Panentheism is the logical conclusion of fully realized eschatology

It takes a special form of delusional thinking in its own right to mistake what is for the kingdom of God:

Only an arrogant, delusional Jesus would have claimed divinity or predicted resurrection, Borg noted, adding, “We have categories of psychology for people who talk that way about themselves. ... [W]e and everything that is are in God. God is not something else. God is right here and all around us. We are within God. The best way to refer to God is You, the You who is right here.”

-- the late Marcus Borg, quoted here
