Isn’t pantheism the same thing as atheism?
RE: Isn’t pantheism the same thing as atheism?
(November 22, 2021 at 7:38 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: A god could lack free will and it would still be a god, just as….if we lacked free will, we’d still be people, still be all that we are.  Theistic gods are categorized as such because they’re like us, not in some different class.  If the whole universe could credibly be called personal and intervening, a pantheistic god would exist.  Pantheism would be true.  No extra levels or different stuff required.

Not having free will would seem to rob our actions of what is traditionally conceived of as moral significance. Such a move would be fatal for a god.
