Go on & have your own little discussions. I'm only doing this poll to see the numbers.

**IamthePope** · June 12, 2006, 01:20 AM

Just a poll. No debate. I'm dissapointed

**John I Tzimisces** · June 12, 2006, 01:23 AM

ORTHODOX. Left out. Therefore, I'm shoveled in with "Pagan" I suppose.

**Siblesz** · June 12, 2006, 01:25 AM

Agnostic.

**MaximiIian** · June 12, 2006, 01:41 AM

Atheist. There is no proof of god, thus I'll assume the default: not there. Add to that certain scientific facts that simply don't jive with the christian interpretation of a god, and the numerous unnecessary deaths caused by religious strife, and you can see why I am an atheist.

A Deist maybe? Thomas Jefferson had a similar opinion. He would cut any mention of Jesus out of the Bible with a razor blade. He was a self described Deist. Anyway, read up on Christianity and convert to Catholicism. We'll be waiting.

A deist does not believe in a revealed God; if Jefferson believed in a revealed God that would make him a theist, not a deist.

Well Jefferson is usually regarded as a Deist, as is Ben Franklin.

Paine wrote that deism represented the application of reason to religion. Deists like Paine hoped to settle religious questions permanently and scientifically by reason alone, without revelation.

Orthodoxy or Catholicism comes down to a choice between latin and Greek, longitudinal plan architecture and central plan architecture. Close enough to really make no difference.

If they believed in the truth of the Bible then they were by definition not deists as that is a revealed God.
