How I Became a Deist
by Karl Swanson
This is a brief synopsis of how I became a Deist-
After I had become disenchanted with the church and its' hypocrisy, I started researching revealed religions, science, and various philosophies for almost a year. Ironically, without even hearing of Deism, I came to the conclusion that a creator initiated the universe and left everything to evolve. I then shared this reasoning with my mom who stated, "you sound like a Deist."
After my conversation with my mom, I began to study Deism through Deism.com and various texts. Through my studies I continually realized a strong connection to the ideas behind Deism and living by the Golden Rule. In addition, the Deist perspective left me amazed at the world around me and the intricacy of life. I finally came to the logical conclusion that there must be a primordial being, "Nature's God", who started the process.
As a result, if the occasion arises I am never afraid to share with family or friends that I am a Deist!
John McCain, who says he agrees with the majority of Americans who erroneously believe the US Constitution established the United States as a Christian nation, is endorsed by a powerful Christian preacher who believes America was founded, in part, to destroy Islam!

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!
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!
