god is all & all is god...
pantheists have a reverence for nature
"It does not require faith in miracles, invisible entities or supernatural powers.
It accepts and affirms life joyously. It does not regard this life as a waiting room or a staging post on the way to a better existence after death.
It has a healthy and positive attitude to sex and life in the body.
It teaches reverence and love and active concern for nature. Nature was not created for us to use or abuse - Nature created us, we are an inseparable part of her, and we have a duty of care towards her.
It enthusiastically embraces the picture of a vast, creative and often violent universe revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope. We need a spirituality in keeping with this new knowledge, not one that seeks to deny or explain away parts of it.
It does not simply co-exist uncomfortably with science: it fully embraces science as part of the human exploration of the awesome universe. However, this does not mean we believe that science can answer all questions, nor that we endorse all modern technologies regardless of their impact on nature."

From the World Pantheist Movement website:
"s Nature your spiritual home?
Do you feel a deep sense of peace and belonging and wonder in the midst of nature, in a forest, by the ocean, or on a mountain top? Are you speechless with awe when you look up at the sky on a clear moonless night and see the Milky Way strewn with stars as thick as sand on a beach?
When you see breakers crashing on a rocky shore, or hear wind rustling in a poplar's leaves, are you uplifted by the energy and creativity of existence?
Do you find it impossible to believe in supernatural beings, and difficult to conceive of anything more worthy of reverence than the beauty of nature or the power of the universe?
If you answered yes to these questions, then you will feel thoroughly at home in the World Pantheist Movement. Our caring and celebratory approach focuses on nature rather than the supernatural, on what we can see and do and live out rather than on invisible entities that we can only imagine."

Pantheism is the only theism I have ever been attracted to. The universe in all its manifestations is the embodiment of God. God is everywhere and in everything. The pantheist does not usually accept a personal God; in fact the pantheist god is a bit like mathematics.
Spinoza is an outstanding example although I can't recall if he refers to his philosophy as pantheism.

Pantheism means 'God is All' and 'All is God'. It is the view that everything is of an all-encompassing immanent God; or that the universe and all gods are equivalent.
Therefore, a Pantheist is someone who follows this belief - someone who believes in one God!

Pantheism is a religious/spiritual system that recognizes/worships many gods instead of just one god. Examples include ancient Roman, Greek, or Egyptian gods.
Contemporary examples include Hinduism.
Alternately, Pantheism is a system that recognizes no god/s in particular, rather an "all is god" or "god is all" approach.

Pantheism states that the universe is a part of God and that God is a part of the universe.
The Bible holds that this is NOT true, for it says that God is apart from the universe, and that He cretated it.
