That's really false ... mirror --- reality check ?
One simple difference for Christianity ... if you go the way of Jesus Christ --- you won't have any self righteousness (( works - evolution )) left !
I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly, f.Christian. On the one hand, self-righteousness in every sense is something that Christianity abhors. On the other hand, I don't think Christianity requires that we forget that we are selves (souls), and created as selves to boot.
"God loves variety" is the main takeaway I get from being a participant and observer of His Created Reality. Would He create us as we are -- individual human souls -- if what He putatively wanted us to do was expunge our human individuality (i.e., erase His creative work), just to please Him?
Perhaps this is so. Though personally I doubt it, the fact remains none of us humans has any idea of, or access to, God's purposes or reasons. So I don't think there can be a final or definitive [human] answer to this question.
IMHO, to say as much is not in any way to undermine the Mystical Body of Christ, the holy church, the communion of Christ's disciples of all times and places. God's salvation was by means of Personal sacrifice, suffered and actualized "in living color" by Person. It was not accomplished by some kind of generic, anonymous, universal "Force."
If God would like us to be like Himself, then do you imagine He would prefer to contemplate his creature, Man, as a human puddle, than as a community of individual men who love Him, and are united in the spirit of friendship because of their love for Him?
