Deism: Philosophies
built 178 days ago
Deism rejects the sole divinity of the first Christian, finding divinity in the work of all humanist thinkers, poor and rich, East and West, from Socrates to Einstein, from St. Francis to Gandhi, from Crazy Horse to Morhei Ueshiba. In real terms, the prophetic “Second Coming” is the re-emergence of Deism, Enlightenment Humanism, on the global front, when the people stop talking about enlightened humans and start thinking like them, incorporating enlightenment values into global political philosophy where they properly belong.

There were other influences which gave rise to English Deism. Among them were the invention of the printing press in Gutenberg (1450); theological controversies including Gnosticism, Origen's allegorical method, anti-Trinitarianism, unorthodox Christologies, and Pelagianism-Arminianism. Other influences included the philosophies of Socrates, Plato, Democritus, Leucippus, Epicurus, Cicero, Plutarch, Celsus, Porphyry, and Philostratus; and Protestant Scholasticism.27
