Well, in many ways I seem to be considered somewhat heterodox within the Gnostic community, but not 'unacceptably' so.

I'm just a little confused -- I've never professed to being anything other than a monotheist -- so I'm wondering what it is about this particular post that makes you think it is anti-monotheist?

Ah, let me clarify that I do not believe in the "personal" God that many people believe in -- that is, an omniscient omnipotent God with will and intention. Instead my beliefs about God are best summed up in this post I made on Jan. 6.

The suggestion that natural laws do not exist certainly does argue against the "personal God," but not against the vaguely Taoist notion of God as ground-of-being.
