How do we interpret it, by and large? The term radiates a paradoxical, probably "have your cake and eat it" philosophy. ..Divinity taken down and placed in the chests and minds of people on earth unadulterated. .retaining its philosophical opacity, the Essentialism which claims God does exist but as a great Idea or force, maybe even a Being, in the supernatural mansions, apart and separate, uncreated by human imagination. .oimparting to us our values and our highest motives, and succoming us to ideas of His eternity to calm our souls. . .A Being with all the force and apocalypse of traditional nonsense. And we poor slaves can merely plug into Him. ..But rarely do do we see the old ones (or the nouveaus) as thinking people can create the ideas of "divine" things: that old God is a fat concept staggering to his doom, was back then, and still is now. Yes, man maybe has God inside, but does not create Him. . .Such you would think, anyway, by the degree to which any sort of atheist tradition mentions these greats, has brought their work down and called its truth out. We these days like to cover up the real truths, and the courage, these writers had. They faced the universe and its cloying civilization without disguise, propogating a traitorous philosophy they would have been drawn and quartered for in all but a handful of enlightened settings. Are we really getting this today? Good thing to break with the Puritannicos and the wampum of the varying instituted religions. ..but what was these people’s notion of “human divinity”?
