Islam and Pantheism...

Well, it depends on the pantheist.

Some adhere to what Dawkins calls "sexed up atheism." The material universe = God. No mysticism, no worship, no nothing. I don't really get the point of that, myself.

Others believe there's an underlying, unified consciousness. In this case, worship is more a celebration of the greater whole than anything else.

Then you have panentheists, like me. I believe the material cosmos is God's body. For me, worship is, like the second kind of pantheist, celebration. It's about expressing love and awe.

I think the uni/multi-verse = God. I don't really see the need for me to worship it. I'm not really into mysticism, but I did have a mystical experience once. I think we exist because God wanted to experience itself.

I get not worshiping. :)

What confuses me is having the exact same worldview as the typical atheist and calling it God.

I think I'll start a thread on that, rather than derail this one, though. ETA: Done. "Sexed-Up Atheism"
