That's all anyone can do. And for what it's worth, I'm impressed you've actually given serious thought to ideas which aren't easy or popular.
Taking part in a philosophical and religious debate that is still active at over 1,600 years old is not nothing, so let's stop glibly calling it Jesus Fascism shall we?

They want it gone, but they know it doesn't work. People want God. They tried stamping it out in Soviet Russia and it just led to deeper faith.
So they have tried fomenting Reformations inside Catholicism (Vatican II), and in Islam ("Compassionate" Imams who are pro-LGBT and pro-feminist).
The CIA have played an enormous part in this, and Jay Dyer does a great job of deconstructing this. See his latest video:

And I'm not so naiive as to believe that political forces and agendas had no bearing on the various councils.
Today, there is a globalist push to force a new "Council of Nicaea" with the stated aim of instituting something called "Natural Theology" in place of the 3 problematic traditional Abrahamic relgions. These have caused too much trouble for those after globalist control and so institutional capture has been the in play for decades.

I never thought I would meet someone who still seriously engages with the Christological argument that began in the 4th century AD and resulted in the first church schism that created Oriental Orthodoxy.
No shade at all. My advice would still be the same; engage with Christological scholars from both the Eastern and Oriental traditions.
Godspeed.
@philosophy @rohrkrepierer
You have fundamentally misunderstood theosis and divinization. If you believe that even a single person within the Eastern church has achieved theosis then I strongly advise you to reach out to an Orthodox scholar to clarify your misunderstanding.
As it stands, you are speaking heresy. You cannot change my mind on this.

The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches are the true churches. Always have been.
@philosophy @rohrkrepierer
Makes more sense now in light of the Baptist thing. Personally, I consider Roman Catholicism and Protestantism Christian heresies.
You might like John Vervaeke's Meaning Crisis series. It's relevant that he also came from a Baptist background because it drove him deep into philosophy for much the same reasons as you.
Interestingly enough, his journey has all the signs of him making peace with Christianity through his recent conversations with an Orthodox bishop.

Ideally, the energy you have for wanting to understand these things would have been recognized by elders with the same broad interest. You would have been directed towards a path that allows you to explore those things in depth.
And if the result was you spending 20 years in a cave, I suspect that your revelations would include lots of gratitude, compassion for others, and love. For ourselves and the messes we make of everything.
Even though everyone is retarded.

> As soon as other people are involved, negotiations must occur and the will becomes involved. It's in silence that God is inevitably found.
This is the crux of the paradox.
Granted, monks in all faiths attest to the truth that the fastest & perhaps purest route to God is through silent asceticism.
And yet Monkhood is deeply social since it can only survive through others, can only be practised through negotiation with others.
And from this flows many things.
@philosophy @rohrkrepierer
That is what is called a social solution. And although Theosis has private applicability, it is accessed through a public interface. Call it Sangha if you really want, it doesn't matter.
Your contempt for pro-social religion, specifically Christianity, comes across as reflexive.
@philosophy @rohrkrepierer
The entire reason for Christianity's unparalleled global success has been that it is accessible, understandable and compatible with every level of cognition and all stations of life.
From the clinical idiot to the genius. Children, parents, ascetic monks, warriors.
Theosis is the answer and YOUR route is to monk it out. But the pro-social route in Orthodoxy is to onboard the concept from within families, learn through the Church and be supported in that journey.

Dude, I think your brain is made of scrambled eggs. Literally nothing you wrote makes any coherent sense.
Wipe the spittle off your chin and start again perhaps.
This time, ask yourself why every American buddhist you meet is also an equality-loving commie.

Orthodox Jews, Christians and Muslims all have a fasting calendar and encourage periods of self-denial without going full Jain.
You never go full Jain.
