Deism Websites are like Lighthouses

Both Enlighten and Direct Humans at Sea To Safe Havens

E-mail no. 46: Your Website Looks Like a Dim Lighthouse

I am Robert, a humble carpenter. Yesterday evening, at my computer, I checked Google's directory for two words: Religion and Deism. It discloses that religion is discussed in 3,770,000 places in multiple websites. Google also indicates that Deism appears in 70,600 places in various websites.

Someone has compared the Deism websites to lighthouses enlightening humans at sea about God. Deism directs these bewildered humans to a safe haven.

I noticed that Google's category of religion makes no mention of Deism. So anyone, who searches through Google's multimillion sites of religion gets no information about Deism.

I looked for references to your website in Google's list and found a couple deep down in the pile. Your chances of helping someone who is bewildered about God are dim and so is your lighthouse.

Why do you persevere in this effort? What stops you from turning off the light for good? 

Email no 47: My Website Dim or Bright Will Continue to Shine

Thanks for your message about my near hopeless effort to save people floundering at sea about God's existence and benevolence. 

I am grateful for Google's masterful mass of information about humans trying to understand what's up with God. I thank Google for not including Deism among the thousands of varying religions involving divine revelations and interventions and miracles and reputed infallible holy books. Deism has none of that. So it should not be included in the religion category.

I am also grateful that Google has put Robert Johnson's website regarding Deism in the first position of 70,600 items. On his home page Johnson highly recommends my book and website. There's a good chance that readers will visit my website for enlightenment. My website will be seen and my lighthouse will direct people at sea who wonder about God to a safe haven: namely, belief in God as revealed in nature's intelligent designs.

In that way, the Creator has shown His intelligence and existence for millions of years and there are no signs that He will end that revelation soon - perhaps only when the sun burns out in millions of years more. If the Creator won't stop revealing His existence to humans, why should I cease writing about It as long as I can? The ignorance or blindness of humans doesn't make that determination for God nor for me. Best wishes. Ray.
