Anthony Flew

Anthony Flew, a philosopher who edited a favorite book of mine in college, "New Essays in Philosophical Theology", recently cause a stir by converting from atheism to deism.

I don't much care about this part of the debate; his "deity" is pretty unattractive and seems less carefully thought out than, say, Whitehead's deity. See the wikipedia entry on Process Theology for a good article on this.

But I am distressed by Flew's bigotry against Islam in the published interviews.
