	Pantheism
		Pantheists, like theists, tend to be "moral realists." They believe it is an objective fact that some kinds of actions are ethically right and others wrong, and what is right and wrong is independent of what any person thinks is right and wrong.
		Pantheists also have recourse to numerous philosophical sources-Spinoza etc. But, the pantheist is not without alternatives to the scripture and discourse theists have at their disposal.
		Pantheistic worship might naively be thought to be a kind of self-worship; worshipping something of which one is a part or identified with.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pantheism
		Emanationism may easily take on a pantheistic meaning and as pointed out in the Encyclical "Pascendi dominici gregis", the same is true of the modern doctrine of immanence.

		The pantheist who is careful to speak in accordance with his thought simply refrains from putting his philosophy into practice.

	AN INTRODUCTION TO PANTHEISM
		Pantheists will ask whether it is not better to rely on the possibility of such imperfect immortality, for which there is good evidence, than on the idea that the soul can be detached from everything material and attain perfect immortality.
		Pantheists are clearly quite impressed by beauty in nature, and infer from this beauty that nature itself is worthy of our reverence and respect.
		And pantheists will generally deny this, because it would require that the divine universe has or is a single mind, and that would amount to saying that the universe is a divine person, an idea most modern pantheists would prefer to abandon.

	Religious Movements Homepage: Scientific Pantheism
		Pantheists also believe that the universe is its own creator, and thus eternal, since it includes all space and time.
		When Pantheists "pray," therefore, they are actually worshipping and meditating to themselves, nature, and in a natural setting within this all-encompassing, omnipotent entity that we commonly refer to as "the universe." Everything is a part of nature and is made up of the same substance.
		In other words, Pantheistic views free people of the fear of death because it acknowledges and affirms that there is a reunion with nature, the cosmos, and humanity's divine mother upon death.

		Most Pantheists bear the symbol of their patron, either as a pendant or as embroidery upon their clothing, although some also add the symbols of any other gods whose favor they desire, and a few wear the symbols of all the gods, just in case.
		Pantheists tend to be open-minded, accepting new ideas as just another part of the Gods' world they didn't know about before, and they are tolerant of other religions.

		Like other pantheists, pagans too believe that divinity is manifested everywhere, yet they are distinctive in that they relate to whatever they conceive of as God primarily through nature.

		Modern pantheists are not generally polytheistic and do not believe in magic or disembodied spirits of any sort.

	Why Do Pantheists Meet Together? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Since some of our memories and impressions of the “church” experience are negative, the idea of joining, or forming a group, may conjure up visions of group prayers and meditations, long hours of listening to someone else expound about what they believe or what we should believe, and so on.
		Pantheists also tend to be individualists and independent thinkers, so to appeal to them through a hierarchical dogmatic organisation would be foolish.
		Third, to create a network of Pantheist “facilitators” who will be able to perform legal weddings and funerals, so that Pantheists will be able to have ceremonies that harmonise with their beliefs, instead of being forced to use the priests of other religions or to have a straight civil ceremony.

	Are You a Pantheist? (Promo) Anjula Razdan
		Believing that the universe itself is divine, pantheists have no use for a personal, anthropomorphic God, much less supernatural realms like heaven and hell.
		Although pantheistic philosophy dominated antiquity, influencing everything from Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism to Western philosophies like Stoicism, Neoplatonism, and Epicureanism, it was eclipsed for some 1,200 years by the spread of Christianity and Islam.
		The organization now has more than 2,000 members and anticipates that there are millions upon millions of pantheists out there who just don’t know there is a name—or group—for their beliefs.

	Pantheism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Most Pantheists don't believe in an afterlife in a supernatural manner, but death itself is part of the divine natural cycles of the Universe.
		Natural/Scientific Pantheists don't believe in a god, so to speak, but that nature itself, as a magnificent, almost magical, awe-inspiring creator and destroyer, is to be revered.
		However, this does not mean that a Pantheist doesn't necessarily recognize "seperate" gods or spirits; they are merely considered to be recognizable, personified parts of the one Spirit.

	Pantheism Section Of FAQ Misrepresents Pantheism Trene Valdrek (Reply) (7-00)
		My biggest problem is how you label all Pantheists as "they." You seem to alternate between "some pantheists" and just "pantheists." Pantheism is more complex than "thinking of the universe as a god" and there are Scientific Pantheists, Pagan Pantheists, etc. I think you should preface your Pantheism section with a clearer definition.
		I am not a Pantheist, because I don't want to be an Atheist and I have lost count of the number of times I have defended Atheism on various message boards.
		Thus, contrary to the claims of some pantheists, an additional "reverence" for the planet (or the universe) is not needed.

		She looked puzzled and I realized that she wasn't familiar with the term pantheist.
		Well an atheist is a person who believes there is no god, while a pantheist believes that god is present in everything.
