Would it be possible to actually start a conversation in this newsgroup?
The Subject is supposed to be Deism. Instead, we get statements from
Islamic proselytizers, weird advertisers and a smattering of others.
I am a Deist. I believe that human prophets are full of nonsense and
political agendas. God does not speak to us through humans, because God
speaks to us through everything we see around us...the Earth, the
Universe. It is through our own observations of the world around us and
through Science that we learn about God.
We do not come closer to God by listening to the rantings of lunatics,
nor do we get to know God better by reading the ancient texts of the
rantings of lunatics from past centuries. All we learn in those two
endeavors is what lunatics have had to say. Analyzing those statements
and agendas is a waste of time and mental energy.
God is silent, yet speaking continually. You have to shut up to listen.
A conversational topic I'd like to try, in light of current Global
events, is how Deists view the world wide problem of Radical Islam.
Another topic I'd love to hear Deistic view points on is the Global
problem of China's obvious ill intent in the world.
