How I Became a Deist
by Mike Trewern
I come to Deism from a Unitarian background and, previous to that, after searching virtually every sect of revealed religion and finding absolutely nothing which I could connect with, I came across Thomas Paine. There it was! Everything fell into place just like a jigsaw doing itself! Although I found Paine to be a little excessive in his undoing of Christianity there is nothing in his work, or those who have followed, with which I can disagree. Nature's God is the answer. A God, or Universal Spirit, or whatever name one is comfortable with, found by Reason and definitely not by Revelation. I am 15 months from retirement and I cannot get over how long it has taken for me to find my answers but it was well worth the time and effort! Once retired it will give me much more time to spread the word, 'DEISM'.
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!
