People walking about with somewhat nebulous ideas about God strikes me as preferable to a situation where people know exactly what God wants and exactly how I should behave and exactly what they need to do to make sure I get it right.

True, there aren't a lot of fundamental deist. This thread occurred to me when that Poe came in here the other day talking about why atheist think god doesn't exist, or something like that. In her religious views she put that she believed in god but not organized religion. I couldn't find her thread again , so I started this one.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
