I asked them a question to get into their heads and their answers proved that their belief is based on fear and guilt

What do you think?

For those of you not familiar with Deism, here are the basics:

1. God Exists

2. Reason is the primary tool by which we seek to understand God and the Universe.

3. God Created the Universe, or caused its creation.

4. God does not interfere in the universe he created.

5. All revelations from God currently being espoused are false, but we may each still find inspiration from within ourselves.

6. There is no such thing as the “supernatural”… just things humanity may not understand as of yet.

7. God should be revered, and thanked, but never petitioned.


Please no one word answers. I am trying to understand both sides.

Is it like you really don't want to for whatever reason but your heart(God)reminds you that it would be the right thing to do so He is the only reason that you will do it? And if so, is this a good reason to do the right thing?

Would you thank yourself for getting those powers or would you seek out the source and thank it?

Note: This is not a loaded question. Relax.

Christians usually place great importance on the first 17 verses of Exodus 20, but say the last three verses of that capter and the next three chapters no longer count because Jesus changed things. (Things like sacrifices, alters, and giving to the poor every 7th year).

What Bible passages can you quote say of the dozens of Commandments in those verses, only those 10 still need to be followed? If you can't, would you tell what method you use to pick and choose what parts of the Bible you want to believe applies to you?

Paul told us that we should abstain from the blood of animals. Even if you choose to eat clean meant such as chicken and beef, it should be bloodless. I'd say a big bloody medium rare steak is a lot of people's idea of good eating. Why do we not care about that anymore? If you know anything of what I am talking about, you know that it was not done away with at the cross. I'm sure someone will try to say that, but I am speaking of new testament instructions to gentiles. I'm just curious as to why so many of us straight up ignore that.

Let's say that this parasitic twin does not actually harm the other normal twin. That it would be very easy for them to co-exist and you wouldn't have to kill the parasitic twin even though it's brain dead. Now you could either chop the extra head off and the normal twin would have a happy, fulfilling life or you could leave it on and the twins will have to be shut-ins for the rest of their lives. What would you choose?

(Keep in mind that the parasitic twin IS human life by every definition of the Bible. "It is still sacred." More so than a fetus.)

Be not troubled in your life nor let my haters cause you concern, for I am the Lord thy God and will protect those who believe in my name.
Until that day when I come to take you from all this pain, continue to worship me by eatting lots of pasta with the proper amount of sauce - and be not troubled my flock for I am always with thee!

The tradition in question is UEW (Universal Eclectic Wicca). I dislike quite strongly being told what to do, but would like the camaraderie of being part of a close-knit coven. UEW seems very liberal and accepting of differences in opinion.

Don't have the time right now to read "Covencraft". But what are some good and bad points to covendom?

I know I posted tis before, but I like getting as many people as possible's view on things.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that my personal spirituality is more in line with songs such as "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Breathe" than any dogma of an organized religion.

And when you get right down to it, is there any differance between reading the words written by man in the Bible and applying them to your life, or listening to the words sung by man on Dark Side of the Moon or the White Album and doing the same?

I'm not suggesting that I have alters to these musical artists or that I pray to them for guidence, more like I listen to what they have to say and think "Yeah... I can dig that."

What do you think of this? Wrong? Right? Crazy?

In closing, I'll leave you with my favorite scene from the movie Michael.

"Remember what John and Paul said."
"The Apostles?"
"No, the Beatles. All you need is love."
