It doesn't make much sense that a great God would create a universe and then just let it go on it's own, not caring. I would think that it would be the other way around and that he would be involved in it's affairs.
I beg to differ. Deism makes a lot more sense than traditional theism. A God that allows suffering and catastrophes and disorder to occur in this world is best explained by deism that proposes God being too grand to be involved in our affairs. A loving God would make no sense with all this unnecessary suffering in the world.
