What Happens When God is Nature?

Exactly, so I pointed out that the spin you seem to perceive isn't there since I stated historical fact. Just read Spinoza.

That's an illogic statement in itself and a rather hilarious one. There is no rule of logic that prohibits evidence for a framework of truth statements within that logic, it's a rule invented by religion, more specifically your personal take on religion. There are clear examples of evidential frameworks that are not illogic, science being the most obvious one and a rather succesfull one. Contrary to religion, science does have explanantory and predictive power. Religion as the body of illogic that is so clearly demonstrated by this assertion of you, cannot even begin to make meaning of it's own ass.

One clearly does so when one states that on the one hand "god is nature" and on the other hand that god is a personal god and a sentient agent ruling the universe, since observation of nature does not involve these alleged phenomena.
