John Lowell Needs His A Game

John Lowell writes
JL) Just a little hint, son. You need to drop the term “theist” when speaking of Christians. Christians aren’t theists, we are trinitarians and that you’re not aware of that difference is striking (JL

theism n. belief in god or gods: belief in the existence of a god or gods

theism n. belief in the existence of a god or gods ; specifically : belief in the existence of one God viewed as the creative source of the human race and the world who transcends yet is immanent in the world

theism n. belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world

theism n. in theology and philosophy, the belief in a personal God. It is opposed to atheism and agnosticism and is to be distinguished from pantheism and deism (see deists). Unlike pantheists, theists do not hold God to be identical to the universe. Like deists, they believe that God created the universe and transcends it; unlike the deists, they hold that God involves himself in human affairs.

“Just a little hint, son.” If you want to debate religion with me, you should first check out http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/brian_holtz/ and http://holtz.org/Writings.html#Atheism.

Then bring your A game. You’ll need it.
