Thanks, DeistPaladin. That was a great explanation. We do seem to believe (basically) the same things, with one glaring exception. Heheh. I like to put things in a nutshell to see if I understand correctly, so here goes...
When it comes the existence of a deity part, you basically believe in the 'Einsteinian God', except that you go one step further and attribute sentience and conscious intent to it. In essence, turning it into an actual 'being'. Is that correct? (I am simply asking, not trying to start a debate or anything)
As a deist, is it correct to assume that you believe this deity created the universe and then never interacted with it? Do you have theories as to why? Is he gone? Is he simply watching?
