Although Flew now believes in a Deist God, he does NOT believe in an afterlife. Therefore, to Frey there is no real cosmic benefit for his change of heart. What he did becomes even more important.

Atheists cannot claim the 81 year old Frey was just hedging his bets.

Frey was a MAJOR non believer. His works are (were) quoted on atheistic web sites as their Holy Writ. His defection is a large philisophical loss.

No, we just claim -- and rightly so -- that the alleged 'conversion' of Flew has been blown out of proportion.

Until yesterday, I had never heard of Antony Flew. My athiesm is not based upon the alleged 'holy' writings of any philosopher, it is based on the fact that thus far I remain unconvinced regarding the existence of deities.
