If God cannot be anthropomorphized (and I agree with this), than we need to stop saying God sees, God thinks, God wills, God posseses, God determines, etc.,.. Maybe even God is not a thing and therefore cannot exist in the way that things exist.
I really enjoyed this video, brother, thank you. Great ideas and explanations. I hope you got a good grade and the extra credit too! and that your contemplations lead you to happiness.
How can the idea of a spoon exist when no one is thinking about it? I guess that God can constantly think about spoons but that's just a possibility. The possibility of a spoon will always exist without a spoon, but the idea of a spoon is another matter. Still, I think the video has a cool concept behind it.
who are you to say what god thinks? how arrogant haha

This is quite good. Please see the epilogue in Kenneth Burke's Rhetoric of Religion

Spinoza was a Taoist but just didn't know it. :-)

Isn't this rather a platonistic view of idealism?^^
