It appeared that you were suggesting the "God 1.0/2.0" notion had something to do with classical theism, which made no sense. Guess not, huh? Maybe you could have been a little clearer that they were unrelated and you were just lumping them together in a single post.
And you couldn't be more seriously mistaken about classical theism being a position held by "a very few people in history." It's actually been the mainstream theological position throughout history and has only recently gotten some competition from theistic personalists and some other flavors or theism. Classical theism is not associated with any one religion, but rather is the basis for the theology of many religions, including those of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic traditions and several Eastern traditions as well. << Ooooopsie yourself. These religions are comprised of Personalistic Theists. >> Very few people in history held the position of classical theism which is impersonalistic theism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_theismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_theism > Um.
