The Deist...

Post Reply New Topic

What do people think of deism? if you don't know what i am talking about ask and someone will explain it better than me.

So, do you think deism is good? is it any different to theism? whats your opinion?

Look at new age/theosophy for an understanding of how active deism works. Its like having a buddhist structure, calling God the core of everything, and then saying that this entire universe is a learning/experience apparatus where everything is as it should be. In that sense that particular god's activity/passivity would be irrelevant because it would be both simultaneously.

AFAIK, deism is quite compatible with science, so I have no particular beef with it.

And apparently, deism reject the whole "in-errancy of scripture" argument. Bonus.
