Deism vs Religion (Non-guidance vs guidance).
#4
RE: Deism vs Religion (Non-guidance vs guidance).
It makes absolutely no sense to follow a book such as the Quran or the Bible simply because they make claims that they're the word of god.  It's pure bullshit.  If you believe in the god of Abraham, then obviously it makes more sense to follow Theism rather than Deism.  But deists for the most part don't believe in the tiny dick God of Abraham.  

Maybe it makes no sense to believe in a god at all.  But if you're going to believe in one, why assume anybody understands the idea of god?  If they did, then surely there'd only be one religion.  Especially if such a god were omnipotent.

There's no such thing as miracles.  It's just all a bunch of woo.  Personally I believe there might be some sort of god.  But I'm pretty sure it's none of the assholes people have come up with.  If one religion is made up, there's no reason to believe they're not all made up.  Why would I follow the guidance of some dickhead who claims to have revelation from god?  It's better to discover your own guidance than follow someone else's.
