Hi, I'm the Godhead

Void -

You're very insistent that I confess to something which I feel no need to confess to. The reason being that disagree with your views, so obviously what you're insisting on isn't going to happen. I'm not asking you to confess to anything.

Then explain why you can hold the beliefs you do and still consider yourself intellectually honest.

You cannot simply disagree for no given reason and still consider yourself to be intellectually honest.

I'm not asking you to confess to anything.

I'm not the one who refuses to explain myself.

No dice. I disagree with your views, it's as simple as that.

You're an intellectually spineless Muppet, it's as simple as that.

Now you're resorting to namecalling, just because I don't agree with you. Charming.

For what purpose would someone have to defend what they believe? Defend against what? What is under attack, and does it feel threatened?

Don't people only defend things which they feel are jeapordised by something else?

In a word, yes.

It wasn't an insult, it was a description.

I do not consider you intellectually spineless because you disagree with me, I consider you that because you absolutely refuse to attempt to address the obvious critical flaws in your reasoning, show no care for the potentially unlimited number of contradictory conclusions that can be obtained using the standard of evidence that you defined yourself and use in reaching your own conclusion, show no interest in explaining why you think your conclusion is more valid than the other conclusions, instead rationalising it using the exact same standard that lead to all these contradictory conclusions in the first place, and yet you still claim to give a fuck about determining the truth of your beliefs....

Trichotomy: You're either dishonest, stupid or both.

The privileged of being considered intellectually honest, and therefore the right to claim that you give a shit about the truth, is under attack.

But I don't care if you consider me intellectually dishonest or stupid or anything at all. All this time, did you think I cared about you thought of me? One thing which has always served me in life and which I advise anyone to live by, is the fact that what other people think of me is neither here nor there. If all this time you have been appealing to any sense of caring what others think of me which you assumed I had, then I'm afraid you're totally on the wrong page. Caring what others think of you is a burden, certainly not a privilege, and a sign of low self esteem, and it doesn't serve you. I'd happily give that advice to anyone.

Hiya, 'Head.

You mentioned panentheism and you said that you weren't sure if panentheism applies to you. Which parts apply to you and which ones don't?

I've tried looking for the website which gave some definitions, but I can't find it. But I found this, which kind of explains what I believe :

"According to Hartshorne, panentheism can best be understood through an analogy: just as a single organism exists both as as a collection of semiautonomous, individual cells and as an autonomous individual who is more than jut a collection of cells, God can be seen as both a collection of all the constituent parts of reality and as "something more" than the universe itself. Although we, along with the rest of existence, can be thought of as part of God's "body," God's mind or consciousness extends beyond that body and causes God to be more than just a collection of parts.

As parts of God, our freedom is not absolute - just as the freedom of cells in our body is not absolute. At the same time, our actions and thoughts are not dependent upon or controlled by God any more than we are able to consciously control and direct the actions of our individual cells. We may be more than our cells, but we depend upon our cells acting independently of our minds in order for us to grow and even to be in the first place."
