Bad example using Deist as it is Christian in nature:

philosophy and movement that derives the existence and nature of God from reason and personal experience, in contrast to theism (with religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam) which relies on revelation in sacred scriptures or the testimony of other people. Deism became prominent in Great Britain, France, and the United States in the 17th and 18th centuries and continues to this day in the form of Classical Deism and Modern Deism.

I understand how you feel, sort of like an older child who was just told that Santa and the Easter Bunny don't really exist. Such children having strongly believed the myth all their lives react with the same smug hostility toward whomever told them the truth. Please don't smugly tell people what to do, or what they celebrate. You have no idea, your entire mentality being limited to the tiny closet of christianity. Where you are I once was. But unlike you I have grown up and thrown away childish beliefs.
I do celebrate Yuletime, but as a knowledgeable Deist, not as a superstitious christian. To better understand the true meaning of Christmas you need to watch the part 1 of the Zeitgeist m...

I do celebrate Yuletime, but as a knowledgeable Deist, not as a superstitious christian. To better understand the true meaning of Christmas you need to watch the part 1 of the Zeitgeist movie: http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
And the date is precisely correct, as you shall see in the movie - just not for the reasons you've been educated to believe.
I believe in reason and reality, not some moldy stories made up by ignorant tribesmen who, while sitting around a campfire in a desert a few thousand years ago, couldn't even fathom the law of cause and effect. The book you erroniously call the word of God is nothing more than the word of those ignorant tribesmen - the true word of God is His creation: nature. As Paine said:

"If we permit ourselves to conceive right ideas of things, we must necessarily affix the idea, not only of unchangeableness, but of the utter impossibility of any change taking place, by any means or accident whatever, in that which we would honour with the name of the Word of God; and therefore the Word of God cannot exist in any written or human language.
The continually progressive change to which the meaning of words is subject, the want of an universal language which renders translation necessary, the errors to which translations are again subject, the mistakes of copyists and printers, together with the possibility of wilful alteration, are of themselves evidences that human language, whether in speech or in print, cannot be the vehicle of th

e Word of God.--The Word of God exists in something else.

Did the book called the Bible excel in purity of ideas and expression all the books now extant in the world, I would not take it for my rule of faith, as being the Word of God; because the possibility would nevertheless exist of my being imposed upon. But when I see throughout the greatest part of this book scarcely anything but a history of the grossest vices, and a collection of the most paltry and contemptible tales, I cannot dishonour my Creator by calling it by his name."

Pane's `Age of Reason' proved the bible to be a forgery, and in over 200 years has never been successfully refuted.

Likewise, no one has ever been able to disprove that nature is the true word of God.

Bibles, being created by men are the word of men. Only nature is the word of God.

I really do not care what you think about the founding of America. I just offer up the facts without my spin. Apperently you are bent on the propaganda.
