What Happens When God is Nature?

Ah, you missed it again. No problem:

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

Or you could try a spinning excercise. If that ain't a logical idea to you, just have faith.

The invention of religion?! Now we're talking. Sounds like something a spin doctor should try to get himself through the day.

You seem out of control of the things you are implying here. It implies that religion is a manmade contraption for a manmade purpose. I totally agree dude.

Is that your logical faculty speaking? Reckon so.
In general the kind of emotional reaction you display is not a sign of thorough thinking. Check the causal realation you imply between bafflement and misunderstanding. Could anything else than misunderstanding cause it? Good luck.

I just introduced him to you as he goes by the name of Spinoza. There are plenty others though, so be aware. You may beat up the corpse of Spinoza if you can find it, but to ever come close to his mental quality while he was alive is just beyond your league, I'm afraid. But cheer up, I think you can have Sarah Palin in a head on combat.
