Hazal is a 22-year-old young girl studying at law school. We've known him for over three years, but we haven't had the opportunity to get together and talk. We met and chatted at a friend's visit last week. The young girl stated that the family put a lot of pressure on her in religious matters and said, "I believe that the universe has a creator, but I don't think there is a need for concepts such as the Prophet, the hereafter, punishment and reward. God has already created everything perfectly and the universe has the ability to transform itself, but I told my family this. I can't explain," she said. According to Hazal, the mother was behind the times, she did not have the competence to deal with the events in the light of scientific evaluations, so her statements did not matter.
 
Hazal twitches while conveying her feelings and adds, “I trust my mind a lot.” When she realized that I was listening to her carefully, she said, "I know you think like my family, but I still trusted and shared it," and said, "Why put yourself under pressure when God has already created everything perfectly? are you inserting? Why are you stuck within the rules?” she asked. 
 
Questions are the key to learning, and people ask questions for two reasons. First, the person wants to have information about a subject he/she needs. Second, the person is in an effort to overcome the interlocutor and prove herself that she will insist on continuing the conflict no matter how patient you are. Hazal wanted to share her feelings, she was trying to advance the conversation by asking questions, but her intention was to continue the conflict that started with her mother and to defeat me and justify herself.
 
Our education system, which is organized according to the materialist system, exposes our children to dangers that end in scars. Young people are subject to what is fashionable, not what is right, what is popular, and they are attributed a virtual power. Young people, stuck in the swamp of deism, ignore the basic values ​​of religion, despise and idolize reason and science, and head towards danger.
 
Hazal, who advocates deism, says God has already created perfect and everything perfectly, there is no need for prophets and books, why don't you understand this, and says I am not going to adopt what my illiterate mother believes, I am a university student, I question, I research, I look at events with a more rational approach, says your mind alone She believed she could solve anything. She argues that God does not interfere with her, therefore she attaches importance to free thought, and that human beings can find goodness and moral values ​​with their minds, but she did not comment and could not comment on what the measure of this should be. Hazal was just one of our young people who joined the caravan of disappearances with her inner conflicts and mental disorganization, and she was actually looking for herself.
 
Although deism is touted as a new trend, it is said that its roots go back to the Greek philosopher Aristotle. As a matter of fact, Aristotle argues that all moving beings depend on the principle that is the first mover, and that this means eternal, unchanging, and power on its own, but he states that this does not affect any being in the universe, and that it is only a moving being. Ages are changing, history is being rewritten every period, but human quests and dead ends never change.
 
Deism, which spread rapidly among young people, was built on two fundamental principles, one is the understanding of God who created the universe but does not interfere with anything, and the other is the view and glorification of reason and science as the measure of everything. Young people, who cannot be fed from the right and reliable sources, fall into this danger and start to deny the basic principles of religion and see science as the measure of everything. Conflicting with their mind, will and conscience, these children become prone to mental problems and find themselves in a dead end. And because they can't find the real address of what they're looking for, they can't get out of this street.
