Whatever Happened to S.I.T?

[Zenith Darksea]

A while ago there was a group started to rival S.I.N, the Society of Intellectual Theists (S.I.T). Where exactly has this gone? Considering the degree of organisation that the atheists have, it would perhaps be wise for the theists to at least emulate them in that respect.

[Shaun]

Erm, maybe it died. You can always start a new one.

[Last Roman]

It was satan, he did it

[Publius]

I have a question about another group - the Carbonari - which died as well. This after received about 20 members and a seemingly strong base of support. But I guess 3 times isnt always the charm . . .

It was mauled by the Oxymoron monster.

No, it wouldn't. Stop encouraging them.

We're not organized, we are alittle atheists abit more unified you theists, so we tend to group together more. Mostly because we can all agree on most things, where as the "theist" group is more diverse in its beliefs.

How do you join S.I.T.

[Sétanta]

Say "I am now a member of S.I.T." and put it in your sig.

I used to have the line "Sexy Intellectual Theist" but dropped it after I put my massive poem in my sig instead.

Oh dear, looks like Albert Einstein wasn't that intellectual after all then

[MaximiIian]

What do you mean? Einstein was an agostic/atheist, but considered himself ethnically and culturally Jewish, though he didn't follow the jewish religion.

[Tostig]

No, he was a vague believer in an unpersonified deity, however definatly felt that society's traditional gods were too primitive for him in light of the standard models of cosmology and particle physics

[Tom Paine]

In effect therefore, he was a deist.

Ah, close enough.
I consider deism to be more of a philosophical point of view than a religious one.

[Turnus]

And Deists are accepted into S.I.N. so the oxymoron could still stand. Of course, most "intellectual theists" throughout history are experts in areas not related to theology or science, and so aren't intellectual as a result of being theists...

Deists are accepted into S.I.N? But... they believe in God!

I can join SIT and SIN! Cool.

No you couldn't, you can only ever join S.I.T, you are God, so therefore must be a Theist. Sort of.

Hw many non-theists were intellectuals as a direct result of being non-theists? CS Lewis, but then he reversed and became an intellectual due to theism.

God, they believe in a general non-revealed force. They are not theists in any way, and the Society is only called the Society of Intellectual Nontheists.

Society of Intellectual non-believers isn't it?

Deists = Belief in God, just not a Christian God.

So they shouldn't be allowed in...
