Seriously, no supernatural beliefs? I agree that to intellectual dissonance that way leads. [With voice of Yoda you should imagine it read.]
Earlier I asked what "your apotheosis" referred to. Do you feel that you yourself are divine, not such a horrible idea provided you generalize that democratically I suppose.

I have not found anyone that I would label as divine and that would include me.
In Gnostic Christian terms, I would accept the label of Parfait but that designation does not show on which rung of Jacob's ladder I am on and does not mean that I have reached the top. That is why I would use Parfait WIP in modern language.

Holy is as holy says and does and I am a WIP towards that.
A holy man would likely suffer fools better than I do at present. I have reduced my net bully side quite a bit though.
My passions are hard to control all the time.

You will be mocked for this but I personally think it is better theology to seek to follow Jesus in the sense of transforming your own life than it is to pine for the opportunity to lick God's balls.
I agree but there are more than one Jesus that speaks to us through scriptures and I follow the way this one teaches. You will note that the church never quotes this one as they know that he preaches for freedom and not the slavery that Christianity preaches for.
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
