Two questions:
Does that mean you your self are leaning a little deist?
Are you the same Pops who'd gotten swept up in some religious predictions?
Don't mean to put you on the spot or embarrass you. I think quite a few of us felt some real fondness for you and were wishing you hadn't painted yourself into that corner.
There are and have been members who were deists. I myself can allow 'gods' exist; I just don't think any of them created everything or have the power to impose an afterlife even if they wanted. So I don't go for any supernaturalism in gods. If they're going to have any reality at all, they're just going to have to make it in the real world the same way we do. Of course, you might wonder if God is so little why even bother? But to my mind, it is only a very little, nearly powerless, entirely personal god which could possibly command my respect or interest.
I gotta change my tag from agnostic to gnostic.
