  1. Answers to these, for anyone who wants them to study for the exam:

    1. God and the Universe
    2. Spinoza. He said there can only be one infinite thing
    3. Solely the idea he held of what a God is
    4. Circle. A flat Circle...so dumb. But sorta makes sense
    5. Alan Watts, if you still haven't yet, you should check
    him out. He's super interesting.
    6. This one probably won't be on the exam because there
    was some debate on whether he actually was or not. I,
    as well as a few others think his beliefs do line up
    with Deism, however Dr. Oliver believes he is a
    Pantheist. This could also be a type of essay
    question, though, if that's something he's interested
    in putting on the test. Would be kinda fun to try,
    like a little gimme. Idk, just a thought.
