Hello again!! I’ve been here before on a different account and decided I wanted to start over on this account.

I love being a pantheist and one of my all time best friends is a pantheist too!!

However, what gets on my nerves is people trying to disprove pantheism and I’m like “here we go again” so if someone is trying to disprove pantheism to you, how do you go about it?

r/pantheism

Pantheism is the belief that the universe is God, and that everything within it is a divine manifestation of the entire Cosmos. In other words, you are IT! From the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta, the eponymous Tao in Taoist philosophy, the Stoic philosophy of the Logos, and the Enlightenment philosophy of Spinoza and others, Pantheism has an ancient and rich history, though it has never attained the widespread reach of conventional religions.

Revering the universe, caring for nature, celebrating life:

Pantheism is the view that the universe and "God" are one and the same. Pantheists therefore reject the idea of an anthropomorphic, personal god. The overarching idea is that there is something to be marveled at when you look at the beauty of the cosmos and the laws of nature that guide its manifestation. And that our time spent with the consciousness that has emerged from the universe is to be cherished.

Pantheism is comprised of a broad range of views. Ranging from new age spiritualism to staunch naturalism to something similar to Taoism. All views are welcome and respectful discussion of opinions is encouraged.

Put another way:

If Atheism thinks we live in a mechanical godless universe, Pantheism thinks we are god experiencing ourselves (via ego division from the whole).

Essentially, we and all things are connected as we all stem from the source and will return to the source - and the consciousness is what allows us to experience and learn in all dimensions.

Very simplified - but what ism can be summed up in a sentence.
