Theists are a minority in Europe, deists on the rise.
I just realized something:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism Even though atheists are still a small minority, deists are a very big one as well, meaning theists are getting scarce. And the figures on that page are 6 years old, meaning they probably have progressed since. Follow-up question: is there anything wrong or dangerous with deism ? |

A god who doesn't communicate, left no messages, has no morals...
Nope, don't see how it could have any normativity. |

I just don't think fr0d0 has a clue what normativity is.

Quote:Theists are a minority in Europe, deists on the rise. Wait a minute.....Deists ARE theists. If they weren't, they'd be atheists. All you need to be a "theist" is a belief in a ridiculous god. |

As opposed to the non ridiculous ones? - Let's face it, that's a complete tautology  Deism is explicitly non-religious and impersonal, that's what counts when evaluating it's possible harm, which was the question Rwandrall asked. I'd rather see all 'personal god' theists become deists than vice verse. |

Ask the King of England what happens when Deists get together and make plans on the other side of the Atlantic. |
