Jesus criticized Jewish leaders who love "the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the market places, and being called ‘rabbi’ by men" (Matt. 23:6–7). His admonition here is a response to the Pharisees’ proud hearts and their grasping after marks of status and prestige.

Throughout the world, some people have been tempted to look upon religious leaders who are mere mortals as if they were an individual’s supreme source of spiritual instruction, nourishment, and protection. The tendency to turn mere men into "gurus" is worldwide.

This perfectly describes your religion...

Au contraire turning yourself into a guru and founding your own school of thought. is the perfect description of the Church of Iscool - membership 1

Your own gurushala teaches that you reject the Trinity as "Catholic innovation" and all the other tinfoil non-Christian beliefs that you write about. The fact that your Church of one gets no traction is proof of the godlessness of it's philosophies.
