Perhaps you also are obsessed with the external side of things, and have missed the true meanings? Possibly you also have been misinformed?

I am sorry, I am not Aron. I don't have his intelligence, knowledge, and spirit. But I believe that "obsessed" means "preoccupied or filled the mind of (someone) continually and to a troubling extent".
Brother, the Orthodox Church is not about icons, vestments, and theosis. It's about leading a spiritual life that leads one to Christ.
I am glad that in your spiritual life you are not like those lowly and ignorant Orthodox Christians. You don't focus on icons, vestments, and theosis, but Christ alone. God bless.
