Today is Passover. It's a major and essential holiday in Judaism. It is allegedly a celebration of freedom. It portrays God in a horrific way that is completely rejected by Deism. Passover is a foundational myth of Judaism and a pivotal part of the Exodus myth that claims ancient Egypt held millions of Jews in slavery. As the story goes, God wanted to be the God of the Jews. At Numbers 15:41 the ancient Jewish clergymen who wrote the Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament, cl

I chose deism for several reasons. But to explain that properly, I first have to explain how and why I left Islam. One of the earliest influences was my upbringing. I grew up in the USA, although I’m not a U.S. citizen. I returned to my home country when I was around 15, and later, at the age of 20, I started working to support my family during a financially difficult time. I was already living in a dysfunctional home, and all I wanted was to pursue an undergraduate degree, w

After nearly 30 years of searching, questioning, doubting, believing, leaving, and returning to different ideas about God, I finally feel that I have come home. What I have found is not a new religion in the traditional sense, but a certainty — a quiet, grounded conviction in God through Deism. And the relief I feel is almost overwhelming. It is deeply, profoundly freeing. For most of my life, my spiritual journey has been intense and restless. I have explored structured reli

(Many people believe Deism is restricted to belief that The Supreme Intelligence/God is impersonal and never intervenes with people or the Creation. That is factually incorrect. Some Deists believe The Supreme Intelligence/God never intervenes, some Deists believe The Supreme Intelligence/God does intervene and some Deists are not sure. This freedom of belief in Deism is due to Deism being free from man-made dogmas as the "revealed" religions suffer from. In fact, the most im

All of the man-made "revealed" Abrahamic religions are very misogynistic. Judaism shows its anti-women, and anti-Gentile, core with its daily morning blessing, the Birkot HaShachar (בִּרְכוֹת הַשַּׁחַר – "Morning Blessings" or "Dawn Blessings"), which Orthodox Jews recite. The blessing includes, בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁלֹּא עָשַׂנִי גּוֹי (Blessed are You… who has not made me a gentile) בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁלֹּא עָשַׂנִי

“Belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man.” Thomas Paine The above quote from Thomas Paine’s The Age of Reason, The Complete Edition , strongly applies to the Jewish god of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. This “holy” book of Judaism is dripping with religious violence either ordered by the god of Judaism or actually carried out by that barbaric entity. The particular grotesque and unnecessarily brutal actions committed by the cruel Jewish god which have been celebrated by Juda
