Theism Quotes

The opposite of theism is not atheism, it's idolatry Picture Quote #1

Atheism is the last word of theism Picture Quote #1

Don’t set out to teach theism from your natural history... You spoil both Picture Quote #1

The only theism worthy of our respect believes in God not because of the way the world is made but in spite of that. The only theism that is no less profound than the Buddha's atheism is that represented in the Bible by Job and Jeremiah Picture Quote #1

The struggle against atheism is foremost and of necessity a struggle against the inadequacy of our own theism Picture Quote #1

Nothing in our politics is any longer driven or designed by individual humans who have a name and a face; we have sunk from theism into impersonal and depersonalizing deism, a scheme of rule by alien and implacable abstract metaphysical forces Picture Quote #1

I am not here to merely argue about the perplexities regarding theism or philosophy, but to be a light to the world and to reach out to those who long to be a part of that light Picture Quote #1

It turns out that the word atheism means much less than I had thought. It is merely the lack of theism Picture Quote #1

When I hear that a friend has fallen into matrimony, I feel the same sorrow as if I had heard of his lapsing into theism Picture Quote #1

Modernist discourse [...] incorporates semantic devices - such as the labeling of theism as ‘religion’ and naturalism as ‘science’ - that work to prevent a dangerous debate over fundamental assumptions from breaking out in the open Picture Quote #1

Contemporary movies just drive me crazy. The violence and the sentimentality and the spiritual materialism and Theism and the incredible indulgence in ignorance is so claustrophobic Picture Quote #1

I don’t endorse deism or interventionist theism. My point is just that evolutionary biology is logically compatible with the former and with some versions of the latter Picture Quote #1

This is not to deny that there are versions of theism that do conflict with evolutionary biology. Young Earth Creationism is an example; it claims that God created life on earth within the past 10,000 to 50,000 years. But other types of theism are different Picture Quote #1

Our English language really says if you’re not a theist, the only alternative is to be an atheist. What I’m trying to do is develop a language that will enable us to talk about God beyond the, what I think, are sterile categories of theism and atheism Picture Quote #1

Theism, however, teaches that not only is there a moral universe but there is an absolute standard by which all moral judgments are measured. God himself-his character of goodness (holiness and love)-is the standard Picture Quote #1

The difference between theism and nontheism is not whether one does or does not believe in God. . . Theism is a deep-seated conviction that there’s some hand to hold: if we just do the right things, someone will appreciate us and take care of us. . . Nontheism is relaxing with the ambiguity and uncertainty of the present moment without reaching for anything to protect ourselves Picture Quote #1
