-Pass anti-abortion legislation because of my faith
-Legalize same-sex marriage because of my faith

I'm not quite sure I understand this. In what ways does Deism facilitate beliefs that would specifically lead to making these decisions. I would have pegged you as simply a generic theist (i.e. not Deism, but not any particular religion) after you said that you had experienced god. Now I'm just confused.

Anyway, Welcome
