We only need to post and the usual suspects respond with their usual mantras. That you need to invent some ulterior purpose is amusing.
You tell us...what kind of "motive" is there that constrains someone to put up 5 posts a day for 6 years, to insult and bash the beliefs of people sharing the various Religious concepts they embrace...on a forum titled "Religion and Spirituality"?
Don't get me wrong...my twisted sense of humor finds that totally off-the-wall aspect of this board to be very interesting and amusing...and, in fact, a main attraction to it.

This is my take on Pantheism (which I only heard of recently)
Believers couldn't provide the slightest scintilla of evidence to support the existence of a god, so they simply re-invent/define "god" as to be "everything".
The problem is, and it is a fatal-defect, that definitions aren't evidence of existence (Santa has a definition, but nonetheless is nonexistent). This applies equally to definitions that equate the defined entity to be everything.
Definitions simply aren't evidence, no many how many rabbit-holes one scurries down in an attempt to equate the two. Those that attempt to do so are not only fools, but insult the intelligence of those they try and fail to convince with their foolish malarkey.

Believers are not a monolithic group minus the exception of acknowledging Higher Power(s).

IMHO, the highest power is truth, and believers, in their beliefs, have NONE. BTW, acknowledging fiction, is no more "truth" than fiction is "truth:. Both are false at best.
FYI, I never said, implied or intended to imply that I think believers are a monolithic group.

You seem unaware that the concept of Reality as God predates human history, so it is not a new invention or redefinition. All the religious hokum represent the new redefinitions. You seem willing to IGNORE the undeniable fact that Reality is the reason everything exists, everything that is created, establishes the chemical and physical laws that govern, control, and maintain all the processes, including the creation of life, consciousness, and evolution. Why that is NOT enough to have the status of God relative to us puny creatures is beyond me. But you must have a very good reason for thinking so. Please explain it to me, Salty.

I do hope the punch line is good?
You are right HD.. it is a joke...just not how you imply.
But, how would I know? I'm here discussing my Pantheist beliefs relative to my perception and belief in God. I also accept any other Theist beliefs that others may have...and take no issue of them discussing it, or even if they would prefer that everyone embraced their ideology.
I figured you could tell us...based upon your extensive direct experience.
