A spin-off of Percy's I Am Not An Atheist! topic.
Setting aside most or all of what is in the above cited message and topic, I have one question: Isn't it a mighty fine line between deist and atheist? I think so.
This is NOT to be any sort of "the failings/evils of atheism" topic. The topic theme is the distinction between deist and atheist.
Faith and Belief forum, I presume.
