I am an orthodox Christian, ask me a question!

Much of the language I derive from Aristotelian readings and hylomorphic theory. Sure, you might not like my language use; I don't care. The point is the meaning conveyed, not whether you like how it is conveyed. It takes reflection, not just reading it and thinking "psychobabble". Look up words, reflect on words relationship to each other, etc. Otherwise, it will remain psychobabble for an outsider.

FYI I've spent quite a lot of time chasing up the words you use so that I understand the message. It's not that I don't understand or that I dismiss it, I just find it excessive and unnecessary.

But those are the same statements. The fact that he actualised the universe is the same fact as that he willed to actualise it. There is no separation, no composition, no potentiality in him, only pure actuality.

I'm skipping the two large paragraphs as they're summed up in this one. I rejeect the notion that wanting and doing are the same thing for your god. Whether he sat and procrastinated for three thousands years or acted instantaneously due to his transcendence of time, he is still making things happen BECAUSE that is what he wishes to do. If you are going to go as far as to say his lack of thinking means his will IS his doing then you're basically saying "his doing is his doing" and confounding two words that have different implications. You're denying his will by saying it is his action.

It's not an unknown reason. It belongs to good to disperse good, and since God is pure actuality (pure good), it belongs to his goodness that he wills (actualises) the goodness of other things (their actuality) that also disperse their goodness (actuality), such as biological organisms.

Demonstrate how God is good at all before you claim him to be pure good. I'd also like to know by what metric you're making this judgement of morality on a transcendent god? The same god of the old testament right? The one who willed.. i mean instaneously ordered people to slaughter each other? This good fellow?

God does not "possesss" desires; this is an anthropomorphic designation. God does "desires", if anything, he does not posesses them. God only wills insofar as God does, because he is pure actuality. Only impure actuality has potential and latent actualities that belong to it's yet unrealised potency, the realisation of which it receives ultimately from pure actuality, God.

Whether they sit around for months or are instantaneously acted upon, God still wills for things to be done and for some reason he wished that we would be created and some of us would die gruesome deaths while others chatted on forums using funny words. God willed for this to be done, it was his choice.

But pure actuality is not pantheistic, because the universe is not pure actuality, and hence, not God. If you ask why not, it demonstrates you have not understood what I mean with the words I say, which makes discussion pointless. But luckily, I have already answered it.

And I still think that this transcendent god you describe through your actuality/potentiality argument is at best a neutral, indifferent force of (super)nature without the bigoted prejudices of the judgemental christian misogynist.
