the only religion proper to adhere to a form of atheism

sees God as both distinct form and dependent on the world at the same
time.
- Comes from the world, the world comes from God ; symbiotic
relationship.
- God is ultimate reality (panentheism literally means "all in God"). Because
our souls are our essence, which in turn are a part of the ultimate reality, we
are all a part of God, though we are not God.
- because the world is ever changing, God is also ever changing
- As our souls learn and grow, God becomes more powerful. God then
uses that power to create new things for us to learn. God is learning and
growing just as we are
- the universe , or God, has always existed and always will exist.
- God is always changing, He is finite and temporal, always lacking
something
- the ideas behind panentheism can be traced back to Plato and Socrates
A logical conclusion that is self refuting
