I usually read further, but the lack of issue people were having with it was a little much for me  Deists are frogs, by the way. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I said it was embarrassing that you weren't addressing his actual point, you saw STFU and claimed that that was his point when his point was clearly not 'newbies stfu' it was, 'lets move past the same tired arguments, here they are now get past it cuz I'm tired of talking about the same shit in circles with you.' Get the point?

But hey I don't believe everything I read I just read the wikipedia page on him. Nothing bad there. In fact I'm a bigger fan. He didn't like the South African racist regime, no. He triumphed against it, peacefully. He married a child bride as a child himself, as was the custom (he was 13, she was 14). The guy was an inspiration and way ahead of his time. Even today the caste system and female oppression still exist and this guy was fighting it 100 years ago.

If anyone needs any clarification on this point, deism is like atheism but with poetic flourishes. I don't even correct anyone who says I'm an atheist. The hair-splitting distinction is more than anyone who uses the word "atheist" as a pejorative will be able to comprehend anyway.
