RevDrMatthewFox#JulianofNorwich: "We are in God and God whom we do not see is in us." Where #theism says "we are here & God is out there someplace," #panentheism names the nearness of God, we in God and God in us, like the fish in the water & the water in the fish. That is how God operates. bit.ly/453ossb

It can be shown that the set of omniscient beings is empty using the sentence:
This sentence isn’t known to be true by any omniscient being.
Since some religions hinge on omniscient being existing, this sentence shows the fallacy involved in those religions.

A key difference, between theistic religions and Buddhism, is, if G-d created us, then there can be experiences we cannot handle (drug addiction, lust, etc) and about which we must ask for help. But, if beings are mind-made (manomayā, Dhp 1), then we never 'need help'.

Robin Williams, In His Own Words About Suicide
Throughout history, monotheism has usually been a geopolitical construct, more than a spiritual reality. Ask an AI this: describe the historical progression of how Yahweh and Allah (Al-Ilah) changed from polytheistic to henotheistic to monolatristic to monotheistic.

WIST QuotationsA quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
I doubt that anyone does not really believe in God. People may think they don’t have any belief, but you will usually find that somewhere down in a human being’s soul there is a belief in something beyond himself. In any case, I would not judge a man’s character by his belief or unbelief. I would judge his character by his deeds; and no matter what he said about his beliefs, his behavior would soon show whether he was a man of good character or bad.Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1956-08), “If You Ask Me,” McCall’s Magazine, Vol. 83
