Deist: "it stands to reason that if we just make it all up as we go along then we can own niggers and institute tyranny more easily"

"From Latin Deus, God.Deity The doctrine or creed of a Deist." And Deist is defined in the same dictionary as: "One who believes in the existence of a God or supreme being but denies revealed religion, basing his belief on the light of nature and reason."

The beleif that god exists, but so do scientific and logical things.

Deists beleive that, rather then God shouting dramaticly "Let there be chickens!!" *, God created the first cell which then evolved into all other life. Meanwhile God was off doing important things, like creating other universes.

*let's not get into if he prehaps created eggs first, shall we?
In Deism, you beleive that God exists, but that's just about all you think about him.

-Believing that there is indeed a God , but he does not meddle in the everyday lives of human beings. Also believing that religion is a major thorn in the side of world unity.
-Okay you smug fucks.I don't know where the hell you got the information that early deists were slave owning racists. Thomas Paine , a very prominent deist (author of The Age of Reason) was classified as an abolitionist and was very much against the institution of slavery. Furthermore , even if there were some founding fathers who were deist , and owned slaves , does not mean they were racist , or evil , they were just adapting to the culture , which at the time entailed slavery. Roman Catholics killed Muslims in many Crusades for Jerusalem , does that make all Roman Catholics murdering radicalists?!?! The religion of many of the world's radical terrorists just happens to be Islam , does that make all Muslims terrorist?
-And for the r-tard (Hell awaits ..) that said "god doesn't interfere with our daily lives blah blah blah, but he bestowes the gift of reason upon us which would be god interfering with us which according to deists and their high and mighty "reason" he doesn't do but they just said he does do it,blah blah blah"
-Are you retarded? How does reason being the greatest gift God has given us mean that he meddles in our daily lives? U idiot. He does not stand there and assign reason to everyone that is born , which is apparently what you believe , it just means that he gave humans the gift of reasoning so we could all make choices for ourselves.
-Also to the invalid who said : "the religion of extreme racists and liars"
-Obviously God did not give u the gift of reasoning. One of the primary deist beliefs is religion is evil and a curse on humanity. O , your whole statement was just rendered void.
-So in conclusion , all you deist haters need to research a little more before you start spewing shit propaganda from your unenlightened mouths.
R-tard : Deists are just a bunch of evil racist , smug bastards.

Smart person: If hating religion because it divides humanity , and relying on reason and wanting to help thy fellow man because that is what God wants makes me an evil racist , smug bastard .. Sign me up!!!!

Deism , sweet.

The belief that the universe was not created by God, but by another omnipotent being of the same name.
I'm a deist because I believe in deism.

A group of religions similar to pan-theism, but with a deist outlook on the nature of God. Pan-deists believe that God is immanent in the universe - basically that God is everything and everything is God. However, unlike pan-theism, God is not a conscious or active being, but non-personal and non-interventory.

Diffs from panen-theism/panen-deism, which believe that even though God is immanent in the universe, he also transcends it (exists outside of it partly). Also spelt pandeism.
Oh ignore that dude, he's a pan-deist - he sees the divine in a pinecone even.

I never said that nature has a soul or conciousness - you need to read up on pan-deism to understand.

Hinduism is not pan-deistic; it's panen-theistic.

Scientific deism or evidence based deism is a deist current that advocates empirical, rigorous and massive studies and find if God, gods, spiritual beings, extraphysics and supernaturality are actually real or not, mainly focusing on technological development, such as on technodeism. The main difference from technodeism is that technodeism is just about technological search and scientific deism is about the whole search and research.
"Scientific deism might be really useful on countering neoatheism inside science, but it is unlikely scientific deism will get mainstream such as neoatheism soon."

"Scientific deism is gonna be revolutionary, united with technodeism, we might find out if gods, spiritual beings, supernaturalism and extraphysics are actually real or not, and it is gonna be like seach for aliens, and help search for aliens, since aliens might be spiritual beings and gods... So, scientific deism might be really useful on search for aliens and for intelligent non-human life forms."

"Scientific deism is a third way inside science, since it understands gods and spiritual beings might not be 100% real and living among humans nor be inventions of people's minds and heads. So, scientific deism is amazing due to it, and technodeism shows it really well."
