Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.
Peter KreeftNow if the religious skeptic is right, we can know nothing about God. And if we can know nothing about God, how can we know God so well that we can know that he cannot be known? How can we know that God cannot and did not reveal himselfโand perhaps even through human reason?
