Hi,

I'm a lurker on the list (de-lurking).
Mechanical Engineering Student at
the University of Minnesota.

I have a question regarding Deism (prompted by the
postings of Craig Rusbult).

Can anyone think of any positive aspects of deism which
theism doesn't have..including arguments people
have used in history?

That is, reasons different from the standard pejorative:
"It puts God way out there so that we don't have to
obey his commands"?

Just curious.

Thanks

Sho
