Theological materialism in one paragraph


I realized awhile back that I like to try to write my whole philosophy in one paragraph, it organizes and concentrates the mind---I think Nietzsche said something about liking to do this. Here is my Latest:

Theological materialism renders religion and Godhood concrete, material, and mostly verifiable by observation or experience, but it requires the affirmation of purpose in the inward activation of material evolution to evolve toward supermaterial Godhood, which is the zenith of success in material survival and reproduction. Godhood is not the wholly spiritual God of traditional religion and not the wholly spiritual Absolute of philosophy. The often crude and sometimes seemingly random outside forces of natural evolution and selection, which have been increasingly mapped by science, work or can work in synchronization if not rational harmony with the inward activation of material life to evolve toward Godhood. The old Inward Path of traditional religions of symbolically experiencing the god-within is not rejected but is conservatively seen in the Twofold Path as the first glimpse of Godhood, which is transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution and leads to the supermaterial object or objects of real Godhood.
