Jilola, I'm sorry, I think your answers are incorrect.  But it was a great try though.  You still get a 100 points for trying.

I think monotheism may be another -- not sure. Isn't theism just the concept that some divine power created everything, then polytheism and monotheism narrows it down to one God or many.

How about Agnostism (Agnosticism?) Naaa, cancel that. I don't know that skepticism could be considered a world view.

My world view is a derivative of pantheism. I believe that God him/herself is the universe. This deity is a colective, iminent, and all encompasing entity. We are part of it, and our existence is for the purpose of self exploration of the whole. For the purpose of comparison, my world view differs from theism in its view of morality and of God's actual involvement with us. But in escence, I do not believe my views of the world are that different from theistic ones.

In the morality part: I believe that spirituality yields morality and not the other way around like some interpretations of theism, in which they believe that doing some things and not doing others will make people spiritual. Moral behavior is a conscequence of spirituality, not its cause.

And with respect of God´s involvemet with us, I believe that it is even closer to us than theism allows, since we are part of God, and not just his/her creations.

But these are just differences in form, but not of esscence. I also do not belive that any other view of the world is better or worse than mine. It is just the one that is right for my life experience.

Hi everyone

  I'm trying to remember all the different world views.  If I remember right there is

1) theism

2) deism

3) atheism

4) pantheism

5) panatheism

6) finite godism

7) polytheism


I believe one or two more.

Does anyone know the other couple?  Also some of you out there presently hold beliefs within one or more of the world views listed above.  For those of you who are knowledgeable on your particular world view could you explain it more in depth for the people who read this topic, and want to post reply posts?

For Example I believe in Theism:  Theism is a world view that believes one infinite God created this cosmos and any other cosmos that exists in any present reality anywhere at this point in time.  It also believes that all other worlds or cosmos that might come into existence will be created by this one infinite God.  There are presently 3 main vehicles in theism:  Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

Could others on this forum who are knowledgeable on the other world views please give their views on them?  Also if anyone wants to add to the definition of "theism" please feel free to do so.

Eventually once we get all the definitions of these world views, we can address the question more appropriately on whether all of them are mutually exclusive or not.
