Atheism and Anti-theism
Submitted by Anaxionus on April 16, 2007 - 7:06pm.Simply, 'not theism' or 'against theism.' In his Book XI of his City of God, Augustine makes interesting arguments concerning evil as a privation of that which is good; in other words, evil does not have substance (ontos). In the same way, anarchy is a privation of order, and atheism is a privation of the recognition of Theos. The best approach to protesting theism is to subscribe to anti-theism, but even that gives credence to the substantial claims of theism.
Very interesting.
