyone will be destroyed. However, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white; for they are worthy” (Revelation 3:5). Also, “He that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and the name of the city of God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will write upon him my new name” (Revelation 3:12).
Ok, so those that “overcome” will get white clothes and will have Christ’s new name written on their foreheads. Here’s the best part, “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my father in his throne” (Revelation 3:21). Yes, even as Christ “overcame” and is one with the Father (sharing a throne), the mortals that “overcome” will become one with Christ (sharing a throne).
It’s pretty clear from all this that God functions like the Borg, assimilating people that “overcome” and destroying the rest. Do you suppose God is also planning to convert the entire universe in an attempt to achieve perfection?
Moral: Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated, or you will be destroyed.
