Yes. And probably even more crazy to believe in a god that does nothing that you can't see and has no effect on the universe....

Yep. That toe jam after a long day of work? God. That food stuck to the dirty dish in the pile in the sink? God. That wall over there with the brick missing? God.

I'd imagine it would be quite tiring because there are thousands of them even if you did one a day you wouldnt get through them very quickly and gods do need to be loved and obeyed quite a lot.

It depends on what you call god---to believe that all things are connected, every living thing is a part of the whole , that every action has a reaction is not the same as believing in a divine being that is seperate from everything else. Sin isn't an issue in panteisim nor is heaven and hell. It is being aware of the consequences of actions and taking responsibility for them

Pantheists believe in everything except reason.

The conception of what is meant by god, is very different in pantheism. God as Nature is entirely immanent and always in process. Since nature only exposes it self in its diversity, I take it that the pantheist god is a plurality which is in the process of realizing itself (more the way William James saw pantheism) it is not a deity.

Belief in all gods, as pan means all.

How does someone believe in gods they aren't even aware of? What about false gods? Maybe they just think everything is god..

@thinkwithme There are NO gods to be aware of and one just creates them in their minds/brains as needed.

@thinkwithme I don't pretend to understand it. I have no belief in any form of god or spiritual things.

One crock of shit or another still smells the same.

Vague and/or ambiguous words make conversations so much harder. Grr!
