Hartshorne's father rejected the notion that God determines every detail of the universe—an absurdity, he felt, that leads to a quagmire of absurd defenses of evil and suffering.
Hartshorne diverged from Whitehead and Pierce in conceiving God's relation to the cosmos as analogous to the relation of a person to the cells of his or her body.
Hartshorne assuredly expressed the spirit of Unitarians in his advocacy of freedom and reason and in his suspicion that exclusive loyalty to any book, church, or person is idolatrous.
