Pandeism is discerned from very precise logic -- and so it necessarily sets aside the human vanity and self-importance inherent in the construction of theistic faiths.<br /><br />This problem is highlighted by the proposition that religion is in some part about 'a savior' -- an externalization which places man a the most important thing in existence and would make our Creator man's servant, existing to 'save' the all-important human ego. Which is why Pandeism is not about 'picking sides' -- theists treat their religions like a favorite football team, they choose which team to like and then argue for why it ought to win every game, and make excuses when it doesn't. Reality, obviously, is much harder on the ego than this. In Pandeism we have faith in that most fundamental of human gifts, the ability to reason, to examine our Universe itself as proof of our origin and purpose, and to use logic to eliminate all which is vain and biased and self-serving, in order to drill down to truths which may be of no immediate benefit to us, but which are valuable naetheless because our Universe is designed to reveal these truths to us. And that by itself is the most compelling proof of all!!Knujehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106711599558787764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34314838.post-14774718509791211452012-05-10T16:03:06.621-07:002012-05-10T16:03:06.621-07:00If God created us and is in us, whats he doing?

How do you know?<br />Religion is about having faith in God for heaven, a savior, freedom, happiness, blessings.<br />Padeism all sounds like a wishy-washy mass of cultures. You can't pick sides so you just beileve in some God and hope for the best? What is there to have faith in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
