The Difference Between an Angel and God, and Spinoza’s God
Question
Hello,
For the stars, nature, and angels (according to Maimonides), there is no free choice. If so, what is the difference between actions that God performs and actions that angels perform / that occur in nature (things that happen deterministically according to the laws of nature)?
And doesn’t this prove Spinoza’s God?
Answer
I also wear pants, and so do you. So what’s the difference between me and you? How did you get from here to Spinoza? If you want to discuss something, you need to present an orderly argument.
