Rational Theism

RE: Rational Theism
(May 1, 2018 at 7:22 pm)Khemikal Wrote: Why would rational theism be informed by magic book at all?  If that's what jumps out..when trying to determine how theism could be rational, then we might find it useful to remind ourselves that magic book's problems are magic books problem.  Not gods problem.

The god of classical theism so beloved by believing rationalizers..... was a pagan god, after all.

Because those who accept biblical theism as real do not accept fictional writings as real.

Umm, I think you're confusing classical with modern.
