Meh....Deism isn't my cup of tea. Most deists cannot show me why there is a deity, or why I should believe in one (much like theists). In my opinion, indifference to the unknown is NOT a good attitude, but framing the natural world to fit your beliefs certainly is. I don't think you should be so quick to assume that there is a deity in the first place, when we mere humans are winging things like quantum mechanics and astronomy enough as it is. Either way, you are not in the least bit offensive. Deists are essentially atheists with, what seems to be, a more positively wishful attitude concerning the universe as a whole. I have a couple of deist friends, and I would have tagged them as "atheist" before having learned of their true status. I suppose we come from the same camp. Who doesn't like Jefferson and Franklin?
