The main appeal of this philosophy is that there is no God to answer to. One becomes one's own god and falls into the clutches of spiritual guides who are probably deceivers and agents of the god of this world we were warned about.
Thank you for repeating my point.
The lives of those who espouse and cling to this philosophy are not anything I would want to emulate. Look at Shirley McClaine, Alice Bailey, Helen Blavatsky, all kind of weirdos.
Odd, but I once heard a minister offer his congregants the same assurance, to the effect that Christianity was self-proving: if you think you have problems in this world now, he thundered, just wait until you consecrate your life to Christ! Just wait until you are born again in the spirit and give your life to God, and then let's see what happens! His point being that becoming a true Christian, as opposed to the kind that doesn't offend Satan as a true enemy, makes one a special case for the Devil and invites a heaping-up of diabolical trials, temptations, and worldly torment.
Looking on the plight of the committed Christian laboring, Job-like, under all those darts and afflictions, we should all prefer, following your argument, to be Madame Blavatsky.
