I am a Deist. I believe that God exists. I also believe that he set the universe in motion (like winding an alarm clock) and went on to do something else. Our attempts to worship him, and make some connection to him are foolish and arrogant, think Jimmy Swaggart, the Reverend Jim Baker, and other assorted fakirs. I believe that the foundations of morality are in the “golden rule” Some of our founding fathers were also Deists. I also believe in free will.
Interesting. I have never talked to a Deist before. Do you believe the Bible as God’s word?
