Sorry, I read the term "they" as a plural pronoun referring to those currently providing the service of "assuming the duties of the infinite" and, as such, thought you were referring to the current situation in which an amalgam of finite beings attempts to understand and apply the infinite's will for humanity as revealed by the course of human existence (including, of course, scientific discovery).
Preferring this flawed freedom to eternal and inevitable pet status of the diety you refer to by "they", I would certainly wish to revoke the contract of such a diety. As does orthodox christianity, I prefer my "governing deity" to promote free will, thank you.
