Etymology of Cosmotheism

The content below is from Brave Browser's AI (I generally dislike the entire concept of AI, but Brave Browser has a decent way of responding to certain questions. However it's a lazy approach that should be seldom employed!) We are a Deist Community, but there are philosophies compatible with Deism you might want to know as well. Cosmotheism is a term coined by Lamoignon de...

The “Holocaust” Never Happened

Deists who have escaped Abrahamic faiths' clutches should find it easier to question everything we've been taught! Here's one to consider questioning. This was my first awakening to Jewish Supremacy. I had already been through the transition from Christianity > Hebrew Roots > Orthodox Judaism > Karaite Judaism > Samaritanism > basic Deist (based on reason and logic.) Towards the...

About Deists.org

I was born to a Christian family within the Baptist community (sometimes Independent, sometime Southern.) By the age of 20 I began to notice problems with Christian tenets while serving in the armed forces and planning for a post-military career in ministry. What I discovered in my 20s began with questioning Christian holidays and lack of proper Saturday Sabbath observance,...

What really happened when Noah got drunk?

This is one of the first of a few articles I hope to post about strange events recorded in Genesis that are widely misunderstood and generaly simplified beyond what is reasonable, causing the original meaning of the story to be obscured. When one digs deeper and makes the proper connections within the text of the Torah, what one discovers transforms what initially appears to be a confusing...

Did Abram really tithe to Melchizedek?

This article will address the issue of Abram's so called "tithe" to Melchizedek, a story which is used by Christianity to bolster the modern practice of tithing to the church. This is not an anti-tithing article, so I won't go into the details of how tithing was not a practice of early Christianity until at least the sixth century C.E. The purpose of this article is simply to question the...

Was Jesus the Jewish Messiah?

The idea of a “Messiah” is found outside of the Torah. The Torah does not promise a “Messiah”. Aryans do need a "Messiah". However, if non-Aryans do accept the Judean writings (i.e. the rest of the Tanakh/Old Testament after the five books of Moses) to be inspired and/or authoritative, did Jesus fulfill the requirements necessary to be the promised...

Is Jerusalem The Chosen Place?

According to Judaism there is only one place where offerings to the jewish god can be made–the temple in Jerusalem. Without it, Jews are not authorized to bring offerings at all. This understanding comes from the book of Deuteronomy, which over 20 times mentions a “chosen place” as the only location for offerings and pilgrimage feasts. Surprisingly, an objective read...

Samuel, prophet or priest from 1 Samuel: Good guy or bad?

This is the third article in a three part series. If you haven’t yet read the preceding articles, I’ve provided links here. Now it’s time to inspect Samuel’s story. Samuel was not a legitimate priest Encyclopedia Brittanica says the following of Samuel: Samuel, Hebrew Shmuʾel, (flourished 11th century BC, Israel), religious hero in the history of...

Eli, priest from 1 Samuel: Good guy or bad?

This is the second article in a three part series. Now that I’ve documented how the jewish god abandoned Israel in the period of the judges, let examine the record of Eli the Priest who appears in 1 Samuel Chapter 1. Some will wonder why this is a question at all. Read further and find out how bad Eli really was! Reason #1: Eli was a descendent of Itamar In the wilderness,...

Is The Oral Torah Divine?

Today’s rabbinic Judaism is governed not just by the Hebrew Scriptures, but also by the Talmud, a written collection of oral traditions. After the destruction of Jerusalem in the first century CE and the exile of the Jewish people, it was feared that Jewish tradition would be lost, and around 200 CE Rabbi Judah the Prince redacted the Mishnah. The Mishnah is but one component of the...

The Christian New Covenant Problem

A foundational principle of Christianity is the claim that a new covenant was instituted by Jesus’ death and resurrection, replacing the covenant made between the jewish god and Israel at Mount Sinai. No longer are adherents required to observe the jewish god’s instructions, for we are saved by simple faith in Jesus and nothing else. What if it could be easily shown from the New...

Are Christian holidays pagan?

25 years before my deeper study of the scriptures prompted me to leave the church, I had already developed strong convictions against Christian holidays. There is virtually no-one, not even among conservative Christian scholars and apologists, who denies the pagan origins of Christian holidays. The question is: what, if anything, is wrong with co-opting pagan practices? Christianity sees this...
