Why are deists so annoying?

[Napoléon]

What questions? All I've seen you do is re-define intellectual honesty to justify your accusation. What do you want?

Now you really are being intellectually dishonest, I asked plenty of questions.

If you think I'm wrong for asking them, feel free to explain why. If you think I have the wrong idea about why you believe, feel free to explain why.

All you're doing is avoiding answering the questions. To me, this just makes me think you're being intellectually dishonest. You don't appear to want to answer the questions. You prefer the ignorance of belief. Again, maybe you're more inclined to a theist's line of thought than an atheist's.

If you only answer one question from me, make it this one:

"How do you rationally justify your own belief in god"

I'm yet to hear an actual explanation of this.


In fact, I stand by what I say, you are being intellectually dishonest. Period.

When one avoids an honest, deliberate and comprehensive approach to a matter because it may introduce an adverse effect on personally and professionally held views and beliefs.
Intellectual dishonesty is a failure to apply standards of rational evaluation that one is aware of, usually in a self-serving fashion. If one judges others more critically than oneself, that is intellectually dishonest. If one deflects criticism of a friend or ally simply because they are a friend or ally, that is intellectually dishonest. etc.
