I've removed or, at least, mitigated the confusion for myself by equating
theos with divine instead of god. This fallen-away Catholic acolyte can live
more comfortably with divine wisdom which relates more to the metaphysical or
esoteric for me. Somehow when god or God is in the picture, formal religion,
with all its dogmatic regalia, seems suffocatingly close at hand and more than
willing to shove tenets down my throat.
