| In my introduction to Philosophy class we are reading David Hume's "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding." In class, today, my teacher was discussing Hume's non-belief in an:omnibenevolent, omniscient, and omnipotent diety. Automatically I thought of Open Theism to defend against his view, but I went blank. This is frustrating, because I have read God of the Possible a couple of times and would like to think myself of somewhat of an Open Theist. There were a lot of objections, raised by students, towards Hume's view, but the teacher had really good answers defending Hume. If Hume were here today, how would you explain Open Theism to him? Also, has the open view converted any atheistic philosophers who subscribe(d) to Davey's philosophy? Peace,
Faithful
