[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"Tim: huh. I thought the more common view of atheism was that it represents the conscious rejection of all beliefs in the existence of a God (which doesn't imply a belief in the negation of the existence of one), whereas deists just deny the interference of a God (but not the existence of one) and agnostics don't reject any belief in the existence of a God but aren't committed to one either. At least, that's how I've always heard it defined."</blockquote> The definitions, as I understand it, and rather simplified, are : atheism : belief that there is/are no god(s) agnosticism : assumption that, whether there is/are (a) god(s) or not, we can't really tell, so there's no basis for a firm belief either way theism : belief that there is/are (a) god(s) because it says so in holy books and such deism : belief that there is/are (a) god(s) because it just seems like there ought to be [/QB][/QUOTE]
