Life as a Deist

[genkaus]

I use the word 'outside' to convey the lack of relation. It's like saying that a criminal is outside the law. It helps to use both the left- and right-side of the brain while applying reason. Try not to rely too much on only analytic thinking. Half of life is understood by association and metaphor.

You should reflect upon what you are trying to convey before putting it into words. You started the argument specifically with existence of a relation - as in a causal relation. Now you are contradicting it by indicating a lack of relation.

Hypothetically, one could get to Deism just as easily from the same starting point.

As did I. But other evidence helps you correct that mistake.
