It's one thing to believe that the universe is god, it's something entirely different to believe the god universe wants you to sacrifice a bull with large enough testicles for its liking.

Exactly right. Like some others, I have no real problem with 'Spinoza's God' (as a philosophical concept, at least) or equating 'God' with 'Nature'.

That being said, Nature doesn't expect me to pray to it, or donate a portion of my income, or set heretics alight.
