Spinoza was a famous Dutch philosopher with some pretty far-out ideas. At a young age he was cast out of his family home for having heretic opinions about religion. Not many people know this but he was actually taken in by a group of Wargs and was taught the ways of the universe.

Spinoza is most well-known for his belief that there is only one substance, that being God. Hardly anyone remembers this now, but Spinoza actually thought that that one substance, that God, was a Warg.

This thought appears strange, even to me. However, its a fascinating topic. Although, as a general thought, we tend to imagine our Gods in the shape of Men. I think this is most strange and egocentric of us. Why shouldn't God be a Warg?
