1. i.e. Belief
serves the incomplete (i.e. open) as means (or strategy) to completion (or
closure). 2. For the
pantheist only nature exists. He or she is subject to the laws/constraints
and freedoms of nature. He/she may choose to believe that nature ≈ GOD. 3. For ‘nature’ read:
whatever is born/emerged as identifiable reality. About the un-born (and the
dead as no longer emerged) nothing can be said. 4. Pantheist
belief suits the mature who can protect and guide themselves. 5. i.e. The mono-theist,
as dualist, such as the Christian or Moslem, believes that his or her (one) God is (vis. exists
as ‘omnipotent, omniscient, real and eternal ‘other’) beyond nature, hence a
supernature (or supernatural). He or she is subject to unnatural laws/constraints
and freedoms. 6. Both believers
worship their GOD/God to induce (in
fact, superimpose) completion thereby avoiding the discomfort of
incompleteness. 7. Monotheistic (i.e.
‘my (or our) one God’) belief is designed
to protect and guide the immature. |
