Fantasy God or Real Godhood?


There has been much theological fictionalizing, treating God as independent of material life and distinct from nature. Then religious philosopher's developed brilliant ways to make a non-material God seem both rational and objective. This should have sent up alarms regarding what reason and objectivity really mean.
We don't have to lose God, or more precisely, Godhood, if we bring God back to real nature. We evolve in the material and supermaterial world toward Godhood. Nature preceded both man and God, indeed, nature evolved both man and Godhood.
When we conceive of Godhood as that which we evolve to become in the material and supermaterial world, as is done in theological materialism, then religious and philosophical problems tend to be resolved. We can conservatively retain but transform the old conceptions of God in the Twofold Path.
