Walt Mandell

Ohio Area Pantheist

Walt Mandell

Walt is a retired psychiatrist who lives with three dogs in NE Ohio, in a house in the woods perched above a small river. He is an amateur glass artist and a student of psychopharmacology, and loves outdoor activities.

He was raised (Reform) Jewish but by age 12 decided he was an agnostic. Influenced by Taoism, and by Thoreau's Walden, he recently thought of himself as an atheist, but he felt that the reverent attitude he had to the universe could only be called religious. Walt Whitman's phrase 'Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.' sums up his view.

When he came across Scientific Pantheism he realized it was a religion that fitted his interests, values, beliefs, and emotional-religious response to the universe. He looks forward to helping Scientific Pantheism to become a religion in every good sense, without becoming a religion in any of the more objectionable, irrational, prejudiced, doctrinaire, life denying, rigid, repressive ways that most other religions adopt.
