Hmm, you edited that pretty fast. I’ve never seen someone ‘moon’ Deism before.

Anyways, Deism really isn’t a ‘religion’, as far as most people view religions. It’s more of a spiritual and philosophical belief. We don’t rely upon ‘supernatural revelations’, we instead use our own powers of observation to perceive the divine. I see things like the fact that we just ‘happen’ to exist on a planet that just ‘happens’ to have an environment that is conducive to spawning life, and just ‘happens’ to be the right distance from our star to not be too cold or too hot.

I see things like evolution as strong indicators of intentional, intelligent design.

I didn’t rely upon a legendary ‘burning bush’. I used my own eyes and ears, and came to a conclusion.

that was very deep. Did you actually come up with this? (not trolling)

When I was younger, I never felt that my family’s religion really made any sense. It was all dependent upon belief that another human being told another human being a story, which kept getting pbumed around, and that we should base our entire belief system on little more than a glorified game of ‘Telephone’. I always felt that we should be able to think for ourselves (isn’t that what God gave us brains for?) and explore our own world and approach the divine in our own way.

This went on for a few years, well into my early twenties, until I discovered Deism. Virtually every conclusion I’d come to on my own was reflected in Deism. It just made sense.
