Hello friends, I entered deism due to difficulties in embracing atheism.
Difficulties On Afterlife,soul: I feel bad whenever I remember that this life is absurd, and that my death is like Hitler’s death, like the death of my beautiful lamb, there is no justice, no good, no evil. I met a classic deist friend. He told me that deism has a belief in a Creator, one of whose attributes It is justice and goodness, and if this Creator is just and good, then he will not leave the virtuous without reward and will not leave the criminals without punishment (I am not talking about heaven, hell, and eternal damnation), but rather the simplest manifestations of justice. In my opinion, those who deny the immortality of the soul and punishment and reward after death deny God’s goodness and justice. Because the conclusion against them is that this life is absurd and that the one who established justice and instilled it in us is not just himself. Do you really believe that your end and the end of the criminals are the same, which is decomposition?
Difficulties On God: If deism believes in the existence of a Creator of this universe through “mind” as well as some topics such as inspired morality and the afterlife, is this conclusion not similar to the dogmatists Descartes and Leibniz? that David Hume, and Immanuel Kant? criticized it harshly and considered it a metaphysics that is subject only to faith because human knowledge is limited to the material boundaries of the universe, so a person cannot acquire true knowledge about things that go beyond that. Didn't David Hume criticize the causal argument that the universe was not created in order for us to say that it was created by a God? And causality only applies to tangible things that are within our physical limits? Do you think it is acceptable to atheists’ opinion that all the arguments and indicators that deists rely on are incomplete extrapolations and not conclusive evidence? They stigmatize deists as appealing to ignorance and rushing to conclusions. While they see "waiting" until science gives the final word.
I do believe that there is no Heaven and there is no Hell. These are tools that Revealed Relgiion uses to control thier “customers”.
That said, I also believe in an afterlife. From all the philosphers I have read, including Aristotle who was Plato’s student. They both believe in an immortal soul.
I believe that when our bodies can no longer support it’s life, it dies. When the Body dies the Soul leaves the body and returns to it’s Creator. Our Creator at some point will send your Soul to a new born Human. You could say that what occurs after death is a reincarnation of your Soul into a new body. I don’t think that the Soul retains memories of it’s past life, but I do think what we can speculate that it may gain “intuition” which may help your new body/soul in it’s new life.
