HP: "Have you been assimilated into the Borg hive?.."

Kosta: "have you taken your medication today? Use English in correspondence. It goes a long way."

It's a Star Trek TNG reference (mostly). Truth be told, I happen to be a total Star Trek "geek". :) Anyway, in a recent post Hosepipe drew a comparison from your view that God does not make choices to the fictional alien race called "Borg". I think it is essentially correct. The individual humanoid Borg drones have zero individuality of their own, their race operates solely by the directive of the hive "mind", sort of like insects, but much more sophisticated. :) Anyway, as fascinating as I am sure this is to you :), the point is that automatons without choice are not sovereign. You are describing to us a God without choice. This challenges God's sovereignty.
