Spinoza, the Universe and Fundamentalists
If Spinoza and Bill W. are correct, with the God of Spinoza being the God of Einstein, then God is Pantheistic - meaning the Father is Being itself - which is what Moses is told at the Burning bush (I am who am). John, the Orthodox Counsels and Aquinas make Jesus the Son the Word by which the Universe was made - or rather how we know existence. This also make the Son a daughter - as Wisdom or Sophia (or Alita). This terms of Physics, the Son is the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Free will does not necessarily exist in Pantheism, at least as regards to what happens and the lack of blame for these things - that we design our life events with God before this incarnation and judge ourselves by how we make people feel. The knowledge of good and evil is really a human thing, not a divine thing. God is love, not judgement. We face both the Good and Evil we do to others in our life review. No indulgence or sacrament lets us off the hook for this process, although it is not torture because we do so in a Spirit filled way - with Her love to support us.
This brings up the topic of cheap grace. Maybe that is what was planned for the life course of those Fundamentalists, so we cannot blame them for who they are - it is ordained. Of course, they (and Catholic Traditionalists) are obsessed with sin, particularly the sins of others. Humankind cannot advance until we give up our obsession for the evil that others do. Until we get to that point, we are not housebroken enough to join a galactic society. Warp travel is not the yardstick, giving up Original Sin - the practice of hating others for their conduct - is how we are measured.
