Re: polytheism revealed
Are you talking about Polytheism or Pantheism?
Polytheism means many gods.
Pantheism means all is a part of God.
How can you pronounce upon all when you can't even get your words or your definitions straight?

Yes, fair enough. We all make mistakes sometimes, but I disagree one should refer to oneself as dumb just over the occasional error.
Or do you know something about yourself that I don't?
This thread seems a more appropriate place for me to pester you when you make false accusations concerning my religion, so out of respect for the rules I will confine any future responses to here should you insist on continuing.

Re: polytheism revealed
But if you are right (and I am assuming that you are a pantheist with this comment), then I am part of the all and cannot be wrong. I can only evolve, so why Lord it over me?
How does it follow that if you are part of God, then you can never be wrong. Have you ever considered the idea that God is evolving along with yourself?
Besides terms like omnipotence, omnipresence, perfection, all break down to meaninglessness under Spinoza Pantheism.
But of course you would know that if you knew what the term Spinoza Pantheism means.
If you prefer to think of yourself as seperate from God, that is your choice, it just may not be possible despite your best efforts.
What contradiction?
