Added DiffLines:

* YouCannotGrasptheTrueForm : Those who are somehow able to contact the mind of our Creator as it unconsciously underlies our Universe find that experience so incomprehensible that their tiny human minds automatically defend themselves by interpreting such encounters as intentional communications from culturally familiar conceptions of gods, thereby explaining all revelation and scripture.

Added DiffLines:

preferred nomenclature is the Creator, or the Deus

Added DiffLines:

** AGodAmI or AGodIsYou are also invoked, since everyone is part of nature - but since it's everyone, no one person is elevated above the rest as a result.
** [[InsultBackfire They say that as if it's a bad thing.]] Many Pandeists specifically object to using the word God, because everyone else expects it to have the personal, sentient meaning; the preferred nomenclature is the Creator, or the Deus.
