Maybe you don't know what the definition of deism is, then.
Your post numbers 394 and 396 on this thread, would define you as a theist. The fact that you don't claim to have a religion, does not mean you are a deist.
Deism - Belief in a god who created the universe but does not govern worldly events, does not answer prayers, and has no direct involvement in human affairs.
But you seem to be describing a god that does intervene with regards to love and morality, and in your post just above this one, the god you claim exists "causes people to do everything. Rapists and murders are caused to be rapists and murders and non-rapists and non-murderers are caused to be non-rapists and non-murders. Everything is caused and God is the causer".
This is no deist god you are describing.
