"I'm thinking of a God very different from the God of the Christian and far and away from the God of Islam, because both are depicted as omnipotent Oriental despots, cosmic Saddam Husseins. It could be a person in the sense of a being that has intelligence and a purpose, I suppose." --Anthony Flew
That's still a long way from being a Christian, or believing in an afterlife. He would describe himself as a "deist," the same religious generalization prefered by Thomas Jefferson.

I did read Dan Barker's Book. I read Flews comments about why he converted to Deism and was unimpressed. I am not sure why Christians would bring up Flew anyways since he is hardly a Christian.

Nope, why would I? I've read through others and try to stay current on christian apologetics. Basically I've seen most, if not all of the arguments and they are not compelling. I also was a Christian to begin with.

With a minister father and a religious schooling (Saint Faith's) it might be more interesting to point out that he is somehow not a christian rather than not an atheist.

Yeah...the guy is a Deist now. He still thinks Christians are wacky. Why are you so quick to claim this guy? Have YOU actually read it?

No.
Have you read the book "Losing Faith in Faith" by Dan Barker?
