That is what you adopt personally as your philosophy. In that respect I am sure you will agree ‘’communities” spring up from age to age and evolve of like-minded individuals bonded under a common thread.

It leads to situations where those who have good fortune in some area thank 'Him', implying that those whose fortunes have not been so great, or are suffering in some way have offended that same great and loving power. <br />Why that is different from an Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-89651045404745180502015-09-22T07:15:54.217-04:002015-09-22T07:15:54.217-04:00Hi Halle

Hence Pantheism views the Universe in the totality of all existence- think of it as the idea that God and the universe are identical which denies the idea of the transcendence of God. <br />A counter view then is the universe is not GODLindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-42576021754459383082015-09-22T05:23:25.678-04:002015-09-22T05:23:25.678-04:00Lindsay, I have always wondered if the fictional c...Lindsay, I have always wondered if the fictional character Fr.
