Why Deism? I am not alone.

 

How I Became a Deist

by Charles McQuaid

I have been searching for a lot of years for an answer of just exactly what I believed in.  I knew I was not an atheist so my next best choice was agnostic.  But that didn't do a good job of describing my beliefs either.  So I just told folks that I believed in God, I just did not believe what man told me about him.  I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic schools.  Early on the nuns instilled the idea that I had to have faith to explain the unexplainable.  Later, however, the Jesuits did too good of a job on me and actually taught me how to think. I read Common Sense in high school but it never occurred to me to read The Age of Reason and now I wonder about that because Common Sense was great.
 
But I have been so alone in my beliefs - I could not even tell anyone what they were because I did not understand them myself.  Now I can tell people what they are - someone else (apparently a lot of someone elses) have had them for a very long time and have done a great job of writing about them.  I have a lot of reading to do - as well as a lot of thinking - and I am really truly looking forward to learning - and developing into the entity that God intended me to be.
 
Now that my searching has been rewarded I can go forward a much happier and fulfilled person - I understand so much more about myself now than I ever did before.  It is like a ton of weights have been lifted off my shoulders.
  
Thank you for existing -

Both Democratic candidates promote the nonsense of the Bible!
Hilary Clinton says, "I think the whole Bible is real." So she believes in the talking donkey (Numbers 22:28), that any nation that will not serve Israel should "be utterly wasted" (Isaiah 60:10-12), among many other ridiculous claims! Based on the blank check both Democratic and Republican politicians give to Israel, it appears they're all strong believers in the Hebrew Bible!

Barack Obama gave a speech in which he used the genocidal maniacs, Moses and Joshua, as great examples to be followed! It's pathetic and dangerous when in this nuclear age politicians still cling to the insanity found in the Bible, Torah and Koran! Here are just two examples to demonstrate that Moses and Joshua were murderous butchers. Deuteronomy 2:34 in which Moses brags about killing "men, women and the little ones", and Joshua 6:21 which says the Hebrews "utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword."  How Obama can think this is good is beyond reason!
At least 50 people were blinded due to religious superstition!
50 people who believed there was an image of the fictional virgin Mary on the sun were blinded due to looking directly at the sun while trying to see the image! Our God-given reason is the only thing that will protect us from such ignorance and superstition - if we decide to use it!
