Neglected
I’m sorry I’ve neglected this blog so much. I’m slowly working my way through a Qur’an and upon completion I’ll try to post on here more. I also have Christian pamphlets to go over that I found at the laundry mat.

A look at my beliefs
From time to time I step back and look at how I believe. I poke at it. I run my razor over it to watch it squirm. I put it to the tests of my mind and if I find things I do not think are correct and I rip those parts away so I can look at them under the microscope of my scrutiny. I revaluate and then move on. I believe if your beliefs can not evolve then they do not fit in a universe that is...
Homosexuality
I’ve been away for sometime. Been moving into and renovating a 112 year old home. So let’s start back up on something a little more modern. Homosexuality is deemed a sin and “unnatural” by many of the revealed religions. In some countries you can even be executed for being a homosexual. Here in our country they are ridiculed, beat, spit upon, and there are religious...

Theory For God
I wrote this originally for Deism.com. They published it in the march edition of ThinkOnline.
I’ve always been a fan of science. When I was still a Christian I tried using scientific discovery to prove some of the miraculous events in the bible as plausible. Since becoming a Deist I’ve been doing something similar. That is I’m using science to show the plausibility of a Creator.
It’s not...

Cain and Abel
This I Would like to break down a little more by scripture. I have two brothers and this story was often thrown at my brothers and I. As a young child I thought it very unfair and very wrong of God. As my research expanded over the years I realized that this story mimics many of the other brother slaying brother stories throughout mythologies and religions.
Let’s start with Genesis...

Adam, Eve, God, and Lucifer
It’s been a while since I last posted and I have a special one to talk about this time. Let’s talk about Adam & Eve. Great story, it’s amazing how much it parallels several ancient Persian explanations for the different seasons but that’s not what I’m here to talk about today. Let’s talk about Adam, Eve, Satan and God.
Let’s break this down step by step:
God (of the bible) supposedly...

No response
A few of my coworkers, very devout Christians, have developed a new tactic with me. They can not debunk any of the problems I find so now they are trying to put me in contact with people that could possibly debunk me.
How this usually works is they find a link to some zealots website and e-mail it to me. I go through read through the stuff and send an e-mail asking, politely, to discuss things...
Do Not Question
Yesterday one of my coworkers asked me to explain Deism to them. So I did. It’s a simple idea deism is the belief in a creator using reason not a religious text. Then she asked me if I had always been a deist. So I explained to her that I use to be a Christian and after 14 years of religious study I found that religious groups were all inaccurate and false. Then she asked me to explain...

A question about those that never had a chance.
“If nonbelievers are going to hell what happened to all the Native Americans that died before Christianity ever made it to this part of the world?’
The answers could be broken down into two basic types.
1. They were sent to hell
2. They will be given a chance upon judgment day.
They were sent to hell. If this is the case then the Christian “God” is a cruel god. It would be no...

How I became a Deist
The purpose this tumblr page was to talk about religion, ideas, and primarily my belief in Deism. If you would like to follow me on my more lighter and every day to day stuff I do recommend visiting my other tumblr at thecaleb. For a while I’ve sat on this page wondering where to begin and I guess like all things I should begin at the beginning. With that being said this will be a long post.
