Why Deism? Brought to Deism via The Age of Reason

 

Why Deism?
Brought to Deism via The Age of Reason

by James O

I'm 82 years old, raised in a Christian home.  Until moving away from home I attended a protestant church; later drifting away as many do.  For the last 20 years or so nagging questions about the many exaggerations, murder, plunder and mayhem found in the old testament of the Bible puzzled me.  Questioning supposed experts in the religious field, I got unsatisfactory answers.....and even a few "I don't knows".  Quite by accident I stumbled across a copy of Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason.  At last all the answers to my questions and a whole lot more were contained therein.  I'm in my 3rd reading
of this marvelous book.  There is a tremendous amount of  information packed into this tiny volume.

Latest News of Interest to Deists
A recent survey on religion shows there are 34 million Americans who are classified as "Nones", that is they do not embrace any of the "revealed" religions and the vast majority of them are not Atheists. In actuality, the vast majority of the "Nones" are actually Deists!

The survey shows a giant step forward for Deism in the fact that it actually uses the word "Deist" and for the very significant raw numbers it shows as representing the number of people who are Deists.  In reality, the number of Deists is actually higher than the survey shows because the survey uses an outdated definition of Deist. For a more accurate definition please see our Deism Defined page.

A judge drops charges against a woman who withheld food and water from her son during an exorcism to the point that the boy had to be treated in a hospital for dehydration!!
The article makes clear the judge based his decision, not on the rule of law, but on the prevailing superstitions in Gwinnett County, Georgia! The fact that in 2009 people still really believe in devils and demons demonstrates clearly the NEED FOR DEISM AND GOD-GIVEN REASON!

Obama is making the mixing of church and state worse than ever before.
Obama supporters forget that when all is said and done, Obama is just another politician. This article shows he's proving that he is nothing but a politician by doing more than any other president to mix religion and government, especially through giving tax-dollars to religious organizations.
