I go my own way with G-d.
JoshMan:
Good Eve to you.
My name is Joshua and I,m mostly a Abrahamic Deist who goes his own way with the divine for the most part.
I was born the twenty eighth of November 1982 in center county Pennsylvania and a full blooded American, I do not know were I stand on the political spectrum of things because the "ruling class" of America are not to be trusted as most of you know.
Lets see, I stand of Holy Israel and hope to go to the Temple mount someday to pray and show my respect because that is what I feel as a human to fully honor the divine order and creator of the elegant universe and everything in it.
As a deist I respect most if not all forms of religion because I "feel" and "believe" that the human race is a divine people a holy people willed buy and breathed life into buy the divine almighty" and to cast out any practice of faith from the race would leave us souless and mindless animals.
The Muslim faith has its one pro in my eyes and its a saying "all-h Akbar" and I find it to be truth, buy sadly such wise words are not used as praise but used as blasphemy in my eyes, I need not explane.
Thant's about it for now, just a littile something to intro duce my self with.

Hi Joshman :)
I don't really know what 'deist' is or what beliefs deism entails. What do you consider Scripture: Koran, Tanakh, New Testament, gnostic, Zohar, or something else? Do you acknowledge the need for interpretation of Scripture? Do you believe in individual interpretation or following established interpretations?
JoshMan:
What is a deist?
There is no simple answer for this, its more of a personal belief, ie "each to there own".
I believe there is a divine creator but like most I go my own way and reject the critical point of deism besides the creation story, I believe there were more people on the earth when Adm and Eve were created, they were just the main players or simply the only part or critical part off the story if such people buy the names or character existed at all.
Rejection of the claim that the Bible, Torah and Koran and anyother book is the "revealed" and "only" word of God.
They sacred text are but Pisces to a greater truth.
All religions are sacred and should be keep-ed safe.
The divine order exists and created the universe and every thing in it.
The divine wants human beings to behave morally.
Human beings have souls that survive death, there is some sort of after afterlife.
In the afterlife, the divine will reward one on there merits and punish immoral behavior.
I hope this helps for you to under stand my standing.
JoshMan:
A few more things. The resone I do not hold onto or follow any of one faith is because I do not know, as the old saying go's "we're you there when I made the oceans and set up the sky?" no. I was not.
I only give thanks for each new day out loud when I wake up to while I have a morning cigarette and pray to g-d for the ones who have passed on, I do not pray or ask the divine for living people, places or things if the divine finds them worthy then so be it, its the holy's creation judgment and great wisdom not mine to say,
Who I,m I to ask for such things?
I believe there is other life in the unnerves more then likely I fell and think we were NOT ITS FIRST OR ITS LAST CREATION and that life is more then likely exploring as well as we are, now I dint know what to think about aliens abducting people from there homes I have never seen such things that I know of, but who's to say?
When someone tells me something strange or "Out there" I do not mock or make jest I listen.
Science is the a nother part of the great puzzle called life and I take wisdom from it, I do not think the creation theory should be teched in public schools thats what church or private schools are for.
The evolution theory is for public schools church and state should be keep-ed separate.
