Do deists worship a god or just acknowledge a god?

1) Deists believe that God is not to be found in organized religion, but in the nature of the world around them and in human reason.\n\n2) Of course this varies from person to person, but I can tell you that seeing the interconnectedness of everything on earth gives me a greater appreciation for life and for other people.\n\n3) Generally I believe so, but they don't share the concepts of heaven/hell.  Again, it varies.

I love Deism.  It's very logical and rejects dogma while not rejecting the possibility of a Supreme Being.

Pardon my intrusion, but I do believe in God, 100%.  Not any god or idol of worship, but Jesus Christ, the one true God.  As a believer, my opinion is that "those" who don't believe in God ARE missing out on something (many things), including friendship (if you're alone in this world), fellowship (with other believers, not persecutors), and spiritual satisfaction (always knowing that if God brings you "to it", then God will bring you "through it".)  Good question,  probably no right or wrong answers though...

Yes, God is God no matter what you call him (or her) or how you choose to worship.\nI wish everyone understood this!

Hinduism tells me that the Divine manifested everything and everyone in the universe and that the Divine dwells in everything and everyone..thus I would have no problem offering worship to this man, because I would also be worshipping the Divine within this man. Each time a Hindu greets another Hindu we say Namaste which means the divine in me bows to the divine in you. It is said that whenever two people meet, God meets God. I do not need money to worship the Divine within all manifested things, although it would be no different than other blessings that have come about through my actions (karma).

When I call upon my gods, I feel their presences as awe inspiring divine beings that are worthy of honor, devotion and love. I should mention that these beings feel very secure and mature, not needing to threaten or bribe people people to get them to worship them.\n\nIf I instead call upon the immature and greedy god of the monotheists (who has succeeded in convincing his followers that he's the only one), I feel nothing but a psychosomatic urge to worship an abusive father figure due to terror of punishment.

Each religion believes that their god/spirit is the only one. The better question, however, is: Is there really a god in the first place.

:]\nRather , eo you have sufficient worth, that God should accept your worship

I think it is an excellent theory.  While many different religions may call their god (and goddess) by different names, I think in the end we are all worshipping the same god.  We all just have different ways of worship.  God/dess is not confused - the Divine knows we are speaking to it and loves us all the same.

I would say..."Well to some people God really does exist but to some people he just a myth made by people and some people believe in the devil so it all depends whether you believe in God!"

We are ALL born atheist, that is "without belief in gods".  That's called "implicit atheism".  Even if we're programmed to "search" for something to worship (which I highly doubt, by the way), we BEGIN without any actual knowledge of deities.  We are, by default, without belief and therefore atheistic.

IN THAT case we need to agree in as to what a god is to you. Here are the definitions of  God, and A god: \nA being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.\nThe force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.\nA being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.\nAn image of a supernatural being; an idol.\nOne that is worshiped, idealized, or followed: Money was their god.\nA very handsome man.\nA powerful ruler or despot.\n   Notice that i said God and a god, ince you mentioned christianity, then we need to talk about God, because Christianity does not praise gods, But "God" .Pay attention to the 1st definition. That is the one that applies to Chritianity, because they praise it, But they do not praise satan. Satan is just something they dont want to deal with. A god is something you worship, it is not something you detest.

You #&$#*$@! HEATHEN!!!\n\nHOW DARE YOU BLASPHEME GOD????!!!????????\n\nThere most certainly is a God and He even has "In God We Trust" engraved on Him to ensure everyone knows who their real God is.\n\nHe is usually green, has pictures of dead presidents on His face and many other embellishments to acknowledge His deity. He is worshiped by more people than all other Gods combined, throughout all of history.\n\nHe is portable and convertible for necessaries and for entertainment.\n\nYou better repent or He will curse you and deprive you of His blessings.\n\nAll Hail the Federal Reserve & the Almighty DOLLAR!!!\n\nThe one true God.

Yes of course. You should think whatever feels best to you. I do believe God is happy that everyone is worshiping Him no matter which religion they choose. I personally like to take a little taste from everything available at the religion buffet.
