This is the first time I've noticed that Deism has a totally separate heading in the "Theological Concepts" section! Yay!

Hopefully this will foster a bit more Deistic dialogue on RF!

Nikki, no disrespect, but are you actually aware that Deism involves a God who made the Universe then took off to a realm totally unconnected to ours and has no interest in our affairs @ all? I mean, this being the case, what theology is there to discuss?!

Deism is a result of 19th century intellectual discursion resulting in turn from the European Enlightenment a few centuries earlier. How on earth did you get into it?

i found the part in red contrary to the rest of your post.

i do not know wnough about deism to comment on the validity of your claims, but if there is a section for Deist theology, i'm sure it exists.

I am only asking what subject matter for discussion she wishes to foster. HOW is this disrespectful?!

Also, I was the only one who had the decency to reply to her OP. You're way off the mark this time, Mike182.

sorry, i read your comment of "how on earth did you get into this?" as being derogatory, if it was not, then i appologise.

*ponders this* In retrospect, he could have been remarking about it being under the theology subforum?

Not @ all, in fact, I'm amazed in a very positive way that anyone would have the courage to adopt the Deist position here on RF when there are so few knowlegable enough to talk on the subject. Luckily, I can, so when Nikki is back on I look forward to hearing her thoughts on it.
