faithJust one final set of statements.
1) Pantheism has nothing to do with faith. Your continued focus on faith shows that you are refusing to acknowledge this.

your "facts" of pantheism or the universe being god is that everything in the universe is consistent with it being in the universe and that any new thing we find in the universe is consistant with it being in the universe\2) It is not circular - God is identical to the Universe. This identification does not add any new attributes to the Universe, or vice versa.
thats so circular i got dizzy typing it out
see one and the definition of "faith"3) You are not questioning my faith. I have no faith.
i dont see why you are denying that facet of "god" "faith" is well defined within the universe and should be consistant with god
i understand perfectly what you are saying4) You are not understanding what I am saying when I state that scientific facts are consistent with pantheism. I am not saying that these facts "prove" that god exists (the existence of the Universe needs no proof), only that the facts are consistent with the statement that God=Universe.
its just its all nonsense
you claim people are not looking at pantheism objectively
we ask what facts are there to look at objectively
and you say "stuff is in the universe is a fact, god is the universe so the stuff in the universe are facts that are consistent with the idea that god is the universe"
the only thing we can be objective about anything like is is the statement "stuff exists" and the only valid response to that is say "yes stuff exists but we'rent we supposed to be talking about a god or something"
you have belief in a religous idea without proof to back it up5) I shy away from this discussion because your approach is both aggressive and assumptive. You will continue to claim that I have some sort of "faith", despite me repeatedly explaining that I do not. No good will come of it. I do not feel any cosmic compulsion to convince you otherwise. So farewell.
that is textbook "faith"
you came here of your own accord to tell us how ignorant we all are about pantheism
well here i am as a facet of the god you beleive in (my asking you about god being the universe is certainly consistent with the universe) asking you to enlighten us all to this hidden knowledge that you have that certainly in no way shape or form could ever be described as "faith"
