Reply #4: It's my idea... [View All]

That Pantheism recognizes and celebrates the connections between people and between us and nature and celebrates nature in general.

"the central idea of the universe being an all-encompassing unity and the sanctity of both nature and its natural laws are found throughout. Some pantheists also posit a common purpose for nature and man, while others reject the idea of purpose and view existence as existing "for its own sake." - from wikipedia.


I can see where this would be an appealing concept because it focuses on the positives of life. The afterlife is not necessary for that.

Of course people could focus on the negatives of life, too (nature isn't all happy) - but it seems that that is not usually the case with these things. It may also encourage acceptance. That's what I'm thinking.
