I have been to many churches, mosques, synagogues, cathedrals, and temples. They all saw the message, they all read the message, and they all hold the message in the highest esteem. I know what is possible. I have seen it with my own eyes.

Sorry if I seem incredulous, but you are saying you have presented this to Christians, Jews, and Muslims and entire churches, mosques, and synagogues have decided to forsake their own religion for yours? If you were to have presented this meaage at any of the churches I attended over a 20ish year timespan, you might have gotten some sort of a polite response (You might also have gotten called down for teaching heresy...), but not a single person would have dropped their belief in the divinity of Christ, and none of them would have embraced your idea that we could become Gods. from my experience I have a hard time believing that much of the Christian world, let alone Judaism, Islam, and the host of other world religions would leave their doctrine and embrace yours...

At best you might get someone who agrees with your idea as some sort of ecumenical position, but is not actually changing their core beliefs, just trying to wrap them in some nice, non confrontational words.
