why do you have a claim regarding deism with Spinoza? If anything, Spinoza is the complete anti-thesis of a Deist.

Ye--you know lets just completely disregard vital distinctions made in Spinoza's ethics. However, if we do take that into account, it is just pseudo-intellectual semantics rather than being integral to Spinoza's whole fucking ontology regarding God as Being versus God as just another being. Kappa. Top Kek. Fucking pleb.

Deism says God is a distinct being that created the universe and then left. Spinozism says God is indistinguishable from the universe itself and can't leave because God IS the substantia of which reality itself is made.

I folded a piece of paper in half 500 times and it was only twice as thick as it was unfolded.

Then again, I unfolded between each fold.

Ah. I'm only familiar with Paine's musing on the subject, and he sounds rather Spinozist, as I recall. Hardly trinity style schism

How does the outlook and life of a diest differ from an agnosit athiest?

How does a mechanical/impersonal god meaningly differ from an absent one?
