Wild idea: share opinion with God (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chimera

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wild idea' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'share opinion with god' is the wordplay.
'share opinion with' becomes 'chime' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'god' becomes 'Ra' (Egyptian god).
'chime'+'ra'='CHIMERA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chimera that I've seen before include "Fire-breathing female monster" , "Lion-headed monster" , "Mythological animal; something illusory" , "fabulous creature" , "Mythical monster, part lion, goat and serpent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
