r/pantheism

I may have asked this question before, but I forgot. I'm an omnist and believe in Spinoza's God, and that all the Gods that exist such as the Christian God, Jewish God The Egyptian Gods, Hindu Gods, other Pagan Gods, etc are divine forms of the divine reality we live in. I put it like this.

If you cut an apple into slices, the apple is in seprate parts, but it's still an apple.

Does this make cohesive sense?

So a while ago I developed a belief system that seemed to make the most sense to me, and I was curious if it is a concept that already has a name or if it's just an unnamed niche belief. Broadly I believe in pantheism, specifically that the divine is just another aspect of the natural universe. More specifically I belive that the divine is made up of primal aspect/archetypes of reality, and that every God that exists falls into one or more of those primal aspects. These aspects have a sort of cosmic energy to them and when "spiritually" manifesting tend to take the form of whatever you personally believe them to be. So for example, someone worshiping Aphrodite and someone worshiping Ishtar are both worshiping the primal aspect of sexuality, just in different forms. Does anyone know if there is a religion or spiritual belief that is similar to this? Any information would be much appreciated.

This religion logically makes the most sense in my minds will I believe in pandeism but yea

Hello,
I have described myself as a pantheist for a while but now I am looking into the problem of consciousness. Not only is it quite hard for me to actually define it, I am also wondering if I should you Spinoza’s definition of consciousness in our universe or the one Advaita Vedanta gives us. So if you have a formalized stance on this and you could for rationalize this for me it would be awesome.

A question for believers (no matter what religion): Why does everything in this world necessarily have or should have a creator, but a creator can't possibly have its own creator? And why don't you believe that everything could have just appeared or has always existed?

(Without the negativity, I'm just curious to read the answers, if there are any at all =)

Hiii!!! I’m Brandi and I’m new here :)

For all of my life, I’ve identified as an Atheist even though I was forced to go to church by my granny and grandad when I was younger and after doing a ton of research on pantheism, I realized this is what best describes me and I’m excited to find this community and more people like me :)

When I was a teenager, the answer to this question was clear and obvious to me, but now that I'm 22 years old, using every source and every way, the concept of pantheism has become vague to me. I don't know what has changed and what is vague to me, but it is vague!

What are the different varieties of pantheism? I have a feeling that Spinoza's substance monism is not the only one. I'm aware that naturalism and idealism can both fit into pantheism.

I sometimes call part of my theology "pantheist-leaning" since I am not sure if it fits entirely. I believe the total creative and sustaining forces that shape the Universe are Divine. Also the total energy of all things in existence. Subjectively I also feel a divine presence in Nature sometimes (especially sky, sun, trees, landscape). I am also a polytheist.

He was one of the very first content creators I started following when I first began questioning religion, dogma, and traditional concepts of God. His sharp focus on critical thinking and active stance against religious fanaticism was a huge part of my own personal journey. It’s disheartening—though unfortunately not surprising—to see the wave of comments from religious zealots celebrating his passing, claiming he’s now in "hell" or alleging last-minute deathbed conversions. Asdrúbal actually addressed this exact phenomenon before he passed, leaving a message stating clearly that he lived according to reality and wouldn't be making any "celestial emergency calls" at the end. His daughters also shared a heartbreaking tribute confirming his death while calling out the hypocrisy of those claiming to speak for God while spewing hate. I know Asdrúbal had his own critiques of Baruch Spinoza’s vision of God—he viewed pantheism essentially as "nature with marketing" and argued that a God without intent or mind is indistinguishable from no God at all. While I personally hold a different perspective on Spinoza's Deus sive Natura and see the universe through a pantheistic lens, I always respected Asdrúbal’s relentless consistency and intellectual honesty.
Under Spinoza's view, there is no physical heaven or hell, no divine judge, and no afterlife tribunal. When we die, our individual consciousness ends, but the matter and energy that made us up simply rejoin the infinite whole. Asdrúbal didn't go to hell or face judgment. He simply returned to the natural universe he was always a part of. A person can pass away, but the need for critical thinking never will. Rest in peace, Asdrúbal.
