Question for Deists

RE: Question for Deists
(March 25, 2017 at 2:42 pm)Fred Hampton Wrote: My question to deists:  Where do you believe your God is?  Where is the "somewhere"?  That is, how would you locate "Him/Her" if you had to?  I am very interested to hear the answers.

Generally, it may depend on what you believe the nature of god is, but the monotheist conception holds that God is independent of space and time, and therefore lacks spatial coordinates but may be considered to be omnipresent (I don't quite know if Deists would accept this, likely not). Omnipresence means that God is present everywhere through personal volition. An analogy that could work here would be the internet/wi fi and devices. Wi Fi exists, but a medium like a device is needed to tap in for use. Same with people and the monotheist God. God would be knowable everywhere, in the same sense that mathematics would be applicable/workable everywhere. Also, God is omnipresent in the sense that he knows everything that is going on, including with people's volition (as I said earlier). 

My response to this would be that God isn't omnipresent since I don't believe God exists (and God needs to exist to be omnipresent). I am more of a positive atheist when it comes to the monotheist God (but also agnostic). 

Another possible response is that a society with scientific knowledge was able to spawn our universe and they are located in a different universe that is part of a so-called multiverse. Someone could also say that the creator God died off. This could depend on how you define "God".
