I've met many deists in real life who are equally as intelligent, my sister for one. However, I've had the argument with her, or discussion, and her answers were just as unsatisfactory to me as what DP's are here. I'm not saying the answers are necessarily wrong in any way, but they are quite infuriating to me as I just don't understand how a person would console those particular answers when they are perfectly rational in every other department but believing in god.
Likewise and I hope I did better the second time around with Blackout. If I seem to struggle, it's only because you're asking me to put emotional/sentimental/instinctive concepts into words.
