the blurry line between theism and atheism

I know two people who have Schizoid Affective disorder, who hear voices. One only sometimes now , the other very mildly now that she has health insurance to get the medications she needs. There is also the phenomena known as Hypnagogia, where someone coming in and out of sleep will either have sleep paralysis or sometimes hallucinations, a fairly common experience.

Yes, my comment was a joke.

Still, hearing voices constitutes all the more reasons to seek professional help.
 
Pantheism is theism headed toward atheism as the history of thought after Spinoza shows.

The problem with pantheism is that it fails to separate cause and effect. God is meant to be cause. Without this separation, religion is pointless and atheism follows.

I am very religious. I define God as the combined forces of nature, including things like gravity, evolution, etc. These are cause.

I'm convinced that there is no supreme being and I don't believe in organized religion, but I do believe in natural law and I consider myself a pantheist. I see no evidence of ghosts but I don't rule out the possibility of spirits who are less than supreme. Am I an atheist or a theist?

A theist. Why would you even question that?
