The Athiest Thread

IF I THINK THE UNIVERSE WAS SET INTO MOTION BY SOMETHING THAT WASN’T NECESSARILY OF INTELLIGENT DESIGN, IS THAT BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN ATHEISM AND DEISM?


WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

Yeah, that's deist.

Yeah, that's deist.

THE DEFINITIONS OF DEISM I'M READING, HOWEVER, MAKE IT SOUND AS IF THE CREATOR IS STILL INTELLIGENT. I'M MORE INCLINED TO THINK WE ARE A FUNNY SORT OF ACCIDENT. ATHEISM IT IS, THEN.

I don't know, I'd say the important bit isn't the intelligence, but the creator part. Have never really cared enough to adopt any particular definition of deism though.
