Here's how I see it - Everyone on earth has a father and mother. Maybe that father or mother or both did not claim you or something, but everyone still has a dad and mom. In a perfect world little boys and girls want to grow up and be like their dad and mom. It's the same with Heavenly Father and all of us. I don't want to become a "god." I want to become like my Heavenly Father. It may not sound like a big difference to you but it's a big difference to me. God is not my Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father is my Father and God and I want to be like him because I love him, need him, want to be with him, and respect him. I also mean no disrespect to Heavenly Father when I say "God is not my Heavenly Father." Yes, He's God but He's more than that to me - He's my Father who I want to come closer to every day I'm on this earth.

So, what's wrong with me wanting to be like my Heavenly Father if I want to be like him out of love and respect? Nothing.
