Deism: I don't get it

[Cinjin]

This is the first "deism" thread that I've actually enjoyed reading. DP as always shares most all of my viewpoints about deism and like him, most of my friends consider me an atheist - which of course, I feel is a compliment.


For me "God" is a comfortable notion when he (and I only use the 'he' pronoun because it is the proper grammatical default way to address an unknown person) is unknown and undefined. Basically, for me the deistic God is an enjoyable hope that I will someday get to have a few of my many questions answered. That being said, I am unconcerned with the outcome of my death and I have absolutely no fear (something I had LOTS of when I was a sheep worshiping that dickbag Jehovah) of dying with the label deistic atheist ... or whatever one you'd like to slap on me.
