Why is not a deist god considered immoral or at last amoral?
Is it because a deist god is said to have no involvement at all, make no demands, have no ethical implication?
I think you hit the crux of it there. Personal gods (especially of the Abrahamic flavor) always seem to have a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. The deist god didn't say anything in the first place.
...which truly says a lot about the characteristics the human race has assigned to god. Even now in a forum filled with enlightened people, I've got atheists demanding I tell them what good a god is that doesn't get involved. You see, whether it be subconscious or not, even the unbelievers are assigning god attributes that are completely human.
Why is it so important to you that my God be involved in my life????
Why does my God have to make sense to you?
