I believe a god probably exists; I just don't have any faith in him because I haven't seen a reason to yet. So, for me to have trust in God/Christ I would have to see some easy to understand and obvious sign(s) that God cared about any of us and was willing to help us with things that are out of...

I might do it if I believed it was truly God who was telling me to do this and I was absolutely certain that God's nature was entirely good. So, God would have to give me a very valid reason and prove to me it absolutely had to be done. If it was meant to be a test I would ask him what the...

Really? Social 'science' is one type of science that expects you to rely on the testimony of people who wrote whole textbooks on a subject familiar to us all; a subject world that we all live in everyday automatically and have some knowledge of, whether we "try it out" or not. Why should I rely...

I've heard of Animism too. Somebody brought up the idea that "control" might not be the best way to describe using magic. I just mean it could be a way to have a tool to use to be more proactive instead of being as passive as using prayer or belief only. I know it's impossible to control...

Then, that's one of the things that appeals to me about Paganism. I've read a little about their belief in magic on websites, but I never quite got the impression of whether they really felt as though it worked as a tangible reality. I like that they feel like it is a tangible thing. It's kind...

Do Pagans think that magic is a literal, concrete reality and that it's truly possible to practice, not just as a ritual? I have an open mind about this if people have had real experience with it. I didn't look thru the whole thread, so I apologize if it's been asked before.:)

I don't have a problem with Atheists because the more I get to know many Christians the more I can see why some Atheists take a hardline, I don't mean that negatively either. It's in self-defense that Atheists have to be vehement at times. I haven't had an Atheist treat me with contempt so far...

It is cool that it can pin down a town of only 800 people, like where I used to live. I'm pleasently surprised!

I like that the post you are referring to said Deism has some aspects of freethought to it. I would also add that Deism has some real common sense too. At least I can relate to it and believe it's plausible more than I can Biblical religion. So, that post wasn't rude.:)

I believe in the supernatural. I don't think it's directly dependent on God to exist though. I believe that it was part of the 'blueprint' of the Universe. The supernatural is like the flip side of reality. BTW, I don't even think an afterlife has to be directly dependent on God either. I...

http://www.deism.com/ Here you go JSynon. I finally can post a link.

:sigh::o I have a link that I would like to post but it told me I need to have at least 15 posts before I can do that. Anyway, the reply that Veggie gave is very accurate. That's the most basic and straight-forward way to put it.
