"...sacrificing intellectual integrity is a finite cost, compared to (possible) infinite rewards."
Unless God punishes people infinitely for sacrificing their intellectual integrity. Which I think would be cool, don't you? I'm sorry, you plagiarized that synthesis paper -- ZAP! -- straight to hell!
OK, maybe not.
Also, I think you are adding an extra pronoun to God every time, which makes me curious about where you'll go next. You'll have to break new ground in pronouns, unless of course you slip into first person, which would be worrisome. Or make up gender-neutral pronouns. I think "sie" and "zie" are the most common GNPs out there, but when the GNP-gung-ho community can't agree on a standard, I think they're a long way from taking the world by storm with gender-neutrality.
Talk about a non-value-added post. I think it's past my bedtime.
