Since we know we did not create the creation or ourselves, yet we and the creation do exist, it is logical to believe that God, or an Eternal Cause or Creator created us. - Deisme vs. geopenbaarde religie It is not our calling a book holy that makes it so, any more than our calling a religion holy that entitles it to the name. Inquiry therefore is necessary in order to arrive at truth. But inquiry must have some principle to proceed on, some standard to judge by, superior to human authority. - Deisime vs. atheisme Deism teaches that the Creator is knowable and discoverable through the creation itself. It is very understandable how people could be turned off by man-made religions and superstitions with their bombings and financial beg-a-thons, and confuse artificial or revealed religion with God. However, the atheist attitude of accepting things simply as not knowable is dangerous to the progress of humanity - Meer van Thomas Paine, verklaard deist (en een van de Founding Fathers van de VS): Of the religion of Deism compared with the Christian religion - Deisme FAQ Bronnen: POSTSCRIPT: ik zou er nog meer op kunnen zetten, maar dit geeft wel een beetje een idee over Deisme, denk ik. Trouwens, heeft iemand er behoefte aan dat ik ook aandacht besteed aan andere "minder bekende" religies?
