Defending Pantheism
#19
RE: Defending Pantheism
I guess I'm a little puzzled as to the value of calling everything "God." It doesn't help us understand anything, it doesn't have any explanatory power or any utility that you can integrate into your life, it doesn't answer any of the big philosophical questions (why are we here, where are we going, etc). Is the only reason because it helps some people feel some sort of connectedness?

If that's the case, then that's fine - but a feeling derived from a proposition isn't anything close to a reason to believe that proposition.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
