DEISM: Deist Media- "Deism by Clay Link"


Uploaded by  on Jan 15, 2011

by Clay Link instructed by Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II
Super professional narration, fantastic visuals, love the Mandelbrot sets and the superimpositions and skillfull transitions, intro is superb. We find that "author" and "architect" are the key terms. The Clockwork universe of Newton comes into play with excellent imagery. Wow! Does any religion have the right answers? These are the questions the Deists asks, as well as being sick of warfare over religion. Copernicus, Kepler, Brahe, Galileo destroyed Christianity's earth-centered view. The Bible was in for a drubbing with Lord Cherbury and friends. Locke comes into play opposing innateness arguments for this Deist God, and the tabula rasa or blank slate notion of mind comes into play. Deists then had to turn to arguments from experience and nature. Extensive, skillfull panning and cropping. Both the French and American revolutions were influenced by this movement. The Cult of the Supreme Being was a national cult in France for a time. Many founding fathers saw the value of reason, but especially Jefferson was a propounder of Deism. Franklin found anti-Deist tracts drew him to Deism and Thomas Paine made it popular. We see a god without revelation. Nice definition of all of it: a creative power greater than human... the growth is the fastest growing religion or .02 of the population. Hans Hegge narrated wonderfully, the credits are clear and extensive. Loved it! Persuasive....

DEISM: MEMES- GOD "The Lobster"

Lobsters, the immortal animals !

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata 
Class: Arthropoda 
Order: Malacostraca 
Family: Decapoda 
Genus: Nephropidae
Common Name: Lobster
Today I found out a very strange fact regarding lobsters  that I didn't know of. They might actually be immortal , in the sense that they do not age of course! From what recent studies have shown, it seems that lobsters may not slow down, weaken, or lose fertility with age. Actually older lobsters are more fertile compared to the younger ones!
In other words lobsters exhibit negligible senescence, which means that they lack any symptoms related with aging. However their supposed immortality is not yet proven, although lobsters are undoubtedly one of the longest living animals, with many specimens exceeding one hunder years of age.

Religion: Thomas Paine - FFRF.ORG


The history of Western civilization shows us that most social and moral progress has been brought about by persons free from religion. In modern times the first to speak out for prison reform, for humane treatment of the mentally ill, for abolition of capital punishment, for women's right to vote, for death with dignity for the terminally ill, and for the right to choose contraception, sterilization and abortion have been freethinkers, just as they were the first to call for an end to slavery. The Foundation works as an umbrella for those who are free from religion and are committed to the cherished principle of separation of state and church.

Religion: Peaceful Water - Inner strength


Peaceful Water - Did you know people used to be called heretics for saying the Earth moved because the bible says the earth is fixed and stationary ? ...just shows how ridiculous religion is and how never to assume you have the truth regarding any of the the scriptures ...faith does not equal truth ...also nowhere in scripture does it actually call the son the torah ...the teachings of people that say jesus/yahshua is torah is not actually biblical and is purely an interpretation that is not actually written anywhere in scripture ...if you want the truth ...you will ask the hard forbidden questions and then find the inner strength to accept the answers ...
