Answers in Reason<p>Non-theistic God Beliefs - WTF? <br><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@answersinreason/video/7362504807392742688" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tiktok.com/@answersinreason/vi</span><span class="invisible">deo/7362504807392742688</span></a></p><p>theism, in the broadest sense, is understood as belief in at least one deity, so it's not surprising that when someone says deism or pantheism are not forms of theism it raises a few eyebrows. hopefully this will clear up the reason some god beliefs like <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/deism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deism</span></a> <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/pantheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pantheism</span></a> <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/pandeism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pandeism</span></a> are not regarded as forms of <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/theism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theism</span></a> and we therefore have <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/nontheistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nontheistic</span></a> <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/god" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>god</span></a> <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/belief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>belief</span></a></p><p><a href="https://masto.nu/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.nu/tags/Epistemolog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Epistemolog</span></a></p>
Mark@RCR 🌀<p>So, we are an entity divided in itself to know itself experientially what it knew conceptually, in this realm of physicality and experience the full glory of who we truly are. As Ervin Laszlo says, “All parts of a living organism are multidimensionally, almost instantly connected with all other parts.” <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>consciousness</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/pandeism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pandeism</span></a></p>
Tay<p>I'm a weird mix of <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/polytheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>polytheism</span></a> (specifically hard polytheism) and <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/pandeism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pandeism</span></a>.</p><p>For those who don't know, pandeism is a belief that a creator deity became the universe and, thus, ceased to exist as a separate entity.</p><p>The combination of the two beliefs might seem really weird and it DOES make me go "???" at myself but the best way I've come to understand and conceptualize it is:</p><p>I believe there was a creator deity that became the universe and when they did so, their divinity spread onto all life within the universe.</p><p>This includes the gods. Thus, polytheism.</p><p>And this also does mean all life is divine to me, and that humans can tap into that divinity.</p><p>... At least, that's the best way I've come to understand it.</p>
