I'm saying, any theistic notion of god or gods is indefensible, which is why it fails at every turn, and your way of trying to get around that was to fall back on the deistic god. What that does is give theists, who will act on beliefs, a sense that their numbers are greater and that reason could not call a deist all the way to the rationalist/atheist side, strengthening their beliefs and falling deeper into that madness. Giving any legitimacy to these notions is not just pointless but unethical. So you can't really even defend deism. Claiming to be agnostic instead of an atheist isn't quite as bad but still doesn't exactly help.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
