I am gonna stick to putting philosophy in this sub, I guess. I'm also at the 15 sub limit.
Yay! It means I have an excuse to not make more subs.

Among the boldest elements of Spinoza’s philosophy is his conception of God. The God of the Ethics is a far cry from the traditional, transcendent God of the Abrahamic religions. What Spinoza calls “God or Nature” lacks all of the psychological and ethical attributes of a providential deity. His God is not a personal agent endowed with will, understanding and emotions, capable of having preferences and making informed choices. Spinoza’s God does not formulate plans, issue commands, have expectations, or make judgments. Neither does God possess anything like moral character. God is not good or wise or just.
This is why I cannot stand debating modern, disingenuous Christians. They poster that this is how Christianity has been since it's inception, or that it is a widely held view within the current Christian communities.
The Christians who actually believe in Spinoza's take on god can throwaway the bible and even the title of "christian" itself. They contradict each-other.
