It sounds like you have a good knowledge of that sort of thing - thanks.

So I had to read up on the “god of Spinoza”. (I was thinking it was another actual god - something akin to the Spagetti Monster!)

Turns out that it refers to “Baruch Spinoza, one of the greatest philosophers of his day, who was expelled from the Amsterdam synagogue in 1656 because of his unorthodox religious views.”

The little reading that I did on him - his views aren’t so far out there.

Oh - and apologies to Albert - for thinking he thought there was an actual “God of Spinoza”. (NOW who is the dumb one!!??)
