As a deist myself, I've come to determine deism as the most (unconsidered) but hated religion.
Religion people hate us because we are not religious, nor do we associate with a church, etc, or any given organised religion or follow any of their steps.
Atheists hate us because we believe in God (or at least some form of supreme being)
Anyways, I've come to this conclusive religion because as a lover of science, I feel that everything (including 'love') is chemical reactions, in the way that traces back down to the very first big bang... but I believe something had to put those chemicals there to begin with. Even in the sense of spontaneous generation, the space for the chemicals to form in had to be created somehow. How? No idea. God? Could be. Organised religion? Nah.
And in this sense, I can pick and choose what I believe based solely off MY beliefs, rather than following those of a rabbi or priest or muslim leader thing... Reincarnation, for example. I believe in that, as well, solely because I deny the possibility to not exist.
Thoughts?
