Thinking About Deism

This week here on The Spiral Dance, we think about Deism. Desims as an encompassing thought and philosophy had a major influence over those we in America call our Founding Fathers. Thus the shape of our Constitution is very much a product of Deism. But, what's the connection between Deism and Paganism? In the Eighteenth Century many Deists spoke of a Crator God, or The God of Nature. They connected to the Devine through Rational Thought Processes, and by connecting with Nature. Clearly, the Deists of 1775 would scoff at the Pagans of today. But we at least have Nature in common! So, let's take some time to learn about Deism, and maybe derive inspiration from Deistic quotes. Hope you enjoy the show.
