I know this is important to you, but this sort of stuff may be better suited for your blog or something. I mean, this is basically philosophical fan-fiction, and it's not even a match for Ron Paul's actual beliefs. Paul's a devout Christian with dominionist leanings - he's writing textbooks for homeschoolers now. The man who penned a screed about the liberals' "War on Christmas" is not likely to be embracing pantheism any time soon.
It's starting to feel like you're just appropriating the names of famous people to pretend they agree with your ideas. For that matter, you even refer repeatedly to the "Xandria Materials," but without noting they're your own fictional creation. That borders on being misleading.
And besides, honestly... whenever one thinks they've found an either\or dichotomy, the truth is virtually always that they're both part of a larger linked system. Words are just shadows of ideas. They can never encompass the whole. So traditional This vs That debating can rarely, if ever, get at underlying truths because the nature of such debates is inherently exclusionary. "A" or "B" thinking discourages people from seeing the inherent unity of One-ness.
I'm not trying to stifle discussion, but there are more productive ways to go about talking about the LOO and\or your own interpretations of Ra's words. Why don't you just say what YOU believe rather than inventing sources and then assigning them false credibility?
