(270 posts)I'm what I would call a New Deist -- not a Deist like many of the Founding Fathers were, but a Deist who can benefit from all that we have learned in the last two hundred years.
I believe in a description of God or Deity which, among other things, states that God is the Divine Light Energy-Source of our existence and the Essence of all life and form -- from the smallest nano particle to the atom to the galaxy to the universe -- and it is also known as the Cosmic Consciousness.
It's not some "Almighty Superman" in the sky, or any person or entity, or even a being as we know it. (For more information on this, read The Nature of God.)
Therefore, I disagree with you that "there is nothing about any idea of god that makes it any more special than any other idea." I believe in the idea or concept of God that is compatible with science.
