I wrote this a year ago as a sort of introduction to Pantheism for a group I belong to, of mostly non-pans.
I am a PAN-THEIST, from the Greek roots πᾶν (pan), meaning “all, of everything” and θεός (theos) […]

Right on, Giordano! Today’s NASA announcement that 7 Earth-sized planets are in orbit around TRAPPIST-1 is yet another confirmation of what Giordano Bruno believed, and died for: that ours is one of infinite Suns, many with planets that might support life. Coming just 5 days after we marked the anniversary of his heretic-death-by-fire, we should…[Read more]

This is of particular interest to me. Cool, red dwarfs, especially relatively near by, are extremely good candidates for SETI searches. Mostly ignored due to a gap in observational technology, only rectified relatively recently, this type of star system is poised to become real headline makers in the years to come.

Remembering Giordano Bruno today…Bruno was burned at the stake on this day in 1600, after refusing to recant his belief that not only did the Earth revolve around the sun, but that the stars were suns as well, with planets around them. This didn’t sit well with the Church and the Roman Inquisitors. A reminder that brownshirts have always…[Read more]

Thanks Charles. I changed the description and clicked save, but it did not show the change.
Here’s my new description, please could you get it in there. Thanks.

Can a pantheist have a “religious” experience?
I ask this humbly, as some one who isn’t new here. As some one who has spent a lot of time thinking on about topics such as this one (and I’ve written a few thousand words on it too!)
Please. Read the question, attempt to answer honestly from your own personal experience/pantheism? No…[Read more]

I started this thread because I’m a 50 year old father of three. My youngest and I were listening to music tonight… He’s a self-proclaimed “atheist” although I think 20 years of living with me has softened him a bit in any sort of militancy.
We were listening to music that in particular suggested a certain relation to pantheism. I think he…[Read more]

Every time I say “wow”, every time im overcome with the awe, both the most beautiful and the most deplorable things of our reality, this is when I feel the powerful notion of “god” the Omnia, strongest. The mundane parts of reality are part of the whole bag too, but it’s those powerful moments that really wake you up and remind you.

I’ve been reading about desecularization. It’s scary stuff. I didnt find this in the literature but best I can tell secular people have turned to their government for the answers, look to the government to be their voice, because they have no healthy religious alternative.
