Why do Deists believe in Heaven?

[jenny1972]

The basis of anti-theism, I believe, is that irrational beliefs are fundamentally potentially harmful. It's just a more subtle form of harm.

Any time someone has a belief which doesn't correlate well with reality, it may cause them to make sub-optimal decisions which affect themselves and others.

This is why I encourage scepticism and clear thinking so much, because it's in everyone's interest to hold beliefs that are as correct as possible. This applies to beliefs about absolutely everything, not just God or religion. I'm in no way saying, "Just agree with me", I'm saying think things through at a fundamental level. Examine what assumptions you are making, why you are making them, and if those assumptions are necessary. Examine what reasons you have for beliefs, and whether they are supported by evidence.

I'm not here to tell anyone what conclusions to reach, not at all. If people just have a good think, then I'm happy, whatever the result.

I'm also not in the business of going around telling people which of their beliefs they should have and which they shouldn't; I can only put forward arguments and evidence for what I consider to be rational positions. I can be wrong as much as anyone else so I'm never expecting anyone to see me as an authority.

Wow that was weird... I hope I got my point across

it wasnt weird it was completely logical and i do understand what your saying and i am a critical and skeptical person in general but about God i have been convinced , but with other things i do not believe in . the belief in God is not really an anti social concept many people believe that God exists or assume that God exist even if they have no personal relationship with God (religion however is very anti social) , but really i have no choice in my belief just as you have no choice in your disbelief . belief is not about choice you cannot force yourself to believe in God you have to be convinced , i cannot force myself to be an atheist any more than you can force yourself to believe your either convinced or not convinced through proof or lack of proof
