He dissed your capacity to comprehend the distinction, which seems pretty justifiable right now.
A deist is just like an atheist except they believe in a God that created the universe.

It would be pretty difficult to invoke or worship or pray to a God that you are not even sure is there. One must must be sure in the existence of such a God as a bare minimum, otherwise there is no difference between them or atheists regarding the matter (from my perspective anyway).
I can't agree to any of that...I don't even agree that someone can truthfully claim to know their God exists (from my perspective)...but I believe in your sincerity. Sometimes different perspectives can't be resolved.
