When I was a kid, I always thought Churchill's first name was 'Thatbastard'. I'd be happy to see the statue removed, but I'm a little distressed as to how they're going about it.

If the statue gets successfully kept down then that's what God wants.

Deism just means I believe in a deity. Theism also tends to assume that a particular religion is true and that God intervenes in the universe.

Deism’s still as irrational as theism.

You're a theist, but it's okay. If I trip and fall, then that's what your very personal intervening god wants.

Do you have any evidence that Tommy Robinson is a white supremacist? I'm English and judge him to be a nasty piece of work, yes, but his beef is with immigrants, and Islam in particular, not genetic "race."

To me intervention would be that a God that created the universe sometimes chose to affect that universe. I don't believe in that.
I'm a theist in the sense that I'm not an atheist. I'm also a deist in the sense that the God I believe in isn't of any specific religion, it didn't create the universe because it isn't separate to it, and it doesn't intervene in it because any supposed 'intervention' is just the universe acting on itself.

It's very likely that all of your own misrepresentations of your thoughts turn on novel personal interpretations of given terms. You can call yourself whatever you want. I'll decide that you're whatever term best fits the things you describe no matter what you choose to call it.
That's how words work.

It must be great to pick and choose the irrational aspects in which to believe in reference to that which clearly doesn’t exist.
