Christian nation, is endorsed by a powerful Christian preacher
who believes America was founded, in part, to destroy Islam!

Why Deism? From Lutheran, to Catholic, to

How I Became a Deist
by Paul Mopps
I quite by accident found the WUD web site and since have read and re-read every article on it. I am so pleased that I have found exactly what I have believed for 49 years but did not know it by name. Let me share a bit about me.
I was raised a Lutheran. We weren't real strict but went to church/Sunday school every Sunday. Around the age of 12 or so, I attended Lutheran catechism and started questioning my pastor. My pastor and I couldn't agree on so very many things and I would openly argue with him during these classes. I seldom ever got a good answer to any of my questions which made me ask more. He would become angry with me because his answers didn't make any sense to me. The church lost me there. If you can't make a child believe, something must be amiss.
At the end of military high school, 64 -65, I attended a church in the south as was mandatory. I observed a Black family blocked from and turned away at the door of this Christian church. That was one of the first overt racist acts I witnessed. So much for tolerance and goodness. Now even the military school couldn't make me set foot in a church.
I joined the army in 66 and soon married a Catholic girl. I had to attend another indoctrination on Catholicism. I went to the classes to sleep mostly. Found it was a bunch of superstitious rituals that made no sense and everyone seemed to be guilty of living.
Than I was off to Viet Nam and soon became a stone cold atheist. I care to differ with anyone that says there are no atheist in fox holes!
My daughter was born in 71. I couldn't look at her and think there was no creator. Now the search began for a meaning or a religion for me to believe. Buddhism seemed the likely place to start. I explored it and some Native American religions but rituals and other things kept me from finding real answers. I finally decided that maybe I was a Pagan. I became very Earth based in my way of thinking. No religion, no rituals, no spells or magic thinking, but a respect for Mother Earth and humankind.
A friend of mine is an avid amateur astronomer and I
observed him working on his computer. He brought up a screen of the Big
Dipper. He asked me if I had any idea how many galaxies were inside the
dipper. WOW!!! I was so shocked at the size of this universe. If that
wasn't an eye opener to the power of The Creator of all..... And it's
all perfect, no guilt, no shame, no bigotry, no rituals to follow, just
one huge universe and we are part of it. We have been given life,
endowed with a mind and body to interact with the universe and the
knowledge to appreciate and understand by learning. Natures God is all,
I'm in its hands after this life and I trust that. No revealed religion
can compare with that!

Latest News of Interest to Deists
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!
