Ever read this book by Allegro, The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity Within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East
My favorite example of hallucinogens in the bible are the 10 plagues.Quote:

It is the firstborn who die, because the eldest sons are sent to get the grain, and they get bigger rations."
There is a lot more wrong with deism than the bible. Look at this except from the website you linked,Quote:

Reason, if we use it, won't let us believe a statement like that. Likewise, if someone tells us the ever growing creation and its perfect order "happened" by pure chance, we are under no obligation to believe them
Anyone should be embarrassed to espouse this nonsense. They are citing the concept of irreducible complexity as evidence for creationism. The idea has been thoroughly smashed by science but somehow still lurks around.

You take forums too seriously.
Not a deist.
Too seriously? How so, you posted the link as a joke because you consider the site ridiculous? I can see that. Not sure that seriousness was much of a factor.
