Theists believe there's not more than one God; Deists that there is not less than one God.' 'I'm afraid the distinction's too subtle for me.' 'Not for everyone; you'd be amazed at the bitter controversies it's aroused. Five centuries ago, someone used what's known as surreal mathematics to prove there's an infinite number of grades between Theists and Deists. Of course, like most dabblers with infinity, he went insane. But the way, the best-known Deists were Americans--Washington, Franklin, Jefferson.' " |

He detested organized religion on the ground that revelation could not be received secondhand. On that basis, he denounced the bible as mere hearsay. That he promoted his own deistic, disorganized religion didn't prevent me from unearthing information that I found generally useful. " |
