I dont overcome the absurdity of life.
It is, on the evidence presented, absurd.

The guy got his definitions mixed up. He's talking about Pantheism, Spinozism or suchlike. The idea that everything is God. There is no conscious entity governing the universe in any way.
You, I, your computer, the rat thats probably about 10 metres from you, that bit of moldy cheese in the fridge, the dog star, electromagnetism, the sweat under your old physics tutor's armpits (they were always really sweaty, coffee breathed induvviduals, weren't they?) everything. It's all God.
It's a perfectly defensible position, if you take the leap of faith in moving from one act of creation to two; i.e. 1. Creation of the deity and 2. Creation of the universe according to the specs of that conscious or unconscious deity.
Myself? I apply Occam's Razor.
