RE: Discussion of the Deism vs. Theism debate.

Were there no time constraints established? Have we lost contact with A Theist? If it is necessary and in agreeance by all of the moderators and debaters I suppose I could step in as a moderator and theist (despite my detest for debate) to at least further the discussion.

I've sent A Theist a PM to ask if he is all right. I doubt A Theist would just back away from a debate for no reason so I suggest we wait a while before we switch debaters unless DP wants to hurry this along?

I'm in no hurry and understand if the real world is demanding of A Theist's time. I just wanted to see if he was still with us and, if not, if someone else wanted to take his place.

leo no response from your PM? Shall we consider it closed and then start again?

Yes I did get a reply back. A theist has some matters far more important than this debate to take care of. He would like to continue but for the moment he can't.

well then I guess we'll just consider that a bump to keep it out of the old post closet

Since we're about 90 days since the last post, can the debate be opened to any theist to post? Christians or Muslims are welcome to do so.

You can take me for the debate as a last choice, which is, maybe I'll do it if none of the other theists want to do it.

I'm fine with a replacement. Perhaps Adrian can make the alterations?

Are there any other theists that want to step in?
