Hi Ham, > Hope you don't mind if I jump in. The more I listen to the arguments for anti-theism, the more I am convinced that it is a knee-jerk reaction. The notion of anti-theism whatever it may mean to the individual may be a phrase to give credibility to MOQ. I do not think that such a thing is needed, however, there seems to be such distaste against anything religious by the so called intellectuals that I can see its rhetorical use. I believe that MOQ and Theism can live side by side without any difficulty. A theist can subscribe to MOQ and the other way around. My dialogue with dmb is simply to promote awareness of my understanding of Theism, and perhaps harmonize it with his understanding of MOQ. The emotional bent may make this an inconsequential debate.
As you perhaps say, the term anti-theism has no value to me. The interpretation of such can be misleading and miss the point. It is not whether MOQ is against Theism, that does not define. It is whether MOQ is of value. Just my opinion, of course, Mark So what do you think, Matt? Is the MoQ, absolutely anti-theistic?
