You must come to grips with the differences between a full blown Christianity and deism. Moving from deism to your beliefs is like trying to fly a plane to the moon. It cannot be done. Besdies, a distant God is no different than none at all. Deism, after all, is best describedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-42763737388254586962008-10-29T19:33:00.000-07:002008-10-29T19:33:00.000-07:00BK said:I have never personally seen him give even...BK said:<BR/><I>I have never personally seen him give even that much room for theism before....I think... is a major movement by Dawkins.</I><BR/><BR/>This is an argument of ignorance. Just because you personally have not seen him "give room" it does not mean there is a movement.

I understand that he is saying that he doesn't believe that it is true, but I have never personally seen him give even that much room for theism before.BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967809861892681780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-68631509146050929402008-10-26T16:29:00.000-07:002008-10-26T16:29:00.000-07:00Dawkins has alluded to this before, but the writer...Dawkins has alluded to this before, but the writer of the article does not seem to know that. If you listen to Dawkins' inverviews where he talks about Flew's conversion to deism, he occasionlly also talks about what could be bad and good reason to consider deism.<BR/><BR/>Note that the article says:<BR/><I>I asked Dawkins whether he had indeed changed his position and become more open to ideas Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636524117308077140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-2912782984350151282008-10-26T13:18:00.000-07:002008-10-26T13:18:00.000-07:00I just never knew that Dawkins was reasonable in t...I just never knew that Dawkins was reasonable in this regard, that's why it is so surprising for me at least. With Flew, I really didn't know much about him, so I didn't really think it was that big of a deal. But having seen Dawkins in various venues, I was just amazed to see him say a case could be made in any form at all for any kind of God. I thought he was far too stubborn to say anythingLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05454747871999481708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-62766432255405420752008-10-26T06:46:00.000-07:002008-10-26T06:46:00.000-07:00I'm going to say about this what I said about Anth...I'm going to say about this what I said about Anthony Flew, which is to adapt a line from Chris Rock about the OJ verdict:<BR/><BR/>Christians too happy, Atheists too mad.<BR/><BR/>Saying that a "SERIOUS case COULD be made for a deistic god," while no doubt a stunning admission from Dawkins, is hardly an admission of belief in such a god, and, if read closely, doesn't even state that he thinks Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578877429793660591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-5951182159025467382008-10-25T20:01:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:01:00.000-07:00Wow is right ... that is an absolutely startling a...Wow is right ... that is an absolutely startling admission by Dawkins. I wonder how all of his fanboys are reacting to it.
