Deus otiosus or idle god is a theological concept used to describe the belief in a creator god who largely retires from the world and is no longer involved in its daily operation, a central tenet of Deism . A similar concept is that of the deus absconditus or hidden god of Thomas Aquinas Weber 220 . Although Aquinas was a Catholicism Catholic and not a Deism deist , both his concept of the hidden god and the concept of the idle god refer to a deity whose existence is not readily knowable by humans through solely contemplation or examination of divine actions. The concept of deus otiosus often suggests a god who has grown weary from involvement in this world and who has been replaced by younger, more active gods, whereas deus absconditus suggests a god who has consciously left this world to hide elsewhere. In Sumer, Enlil and Enki are the younger gods who replace the deus otiosus Anu An Eliade 57 . In Greek religion, the older gods like Uranus mythology Uranus and Gaia mythology Gaia are replaced by the Olympians Zeus and Hera . In Hinduism, in many medieval purana s , Indra appears as a deus otiosus , whereas Shiva and Vishnu are the younger, more active gods who are both more readily knowable and approachable. In the Baltic mythology Deivas most probably was deus otiosus . ref http www.crvp.org book Series04 IVA 17 chapter iv.htm Chapter Iv Bot generated title ref In Christianity, Martin Luther used the notion of deus absconditus to explain the mystery and remoteness of God. ref http www.iep.utm.edu l luther.htm . ref See also Deism Incarnation References reflist Eliade, Mircea. 1978 .

Egotheism is the deification of man s own conceptions of God , or the belief that man s conception of God is all that men can ever know of God. This position presupposes the impossibility of divine revelation and thus is a denial of the validity of faith and most theistic traditions, except for deism.

Morgan was first a dissenter preacher, then a practicer of healing among the Quakers , and finally a writer. The first volume of The Moral Philosopher appeared anonymously in the year 1737.
