As a deist I look at the natural world and it's order to conclude the Creator exists (though I admit that his existence or non-existence can't be proven or disproven). As a side note... I don't call the Creator "god" as anything can be called god (guns, money, OU sports, etc).
As a deist I have no fictional books (Bible, Quran, Talmud) of revelation of a god speaking to mankind through dreams, visions, miracles or hearsay. There is no faith, prayer or rituals to be observed and performed... which are the basis of religion. Unlike the Christian, the Jew or the Muslim... I don't take exception to anyone making fun of deism. I don't become all indignant and pissed off. I don't engage in crusades and wars against competing religions.
Absent all the BS that comprise the various religious cults it's a stretch to say deism is a religion.
Anywayz... time to head down to Dallas to pick up my final load for the week. Then the weekend is mine.
