Personally, I would not wish to waste the last years of my life advocating that they teach lies and myths to children. Flew now advocates the teaching of “Intelligent Design” in the UK, too.

Atheist toleration does not extend to former atheists.

No nimrod, atheist toleration does not extend to former atheists when former atheists start spewing Darwin’s deathbed conversion nonsense — as Flew has done.

“Atheist toleration does not extend to former atheists.” was from the article.

The truth of the matter is Anthony Flew had a change of heart at the end of his long life. With life’s lessons and experiences behind him, he became a theist…

In an attempt to ignore what he might be trying to teach you, you make a statement that he was really a “deist”…

One could make the argument that you are really a deist from a comment you made several months ago…

“We don’t know everything, but we know enough to say there is no God”…

At least he was honest enough to admit he could not falsify christianity…

And from one of your own sites…

http://www.secweb.org/index.aspx?action=viewAsset&id=138

There will no doubt be at least one comment stating he became an old kook or began to suffer from Alzheimer’s or something…

It’s to bad so many on this board have such closed minds that they can not look at his life and try to learn from the wisdom that life taught him…

It speaks volumes how so many have thrown Flew under the bus, since he changed his views, much the same way so many Sam Harris supporters decided to discredit him ever since he spoke his mind last weekend…
