I have repeatedly referred to God as "The Creator" throughout this discussion, which should make it clear that I am using the word "God" in a broad general sense that includes both "a personal god" & the "watchmaker" of #Deism, not to mention "The Creator" of Indigenous American beliefs etc.

On Providence & Practical Deism - The Living Church Even Christians sometimes slip into a kind of practical deism. Do we believe that God is at work and present even in the midst of suffering?

Happy Birthday and a big Thank You today to one of the most overlooked and most often ignored of America's founders: Thomas Paine — author of Common Sense and The Age of Reason. He not only worked to bring about the American Revolution, but also a #deism Revolution in religion.

Why does atheism require attribution to inadequate subjects? Your query asks why atheism requires the attribution of sophisticated abilities to inadequate subjects, a core critique levied against materialistic philosophy in the sources, particularly in the context of the Risale-i Nur collection. The sources assert that this attribution is a rational necessity for the materialist, born out of their refusal to accept a transcendent Creator. By rejecting the ultimate and adequate Cause (the Creator), the materialist is logically forced to place the required creative attributes onto contingent, unconscious parts of the universe.

The Artwork Analogy: Proof of a Creator’s Existence The sources frequently employ the Artwork Analogy (often referred to as the argument from design or the teleological argument, known in Islamic theology as Burhan al-'Inayah) to rationally prove the existence of a Creator. This analogy functions by applying a fundamental principle of human reasoning to the complexity of the universe, concluding that belief in a Creator is a matter of…

Theistic Knowledge vs. Atheism: A Logical Perspective The Risale-i Nur collection, authored by Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, fundamentally reframes the rational burden of proof concerning the Creator's existence by shifting the core intellectual position of the debate. Instead of engaging in defensive apologetic, the Risale-i Nur adopts a strategy of "positive demonstration". This reframing moves the intellectual burden away from the believer, who is typically asked to prove God’s existence, and places it squarely upon the materialist, who must now rationally justify their claim that existence arose from blind, purposeless forces.

How does the Risale-i Nur collection fundamentally reframe the rational burden of proof concerning the Creator's existence?

(6/6)

As a deist, I don’t get my morality from a book. I get my morality from reason I know what is bad because I know what causes unnecessary harm.
I know what is good because I know what relieves unnecessary suffering.
And I know what is neutral or grey because they don’t fit either.

Blind Faith with a Gnostic Deist The Broken Thing Who Praises

✝️ Blind Faith with a Gnostic Deist: The Broken Thing Who Praises

“I am not the prophet. I am just a man—
A liar trying to tell the truth,
A son trying to serve.”

As a Deist, this is my #CriticalPhilosophy on how I understand and believe in #God, and how God is the architect, and while human #Consciousness constructs #Reality. #Deism

Maybe that’s the point.
Stillness. Waiting. Listening.
