Thank you so much, I wondered if there were others who thought along similiar lines. For most of my life I have felt like an orphan, trying to fit in and grow spiritually, but incapable of abandoning MY truth and having no one to share my thoughts on the matter with.

I am interested in finding out more about Deists; do you have any suggestions as to where I might learn more?

ME TOO!! I am not your average run of the mill christian like the rest of my family and in accordance of how I was raised. I "dared" to question. Beliefs :rolleyes:have to resonate as truth in my soul and gut. I can't imagine just buying into everything I've been told hook, line, and sinker. Too sheep like for me. I

Texas Parent, I felt exactly the same way you did, in fact, until a few months ago I didn't even have a name for my beliefs, it was Cred that told me about Deism, and after reading the definition I was so relieved, yup, that's exactly what I believe.

There are alot of sites on the web that will give you a better understanding. If you like I could PM you a few links, or you can google Deism, or Deists, that should give you a starting point.

I too am very glad to meet someone with the same beliefs as mine, I was beginning to think I was the only one on this site that believed this way. :)

Count me in too!! :D

To Me a Deist is one who believes in God.
I do.
But I'm also a Christian.
