Hello, new Theist here!
December 3, 2013 at 8:06 pm
Hey there, I'm a Theist from Louisiana!
More technically I'm a Deist, but I prefer Theist because of I emphasize that God has a personality. Some of you already know me at The Thinking Atheist, but I cam here after I was banned for something I didn't do to talk about Theism and Atheism friendly-ly.
Yours,
TTT

Deism has room for beliefs in a god with a personality? ...
Anyway, welcome! And don't get banned this time!

It became transparent very early on...it helped when I outed myself, of course. It even inspired a thread about how some socks are better than others.
What about you? Do you swing mainly for the A-team being nearly a Deist, or do you veer towards the supernatural a bit more?

Given that you feel God has a personality and is 'involved' with the material world, I'm not sure you can label yourself as a Deist at all.
Sort of like someone saying, 'I'm 100% vegetarian, except for beef. And pork. And lamb.....'
