Unseen_Abilities Posted July 12, 2014 If I had to choose a religious label for myself, it would now be Neo-Pantheist, meaning I've created a fully functional, completely personal faith for myself. Â Intuitively, I know many many traditionalists are against forward-thinking people doing this, but I've no idea why. Of course I can understand the value that lies in preserving sacred traditions, however for where I'm at right now, becoming a Neo-Pantheist has proven the perfect decision and life choice. Â If anyone automatically thinks that means I've gone down the wrong path then they are just mistaken - it's as simple as that. Â Any other Neo-Pantheists on the forum? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zanshin Posted July 12, 2014 Yes, can be a lot of different interpretations and religious connotations with Taoist, so if I would self identify by checkbox would be pantheist. It is nice that we can both be pantheists without having to do the same things (-: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrandmasterP Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I like 'pan'. ( In India it's a Betel Nut and Lime chew). Retired vicar of my acquaintance has it thusly... " Some of my colleagues were amillennialists, some were premillenialists and others were postmillenialists. I've always been a panmillenialist in the belief and along the lines that it'll all pan out eventually." Â Hence 'neo-pantheism' sounds like a jolly good thing for those who like both pantheism and 'the new'. Â Edited July 12, 2014 by GrandmasterP 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I'll bet they don't get much heated debate if they have a forum though. Think about it.. Someone posts... " I reckon God's a giant purple turtle. Amongst other things of course." All the pantheists on the forum are obliged to respond along the lines of... " Yep, could well be." No pantheist could ever dissent from any other pantheist. Everyone's potentially right all of the time. Â 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
