Yes.
Does this sentient god of yours interact with humanity in any way or does it have any effect on the universe?
I have a lot of ideas on the nature of god. I don't think god ever interacted with humans though.
Then why call it god?
Why not just call it "nothing" if it doesn't interact with humans and he made it up? And this is why I just don't get deists.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
