Pantheism/Panentheism Is Superior To Atheism

The Psychology Behind The Belief Self-preservation is in our nature. Respecting ourselves is in our nature. Wanting to better ourselves is in our nature. In Pantheism and Panentheism, the "Self" is all that is. All that exists together is God, with individual things within the All are mere aspects of God. Therefore the Pantheist is naturally inclined to preserve all that is, respect all that is, and try to better all that is. Attaching Divinity To Creation Pantheism and Panentheism is a belief that attaches divinity to the universe. The word "universe" is a general word, a more scientific term, and attaches no divinity. Words like "God, Allah, Dios, Monad, Brahma" and all of the like are words and terms with divinity attached to them. Therefore the universe should be called by God, Allah, Dios, Monad, Brahma and all of the like. The Psychology Behind Divinity People naturally treat the divine with respect, deep reverence, holiness and all of the like. The universe and all that is in it is seen as divine within Pantheism and Panentheism. Therefore people will naturally treat the universe and all that is in it with respect, deep reverence, holiness and all of the like. The Highest Good Should Prevail Actions and ways of living that bring about the highest good, the most good, should always prevail over those that bring about less good, the least good or no good at all. Pantheism and Panentheism as an action, as a way of life, brings about the highest good, the most good. Especially when compared to Atheism. Therefore the actions and way of life people should take, should be that of Pantheism and Panentheism. Pantheism and Panentheism As A Religion Religion is the greatest social system known to man. Religion unites people together under one common belief. Religion unites whole communities and nations together under one common belief. Religion provides social services to its members. Religion propagates the common belief to its members, future generations, and proselytizes those outside of it. Pantheism and Panentheism is a common belief with the potential to be a great religion. Therefore as a religion, Pantheism and Panentheism will unite people together under a common belief, uniting people, communities and nations together under one common belief, provide social services to its members, propagate the common belief to its members, future generations, and proselytize outside of it, bringing people into the religion and unite them under the common belief. (see: The Psychology Behind The Belief; The Psychology Behind Divinity; The Highest Good Should Prevail) The Unlikely Attachment Of Divinity Pantheism and Panentheism attaches divinity to phenonema like toe nails, feces, urine and all of the like. Toe nails, feces, urine and all of the like are necessities to our authentic and realistic creation, having clear benefits and reasons for their processes and existence. Pantheists and Panentheists respect themselves, thereby respecting all that is (See: The Psychology Behind The Belief). Therefore Pantheists and Panentheists will respect phenomena like toe nails, feces, urine and all of the like, their necessity to our authentic and realistic creation, acknowledging the clear benefits and reasons behind their processes and existence. Possible Cliches Against Pantheism And Panentheism As you have seen Con point out, if a Pantheist will want to preserve, respect and revere all that is, he would not want to clip his toe nails, cut down trees, eat meat, and all of the like. But this I will now dub a cliche. It's not that they won't, because they still will, however they will have more of an appreciation and respect for these things. They will not become excessive in doing such things, and will be more thoughtful.This also applies to enemies, criminals and all of the like. It's not that you will be a pacifist, or not do anything about these people, you will just be more compassionate and understanding, you will see these phenomena in a deeper way.I'll add further to this as the debate continues.RebuttalCon said that he doesn't see what makes us, us, has to do with any of this. He clearly didn't contemplate for too long on exactly what that meant. As I said, I would like to see Con explain how he would be the exact same person if I went back in time and took him as a child from those who raised him, and drop him off at a Buddhist temple. He will not be the same. Why won't he be the same? Because he is as much his environment, his society, his family, more so, than he is himself independently. This is a clear proof of our interconnection with all that exists.Con said calling something God, or attaching divinity, to things like other humans, animals and plants don't change anything. See: The Psychology Behind Divinity. Clearly the foundations of Pantheism and Panentheism that I have shown you all has an effect on the way we percieve the world. If you see your enemy's face as the face of God, truly see it as such, you are more inclined to be compassionate and understanding, seeing him in a deeper way.Atheism, Not The Highest GoodAs you can see from the beginning, Atheism is not the highest good, it does not have the powerful social system of a religion, it's actually rather divided and individualistic. Atheists have nothing to unite them except for their disbelief in God in any way, shape or form, including that of Pantheism and Panentheism. Yet Pantheism and Panentheism are clearly more beneficial to the individual and the collective by far.When one truly contemplates on the beliefs I have shown here, they will realize that it would be selfish and ignorant to not be a Pantheist and Panentheist.And remember this new motto: The Highest Good Should Prevail.
