>mechanics of Theosis?
I am not certain what exactly do you mean by that but if it is what I think you are referring to (which is on God's creations and such), then I will recommend you to read the Summa by St. Thomas of Aquinas. It is pretty good, goes deep into stuff such as mysticism.

That would be the Summa Theologica. It's a pretty big book. It's common for TradLARPers to see image macros from cripchan and think that it's just the Five Ways and a bit of fluff, but it's actually a really, really fucking big thing. Remember, Aquinas is trying to defend Christianity from the combined intellectual assaults of Judaism, Islam, AND Philosophy. He's basically building a religion from scratch (intellectually, obviously Christianity was already a thing).

You might think that this would ruffle feathers. It did. Aquinas was threatened with excommunication if he didn't cease teaching a very large number of heresies. It wouldn't be until well after his death that his ideas would actually catch on and the narratives about him floating while glowing and singing would be invented.

But remember, Christians have absolutely no reason for believing the things they do, it's all just a fairy tale. Christians are uneducated hillbillies. Atheism however is very rational.

Read the Summa. I have said it before ITT and I will say it again. Aquinas deals with every single objection thus presented ITT by atheist and much more.

Well that sucked

your pastor has not learned to read psychologically and the reading list at his seminary was a joke so he's basically a pleb not even close to /lit/'s level of understanding
