:mock: Chinese heroes with long hair.
I'm just happy that I resisted the urge to start in with "Hey good lurking." 
lain:...shoot.
lain:...shoot.
someone who believes in pantheism would not say God is a tree
but
they would say the tree is part of God in that nothing can exist outside of God
So you believe a tree is part of God, chrys?
I believe everything is part of God
I'll split the difference and say that God necessarily subsumes His creation. oly:

So... almost, but not entirely unlike tea?
Welcome to TOL... I guess :noid: Seems kinda weird to welcome a guy who's been here for a year already, but lurking in the shadows :granite:
So, why did it take you so long to step into the conversation? Are you shy? Or just a voyeur?

Ew! I have a barn full of examples of stuff that's not part of god
listen: and I'm not talking about the animals)I really enjoy reading debates more than I do participating in them. It just never seemed to occur to me that I could actually register.

we already know that you are really good at semantics
Reason, my dear boy. Reason.
I am not God and yet from God came I.

do you have any ideas on how you separate what is not part of God?
I'm guessing that much like weeding out some arguments, it comes down to a strong sense of smell, metaphorically speaking.
Sorry to step in, NM, couldn't be helped.

that statement right their shows you do not understand what I am talking about
so
I will go real slow for you
is your finger you or part of you?
now
cut it off
now
are there two of you?
or
just a part that was once part of you
If you go any slower we could all be here til Christmas. :think:
It's a part of my body. Guess which one I'm holding up....that's right, my index finger, like Socrates...
I'm guessing this group thought he was going to hold up another one.
What, your nose need company? :shocked:
I think I speak for everyone here when I say I certainly hope not.
And is no more. It is a separate thing that I would not consider myself and cannot consider itself me.
If you agree with that our argument is about clarity. Mine was clear in that distinction between objects and yours wasn't, was open to a broader interpretation that went to being and consciousness.
Always happy to help a pal out. :e4e:

It's all over my barn boots...
Calling that God is blasphemous, not to mention yucky.
