Anyway, that possibility cheers me up sometimes.
Not quite. You're thinking of pantheism. Panentheism means that everything comes out of God.

Don't make me consult wikipedia! Wink
Quote:Panentheism (meaning "all-in-God", from the Ancient Greek πᾶν pân ("all"), ἐν en ("in") and Θεός Theós ("God")) is a belief system which posits that the divine – whether as a single God, number of gods, or other form of "cosmic animating force" – interpenetrates every part of the universe and extends, timelessly (and, presumably, spacelessly) beyond it. Unlike pantheism, which holds that the divine and the universe are identical, panentheism maintains a distinction between the divine and non-divine and the significance of both

So the octopus interpenetrates all us sock puppets with its tentacles and extends timelessly beyond. Angel
