Why Deism? I have always thought "God Is" and that is enough.

 

How I Became a Deist

by Eddie

I have always thought "God Is" and that is enough.  I really  didn't "evolve" into anything special.  I grew up in the Methodist Church, participated in many of the activities,  the choir, the young people's groups, etc.  I do not remember any special  "push" to ever believe anything else except that "God Is"... Somewhere along the way, I just stopped going to church; I don't really remember why.  My   husband also grew up in the Methodist Church, and we were married in a Methodist Church.  He had stopped going to the Methodist Church, and had become a Unitarian Universalist, and I joined his church.  We participated in some of the activities and attended irregularly.  When he died,  his memorial service was in  the Methodist Church he helped establish in  Dallas.  The  minister knew him personally from those long ago days, and the service was simply a memorial to Bob...  We had moved to Arkansas where we did not attend any church.  I moved to Oklahoma City after he died, and do  not attend any church.  
My favorite line in the old movie, "Oh, God", with George Burns, is when someone asks God if Jesus was his son.  He replies, Yes, as was Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, and you and all people.  

Once, many years ago, in Arkansas, on a very cold, clear winter night, about 2:00 in the morning, I couldn't sleep, and went outside.  The sky was so clear and the stars were so bright and many, that I felt I could see to the "edge" and into the mind of God.   
If this makes me a deist, then I am.

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!
