Pandeism

[Tempus]

Both examples of mental masterbation brought on by an over indulgence of philosobabble, in my opinion.

Yes, but if you were to be a deist, doesn't Pandeism make more sense? Why would a creator make something and then just ignore it?

Maybe creation was a by-product. Maybe they're unaware they created anything. Maybe we were a failure. Maybe the creator is BUSY. They probably weren't ready for children. I've seen it happen. It's a damn shame too.

I was wondering if anyone here had an opinion on this particular idea.

No, not really.

Does pantheism exist purely in the minds of those who believe it, or have there been 'holy books' that deal with this philosophy?

Spinoza comes to mind. He was a pantheist and a Jewish believer. Or so I've always thought.

I did some research and according to Wikipedia, the name was first coined by British mathematician Joseph Raphson ('co-founder' of the Newton-Raphson method). I'm actually not surprised it was a mathematician that was thinking along the lines of what is now Pantheism.

It's not necessarily like that though Welsh. We would still be an unintended consequence of creating the universe. Ultimately if a god did become the universe nothing would change, our lives would still be as meaningless as before.

Depends on what position you take in Pandeism. There's more than one.

There are those who assert that the god in question did it intentionally because it wanted to 'understand itself' by becoming countless lifeforms and various entities and energies that make up the cosmos, and there are others who say that the being literally destroyed itself in creating the universe and is now "dead" or ceased to be god and we're its debris.

Some say the deity is trying to pull itself back together even, the list goes on.
