your aversion is quickly dismantled - people who are anti-authority (God > me) are easily convinced with one fact:
you are that "God".
there is another thread where a guy talks about solipsism being true. he is right.
only the "I" exists and is permanent. but this "I" is beyond the ego, that which you perceive as "self".
the hindus refer to it the "Higher Self" or the "True Self". it is that which remains when you cut away all things that you can cut away, starting with the 5th skandha going all the way to the innermost 1st.
when all is gone, there is that "void".
that is you.
other than you, nothing exists.
but this "you" is also the "me".
we are not a multiplicity (basis in duality) but an absolute unity (non-dual) => basis of the golden rule!
there are implications to this and some don't like that:
you are beyond any authority. beyond any laws etc. and beyond all judgement.
but the "you" i used in my previous sentences, is not the ego bound, incarnate, limited, evil you. its the absolute you. this was the "good news" in the christian faith, until it was watered down so hard, that it became unrecognizable: the Father and you are one, not two - the mind of Christ, the mystery of godliness.
you gotto keep your self in check for the sake of harmony (to live peacefully with others), so that life does not get in the way of the goal of life: apotheosis/enlightenment/moksha/liberation/salvation.
and the key to that is sexual sublimation: celibacy, prostrations, neidan, internal transmutation (jing/cristos->chi->shen) until the immortal fetus is birthed.
you find this formula hidden in all religions, in christendom the cristos led up the 33 vertebrates of the spine into your gologhta (skull), in hinduism is the kundalini metaphor, in buddhism buddha at the base of the tree (also representing the spine).
islam has the most potent variant and sufism has produced the most liberated people over time.
but regardless, the transformation is secular, like puberty
