Unified Deism

I have been a Deist for over 20 years, and my views have evolved over the years to where I am now, a "Unified Deist". I am hoping to find like-minded Deists who want to take a more active role.

I am not sure where most you are located but the USA is going through a religious war for our freedom of thought and expression. This being the 250th anniversary of our freedom as a country our deistic past is getting erased and deists such as Jefferson/Washington/ Payne/Franklin/Lincoln who worked so hard to provide us these freedoms, would be shocked and ashamed today.

The trends here show that the "spiritual/non-religious" are growing and now over 30%, MTD (Moralist Therapeutic Deism) over 40% and the preferred spiritual direction of younger generations want a "Deistic Faith". I have spoken to 100s in various Christian faiths who, after you peal back the layers,…

Hi Jim, I don't believe the Deist community your looking for is hidden otherwise you wouldn't be sharing your comments in a platform such as this etc. Deism is not an evangelical institutionalized machine like what your looking for. I wish you well on your journey and perhaps the creator of the universe illuminated your mind and reason to fulfill such a task as you are so passionate about. I wish you much success and peace in your journey.

So happy I found this platform. I went from Christianity to Atheism to Agnosticism to Deism. What would be the best description for "The Deist God"?

I came from an evangelical christian background and never felt at peace with the theology and historicity of the texts. I always believed in a "first cause" a creator of the universe and everything within it, however I always felt the god of the bible and revealed religions was so obviously man derived and full of myth etc. For me the "deist God" is the true God, the creator of all that is and is not limited by a religion or a book. The Deist God can be seen through the creation and the natural law that the Deist God has so magnificently established and designed. The Desist founding fathers of America described this God and the "father of lights" (the creator who illuminates our minds through reason and nature). If we tap into our God given reason and seek the creator we will find the wisdom and majesty of God's essence in us and around us. May the father of lights through reason and common sense fill you will peace and joy.

It all started when.....

My acceptance of there being a Creator is not important, it is quite clear that there HAS to be one!

When studying the Universe (as we know it...), it becomes quite obvious that, due to past events & therefore predictability of the past, it has been scientifically accepted that the Universe is about 13.8 billion years old.

This number was derived after the discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background - the afterglow from the Big Bang. This was determined by NASA & supported by the leading astrophysics centres The measurement of time, in reverse, is easily determined, but what was there before the Big Bang?

Although there are many arguements that say that the Universe works on a continual Big Bang. Those supporting this theory say that currently it's expanding but, eventually it'll recoil - with everything collapsing & becoming so tightly compressed, with ALL matter returning to three size…

What you wrote makes a lot of sense. There are questions regarding the Creation/universe that no one has the answers to. That's one of the great things about Deism I appreciate; Deism simply states the laws and designs in nature is proof there is a Designer of Nature, The Supreme Intelligence/God. That's it. Your first sentence reminded me of this insightful quote from the Deist Voltaire did "If God did not exist, he would have to be invented. But all nature cries aloud that he does exist: that there is a supreme intelligence, an immense power, an admirable order, and everything teaches us our own dependence on it." https://www.deism.com/post/famous-deist-voltaire

Hello!

Hello, to all! I have always seen GOD or a Supreme Being

"Intelligent Designer" by observing nature! As I started to lose my faith in organized religion my faith in an Intelligent Designer has never been stronger! Until I came across the term deist, I thought I was alone in this belief. I have been studying the Historical Critical viewpoint of the bible, and it is very interesting! That being said, now that I believe that the creation story in Genesis is probably a myth, what are some deist theories on how mankind was created? I know nothing can be proved but would like to hear what some of you all think about it. Thanks Jay!

Welcome to Deism and the World Union of Deists! Regarding the origins of mankind, evolution is the most reasonable. Here's an article regarding evolution and purpose in nature: Does Evolution Demonstrate Purpose in Nature?
