Tazzycorn,
Deism is like the watchmaker analogy. I believe it. But to say that God is somehow incapable of interacting with creation is simply closed minded. Assuming that GOD doesn't have the power or knowledge to have both set all in motion and destine everything yet still make it seam as if our trials or tests are determinate to our ultimate destiny. Pantheistic beliefs in how I understand them is the belief that God is the Universe. I can't say IT isn't, nor do I limit GOD in any way. I agree that everything is of GOD.
No I haven't read too much mythology. But I have read the Bhagavad-Gita, OT, NT, book of Enoch, Quran, Zend Avesta, the writing of the Bab or Baha'i scripture and parts of the beliefs of Buddhism, Confusiansm, Jainism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and much of Zoroastrianism.
They are all much more alike than different in morals and reasons for those virtues.
It's a shame that you are having trouble getting past your preconceived bias in regard to what GOD is.
You did mention two nature's, perhaps you were talking about deism and theism, but you did mention it. GOD isn't really described as being human, but human traits have been used to describe otherwise difficult things to describe. What did you mean about too small?
Peace
