Deism

Hey everybody come check out my religion.

Deism.

You can find a bunch of sites on the Internet but these two are the most thorough.

http://www.deism.org/
http://www.deism.com/

Its not an organised one, there are no church's or centralised worshiping locations (because we dont worship anything), there's no holy book and you wont find any priests or prophets either.

It's very similar to Atheism except that Deists believe in a supreme intelligence that created the universe. Apart from that we share many of the same beliefs as Atheists. Bettering our future and humanity through our own technology and social advancements. We feel that all organised religions are wrong and detrimental to human advancement.

We believe in god because science and reason has led us to this belief, not some revelation in a "holy" book.

The array of the universe and creation here on earth, the complexities of DNA and nature are so great that something intellectual must've played a role in its conception.

I''ve hear of Diesm. Wasn't Thomas Jefferson one?

Sounds interesting. 👆

I dont believe there is a deity of any kind. I believe in soul, and I believe in Karma, and I believe in spirit and that it moves through everything and everyone.

I dont necessarily believe its a god...

cant be cause here I am diety and no Thomas aint one of us

Edit.

Sounds like a good religion to me 🙂

Can you believe in ghosts and psychic abilities? (I ask this because my old regilion christianity did not believe in them, so I got pissed).

I think you can..

No ghosts or psychic abilities.
Just science.

I thought spirits (ghosts) were a big part of Christianity?

No, It's a bad thing...

To christians ghosts and stuff is a bad thing.

I was thinking of becoming a Deism.

Not anymore.

I fully believe in ghosts and psychic abilities.

See, I cant accept anything that is purely based on ''this is science - if i can see it its there, and if i can't its not real'' because that in itself is faulty.

Just because we dont have the knowledge or the equipment to observe something, it dosent mean that it doesnt exist or isnt there.

The simplest example of this is high pitch sounds humans cannot hear. If we didnt have the technology and the knowledge to hear this, it doesnt, evidently mean it doesnt exist - just that we dont hear it and dont know about it.

I dont believe in God (not the way Quran, Bible or Torah describe 'him' anyway) but i do believe in spirits, reincarnation and Nirvana.

Finally! Someone else on these boards that believes in ghosts! 😮‍💨

Deist's never set their beliefs in concrete. Ideas and beliefs change as new information is presented and knowledge is gained. Nothing is above questioning or reproach.

Every religion and philosophy is faulty.

I was only observing what you said.

Religion and philosophies are interpretations and observations - since there is no such thing as an absolute truth - even what im saying right now is matter of interpretation - my truth doesnt necessarily equal your.

Religion and philosophies are only faulty if someone elses perception and interpretation of certain school of thought or idea is fed as a ''fact'' everyone else, especially if that perspective greatly differers from their own.
Reality and truth differ from person to person, they are subjective, thats why (organized) religion in any form doesnt work.

You got that right sista! *mhm mhm*

How would you explain reincarnation seeing as the population is constantly increasing?

I can understand if you were referring to the law of conservation of energy states that energy may neither be created nor destroyed. But that's just a nice way of saying upon death people are maggot food. 😛

I'd like to be reincarnated as Fabio's thong! droolio

Tex..when i first looked at the picture under your name, it looked like a bunch of bananas....

That's hot. eyes

But alas...

Animals have souls too. All creatures are equal and to be equaly respected - the trouble is that they are not and thus being re-incarnated into an animal is a form of punishment (depending on what kind of animal, of course)

Having that said, even His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama has already said that the re-incarnation of one soul can happen in more than 1 person.

I'd like to be reincarnated as one of my favourite celebrities children. Therefore they'd love me and we could have a cool time! 😊
