This is the first post I write and share my thoughts on Deism and what is means to Me. I have embarked in a personal journey that may be called a crusade for the pursuit of truth. Deism for me was the catalytic component to jump start my life in a different direction. The term Deist was well defined for Me at Wikipedia along with other websites I surfed through online.
"God created the Universe, Man created Religion"
These words have enlightened me to the view that the only way I may find God in my life is to walk the path alone, perhaps this is the way He truly intended for it to done. Which is to say the hardest path and the one that would require the most devotion to truly be closer to him, and if I die and face His judgement for simply seeking the truth of My place in his universe, so be it.
If God is to Condemn me for not believing in the fantasy books that people peddle for money in his name...So be it, challenge accepted!
With that being said, the beauty of Deism is that no Deist should ever have the same philosophy in life and share the exact same views on God and the after life. We as Deists are on our own, but We can and should hold intellectual discourse not only of subject of God but on basically EVERYTHING.
The Tower of a Babel as described by the ultimate Oracle of the World Wide Web.
According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land ofShinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower "with its top in the heavens...lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the Earth."
God came down to see what they did and said: "They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do." So God said,
"Come, let us go down and confound their speech." And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages, and they left off building the city, which was called Babel "
because God there confounded the language of all the Earth."(Genesis 11:5-8).
If the Writings of the Abraham Religions were real, because they are NOT. This single passage tells me that our God given intellect and creativity should never be used to it's fullest. The passage also tells Me that God doesn't want to see a United Humanity that can communicate with each other in one common language. I call bullshit!
I am rebuilding the Tower of Babel within myself and take my ability to Reason, Think, Learn and Create to it's fullest. I hope to inspire others to do this as well to their own lives.
My common language to mankind is the Internet. The path of the Polymath that I seek was walked by others in history, so it's not impossible to learn and increase our knowledge in various subject matters. All one needs to do is decide to do it and never accept some else words on what your life should be about.
The new Tower of Babel that I intend to rebuild will not be visible in an open space or be observed by anyone. This Tower will be build within the global Consciousness of people that I network with and communicate with on the web and my every day life. One person at a time I hope to come with a common agreement that Our time here on Earth is too precious to waste on falsehoods.
The clock for everyone's impeding Death never stops ticking, what we all do with the time we have is priceless, but yet we waste it away. Watching TV, Playing Games, listening to corrupted Political ideologies, Worshiping and following the rituals of equally corrupted religions.
My generation and others have for centuries wasted their time with these things. Many have died in stupid wars or sacrificed their time working for a measly pay and listening to some else telling you what to think and how to live.
Ask yourself this: Is the money I earn every week for the hours I put in, 40, 50, 60, 70 etc... define what my life is worth? What would I do different right now if I knew I was going to die this week?
The hour is now for me to embrace every minute I have alive. I could die right now from a blood vessel bursting in my brain as I write this, I could come down with a terminal disease in the next weeks. You could be having a heart attack from reading my post and yelling BLASPHEMY..... All the way to the great beyond...
My point is for you to stop looking up to other people for a meaning in your life and letting words have power over you. When you die, you will be the one that dies not me. We all share two things in common, we are all Humans and in the end we ALL DIE ALONE.
Join me on rebuilding your own Tower of Babel or go back to the bread and games.
