If your going to stick to being a deist I can't help much. Might look to another theist for help but can't recommend the ones on this site.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I just spoke over a course of 2 days with 2 christians about how they are using fear mongering by saying ( If you don't believe, you are going to hell.) They say they are not fear mongering but trying to save me. It is really affecting my health.

 They are trying to "save me" but really they are pushing me further away by basically threatening me with the you don't believe= hell.  kinda down right now don't know what to do Sad.

No sarcasm intended when I say this:

3 Simple Steps:

1. Stop.
2. Think.
3. Repeat.

Formulate your own opinion.  I assume you are an otherwise intelligent adult lacking any real psychological or cognitive issues.  I feel you're already on your way to making your decision.  Perhaps the one that doesn't involve fear?

And welcome.  You're in for a ride regardless of what side of the line you fall on.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Why?

I do believe a god exists, I just don't know which one. Reason being is, everything around me is beautiful/complex/full of discoveries etc. I just feel there has to be something/someone out there that can create all of this.  I don't dwell on this issue much though, as I live my life as it comes not worrying about gods and such.  

So I guess in a way I live my life as a Atheist ( Not thinking about god(s)), but when asked the question of what I believe? It's Deists. Hey at least Deists ( at least me anyways) don't shove a religion down someones throat right? lol Because deists are kinda neutral. I neither care nor don't care. I suppose that makes me Vulnerable to these Christians lol

I just don't like Christians or any religion for that matter to impose their beliefs using fear. It's very petty to be quite honest.

But what created the "something/someone" that created everything else?

Tell those fucktards you are a satanist or something like that, and they'll leave you alone. Or my personal favourite, preach atheism to them, and let them know, just by looking at you their non-existent souls would be tainted Tongue

Ignoring them somehow seems to only encourage them, but a good mindfuck keeps them at bay permanently.


Welcome
I haven't met many real good deists here, so I am looking forward to making your acquaintance.
