Theism implies a belief in a God.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2019 6:51 am The term "theists" implied they by definition believe there is a God and that created the universe.
The term leaves open the questions "What is God?" and "What does it mean to believe (or not believe) in God?".
e.g Pantheism. What is God? God is the Universe.
What does it even mean to believe (or not believe) in God-The-Universe?
Personally in my experience and comprehension of this entity - God - Panentheism is the best glove that fits.
It is extremely personable btw, although I would advise keep away - this doG bites.
Does that mean that God created the universe - NO.
It means, that what man conceives of, indeed perceives of the universe IS God. And what can man perceive? Reality...and that's our limit.
Ergo - God is the construct behind our reality and what we perceive is the 'universe' ...whatever the fuck that is.
Do you comprehend the difference?
