In our own time, Oneism–the pagan and occult pantheist antithesis of the Word of God–remains substantially unchanged from what they was in Paul’s time:

I was also thinking of that ridiculous movie with Shirley McClain “Out on a Limb,” in that cringey squeaky voice “I am god! I am god!” Hollyweird was indoctrinating us back then.
