poking at believers and non-believers

I was listening to the Pacifica Station here in Houston yesterday. I normally don’t.  But as I was changing from FM1 down to AM, I had to punch through FM2 where 90.1 KPFT was playing.

It resonates with me in that although I consider myself a deist, I don’t have the intention of this being a resource for Deism.

My answer would be, “No.”

The reason I say no isn’t because I think God is infallible but because
