It now appears that there are two gods, then. Yours, which is not accountable to any standards apart from itself and Pat's which is accountable to Logic (and from there to a lot of other things by necessity). Or are you adopting a panentheistic position vis a vis your god? As I understand pantheism and panentheism... It is most accurate is to say that pantheists claim that god is IN everything. The distinction is needed because of panentheism which declares that everything is a PART of god. A pantheist would say that god is in a rock while a panentheist would say that the rock is a part of god, in a way that could be viewed as comparable to the rock being to god what our DNA (or a molecule) is to us. Panentheism's position is that it is the elemental aspects of the universe that comprise god -- as opposed to pantheism which sees god as permeating those elements. In a panentheistic view I suppose that Logic, Morality, etcetera is a PART of God. Is this close to your view? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
