Theism, in the field of comparative religion, is the belief in the existence of deities. In popular parlance, the term theism often describes the classical conception of god(s) that is found in the monotheistic and polytheistic religions.
The term theism derives from the Greek theos meaning "god". The term theism was first used by Ralph Cudworth (1617–88). In Cudworth's definition, they are "strictly and properly called Theists, who affirm, that a perfectly conscious understanding being, or mind, existing of itself from eternity, was the cause of all other things".
Atheism is commonly understood as rejection of theism in the broadest sense of theism, i.e. the rejection of belief in a god or gods. The claim that the existence of any deity is unknown or unknowable is agnosticism.
Monotheism (from Greek μόνος) is the belief in theology that only one deity exists. Some modern day monotheistic religions include Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Baha'i Faith, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Eckankar and some forms of Hinduism.
Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. He held academic positions at both Oxford University (Magdalen College), 1925–54, and Cambridge University (Magdalene College), 1954–63. He is best known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.
Lewis and fellow novelist J. R. R. Tolkien were close friends. They both served on the English faculty at Oxford University, and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. According to Lewis' memoir Surprised by Joy, he was baptised in the Church of Ireland, but fell away from his faith during adolescence. Lewis returned to the Anglican Communion at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an "ordinary layman of the Church of England". His faith profoundly affected his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim.

This is a response to "God vs. Atheism: Which is More Rational?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T_P14JjMcM The first thing I have to point out is that it's not God vs atheism; it's theism vs atheism. God isn't involved in this because God doesn't exist. And it's not which one is MORE rational; it's which one is rational at all, and which one is wholly irrational. Some months ago, I said I wouldn't do any more pwnage videos because I wouldn't waste any more time responding to anyone who didn't have a significant negative impact on the community at-large. Then Dr. Peter Kreeft made a video attacking atheists with the same fallacious arguments typical of amateur trolls. He misrepresents both his own position and ours with the lies of equivocation and projection, by pretending that assumi...

C.S. Lewis: It must be understood that my conversion at that point was only to theism pure and simple. I knew nothing yet about the incarnation. The God to whom I surrendered was sheerly non-human. C.S. Lewis: [Reading from Chesterton] A great man knows he is not God and the greater he is, the better he knows it. The gospels declare that this mysterious maker of the world has visited his world in person. The most that any religious prophet has said was that he was the true servant of such a being. But if the creator was present in the daily life of the Roman empire, that is something unlike anything else in nature. It is the one great startling statement that man has made since he spoke his first articulate word. It makes dust and nonsense of comparative religion. C.S. Lewis: As I ...

When Jesus returns, will he come back with a vengeance? Is this a different Jesus then we see in the New Testament? These are the questions that Greg answers in this short sermon clip from his series about the book of Revelation. Many people see Jesus as coming back to this Earth as a roaring lion that will seek its vengeance upon our enemies. However, in the full sermon, Greg shows us how God's power is best expressed by a sacrificial lamb, and it will continue to be expressed that way in the future.

Sproul Jr. and James White, see http://opentheism.org/james-white. (To listen to the also popular safe-driving audio version, click http://youtu.be/XTgWMX0O5eY.) In a hurry? See the two-minute debate aftermath, stunning as it is, at http://youtu.be/zLiPpcqSKVQ and discussed at http://opentheism.org/james-whites-christological-heresy.
Is your religion (or atheism) true because you believe it or do you believe your religion because it's true? Can anyone, anywhere, make a legitimate claim that his or her beliefs are truly evidence based? On what basis can one believe in the existence or non-existence of God? Is there such a thing as absolute truth, or is truth relative? Why does belief matter, anyway? These questions and more demand nothing less than a fair and honest evaluation. In this compelling lecture, Dr. Pandit examines these questions and more. Subodh Pandit, M.D. was born and raised in India, amid the tremendous diversity of language, culture and religion of that populated country. He is an internal medicine physician and was for a time Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Oklahoma.

love never
gets back to you
and we try to avoid
to look at each other
when we smile
we are alone
at night in a quiet pool
we're just floating
but still
love is endless
and i can't find
a good excuse
i just smile
we are alone
at night in a cold pool
and we just drown
nobody can help us
nobody will answer
we'll just sink
but love never gives you
a previous sign
it will just
go away
and leave us
we are alone
at night in a cold pool
and we just drown
nobody can help us
nobody will answer
we'll just sink
nobody can help us
nobody will answer
we'll just sink
