Why Deism? Belief in God hit me like a ton of bricks!

 

How I Became a Deist

by Dennis K. Frey

Ever since I heard the story of Adam and Eve, I knew something was "wrong". I was born and baptized a Lutheran, married [and divorced] a Catholic, and always thought the Jews had it closer to right with the Old Testament.

Being a history buff, I decided to read 'Common Sense' by Thomas Paine and as luck would have it the book also contained 'The Age of Reason'. It was all right there before my very eyes. Every thing that I had doubted, every word that had been pounding in my brain for 50 years, every simple [yet profound] word of faith in the belief of God hit me like a ton of bricks. I was a Deist and didn't even know it!

I live in Tennessee which is the cradle of The Church of Christ and Baptism. To my closest friends, I have no problem confessing my beliefs. To the rest, discretion is the better part of valor. Having retired from the Defense Dept, war, violence, and fighting are in my DNA, but this is not the time to start another war, even of words. I believe winning converts to Deism will be more successful through Friendly Persuasion.

Today, my love of God is deeper than ever. The beauty of Nature's God, Truth, and Love are everything I need to be at peace with myself and to serve others. I do not need a Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Abraham, or whoever between me and God to know that I am truly blessed.

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!
