I’m explaining the perspective of the story, and that assumes God exists and things work in this way.
Then what is gross is humanity claiming ownership of what doesn’t belong to it; there’s no surrender, just recognition of how things are.
I do know He exists, because He has shown it to me.
He shows Himself in between relationships, but there’s no experiment that can induce it, so there’s no “proof”.
And it’s not a passive “surrender” of autonomy, He explicitly tells to share His gifts, so if I have wealth, I will share it with those that don’t;
if I have knowledge, I will teach;
if I have strength, I will carry those who don’t;
if I have food, I will feed the hungry;
if I have intelligence, I will use it to create things to help others.
It’s gross because you are surrendering your autonomy to an entity that you cannot provide a single shred of evidence for existing.
