MP:
To the first: Yes, when speaking of theism in its most inlcusive definition I have 
found that in here it is necessary to keep using "g*d" (no caps) as a word to 
describe a god absent cultural layering being the focus of the belief invested in 
the definition of theism in that regard. I seem to not be able to convince some 
here that the word "theism" *can* be used this way, that it is *not* a four letter 
word. 



MP: IMO, it depends entirely on the definitions of "theism", "knowledge" and 
"determine" being agreed upon ... My experience here so far would lead me to 
be hesitant to answer what appears to be an otherwise straightforward question 

Ron quotes:
Theism, in its most inclusive usage, is the belief in at least one deity.[1][2] Less inclusive usages specify that the deity believed in be a distinct identifiable entity-wiki

Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world.
-dictionary

The belief in a supernatural eternal being which created the universe. Its lineage rationally may be
traced From Parmenides, Plato, Plontious, to Aquintas. Its fallacy is the belief in entity-ship. The mother
of SOM, so, in large part theism, is viewed as the root of the fundemental problems we face today
here on this forum, some will see this as a dirty word. Now mysticism is at the core of every
theisitic belief, and this is where we share your insight.
