Can you elaborate on what you refer to when you mention "logic" and "grounded in reality"? From my perspective, both mainstream religions like Christianity and Law of One "ask" for faith in the unprovable and mysterious. For example, the parting of the Red Sea, miraculous healings, resurrection and virgin birth, to name a few Christian stories I learned during childhood.
Don't know much about mystic christianity, but that may be what you are describing.
I wonder if the merging of religion into politics (at least here in US) might have something to do with this closed-mindedness. Laws are tools of social management. Merging religious, spiritual and philosophical beliefs into the legal system could easily undermine love, forgiveness and understanding, and turn spiritual matters into mechanisms to control the population.
Religion is open to interpretation (i.e., distortion). And there are likely those within any religion who adopt a "my way or the highway" attitude.
How far can one go with their faith and intellect? Can one believe in the bible stories? Can that same one also believe in Law of One? The answers are likely unique to each one of us.
There were times in human history when we were more open to magic, miracles and mysticism, and thus Ra (and perhaps others) could walk among us with greater openness. Can people accept the miracles referenced in the bible, and also the Law of One narrative (not referring to the Law of One philosophy here)? Some can, and some can not.
What if we were all more on the 'same page'? Yet, seeing/being both one-ness and individuality is kinda the point of this veiled 3D experience, right? How can I be amidst all of this diversity and unique expressions, and also see/be unity, infinite unity at that?

A) One of the problems I have with Christians a bit is that I find them kind of closed minded. In line with these teachings, I do not consider things like astrology or tarot to be the work of the devil. Mostly I can keep this kind of stuff away from Christians but if something emotional happens and I become more "raw" the controlling nature of this perspective becomes all too clear for me.

It says where "Jesus" was before 30 years old even though the normal bible story of just not addressing this is kind of ridiculous imo. Also, a basic scientific understanding of how he got his ability (i.e. the pyramid) definitely changes the conversation. It's annoying because I have enough information to explain the story of Jesus in a practical way that does not have as many logic holes, and I think for that very fact could help a lot of people; but Christians are utterly, utterly not willing to listen to anything along these levels.
