I've always been both, even pantheistic, but none bother to ask generally.

Deist in that I believe in an ultimate creative force.

Theistic in that I jave belief in one God as the creator and ruler of the universe, without rejection of revelation (distinguished from deism ).

Pantheistic in that I do indeed believe all existence to be of GOD.

Hope that helps.

I just don't get how people can justifiably insist that GOD; the creator of all existence,  wouldn't care about or guide that creation or formation.

Deism & Pantheism and Theism are two groupings of ideas which have a fundamentally incompatible idea of what a god is. Neither deists nor pantheists believe in intentionally active gods while theists do. You can't really try to say I'm one or the other, because you ascribe to your idea of god two natures which cannit coexist.

Oh, and from your beliefs cited you are a theist. Answer me this though why do you ascribe to go the natur of a five year old spoiled brat? That's why I cannot accept any of the gods believed in, they are too human, too petty and too limited to be anything other than our imagination.
Have you looked up Panentheism?

Panentheism (meaning "all-in-God", from the Ancient Greek πᾶν pân, "all", ἐν en, "in" and Θεός Theós, "God") is the belief that the divine interpenetrates every part of the universe and extends, timelessly (and, presumably, spacelessly) beyond it. Unlike pantheism, which holds that the divine and the universe are identical,[1] panentheism maintains a distinction between the divine and non-divine and the significance of both.[2]

They are a reflection of our worst traits, what man in his worst nightmares imagined that it was possible for him to do given the power and with the requisite lack of morality.

Have you tried working with an extant infinite substance? A quark-gluon singularity with no external border?

Too many are trying to think of God's personality, which is almost guaranteed to be an ego projection...too few think of the substance of God.
