Marmalade thanks for the post, maybe people will get a better understanding of pantheism.
Romansh, sorry not Marmalade but from what I've gathered, pandeism is a more theistic approach. It has many shared beliefs of pantheism except it is the belief that a God created the Universe just like deism. In pantheism God is described as the Universe and everything in it and the Universe was not created by a God.
From Wikipedia:
Pandeism
Pandeism is a kind of naturalistic pantheism, holding that the universe is an unconscious and nonsentient God, but also that God was previously a conscious and sentient force or entity that designed and created the universe. In pandeism, God only became an unconscious and nonsentient God by becoming the universe. Other than this distinction (and the possibility that the Universe will one day return to the state of being God), pandeistic beliefs are identical to the above pantheistic beliefs.
