Recently I received a message from Deism askig me to download memes and use them when posting to increase interest in Deism. I did the download but haven’t gotten up to speed on how to use them.
I agree that Deism needs to gain traction with members of Revealed Religions. But I think it will take more the memes to do that.
Revealed Religions are false religions and unable to prove themselves otherwise. But we as Diests can provide the proof. I believe it our duty to bring down Revealed Religions and show their memebers the evidence.evidence of the falsity of their chosen Religion.
I enjoy playing Chess and have done so since i was in High School. What I took away from Chess is that the best defense is a strong offense.
If we show the evidence that falsifys the preaching of Revealed religions, I think we could bring a flood of people to Deism. My reason for this is seeing the number of people who claim to be religious has fallen by over 50%. I also reason that their are new Deists coming in all the time. The section for those just finding us tells the story that many are ready if we just give them the information on Revealed Religions, the rest will play out just fine over time.
Thanks for your input, Joe. I agree 100%! It wasn't until I objectively read Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason and his open and powerful criticism of Christianity, Judaism and the Bible that I was empowered to break free from Christianity.
The World Union of Deists is often criticized by people, including some fellow Deists, who claim we should show respect to the ungodly, foolish and harmful "revealed" religions. Respect should not be wasted on nonsense. We don't hate the superstitious, we hate and combat the superstitions.
For 31 years the WUD has been working on a shoestring budget to advertise Deism to more and more people. For just one example, we put up the first Deism billboard that was up from January through March of this year. It cost us $1,800.00 per month. We're also doing a lot of online advertising. I see you have a one-year subscription to Deistic Thought & Action!, which helps us to gain the necessary resources to promote Deism. People who really want to promote Deism can help to do that by subscribing to our monthly Deistic Thought & Action! https://www.deism.com/subscribe or by becoming a World Union of Deists Sustaining Member.
