Interesting. I have never talked to a Deist before. Do you believe the Bible as God’s word?
I have read the Bible. One of my favorite books is Ecclasiastes, but I don’t believe it is the word of God. As I said before religion, whether Budhism, Catholicism, the Jewish faith, Muslims, Baptists, Lutherans, And even cults like the Reverend Jim Jones are attempts by fallible human beings to explain our existence. The alternative is that when we die there is nothing. Having to face that idea is not a pleasant thought. I do believe in intelligent design. It is around us everywhere.
