Well it’s been a while since I have written anything here, but never fear I have been writing elsewhere! I have also been conducting an exhaustive amount of research on Deism. Also I have been hammering away on my clocks. I have finished the Christmas window display; it’s pretty cool. I have a table platform, on which I laid out a white sheet and then placed the tracks for the train and added the Christmas tree and the little village. It looks really cool in the dark.
Too much fun lately to sit down, and when I finally do plop down in front the computer, it seems like I have a million things to read before I hit the sack. My reading list needs to be pruned a bit I think. But there is so much to read!!!
This Deist study is intriguing. I mean on the outset the philosophy seems very basic yet very sound. I guess it would be like a rock, metaphorically speaking. Yet many of the greatest minds in history followed Deism. I agree with a lot of what Deism seems to be saying about religion. This whole personification of God as a simple being with simple feeling is so ludicrous. People like old Pat Roberson telling everyone what God wants from them. I just don’t see how that can equate to a personal relationship between God and his children. Not to mention the fact that the earliest forms of religion developed these same straws to anchor religion into a nice and neat form.
More to come as I continue reading.
