Oh shut it, go back to your bible please. Both atheists and deist think your religion is nonsense

Speak for yourself slow brain.
I saw Zuckerberg visiting the pope the other day.

I can see you are a bad P.R.O for atheism.

grin
Besides, deists are not foolish enough to assume their ancestors were evolved fishes with fish brains like yours.

I'm a slow brain but you're insulting evolution which you clearly don't understand. I'm not a pro, your arguments are just malicious.

Also it's an honour to meet the Pope, for the record I don't think religious=stupid but you and a number of theists here seem to enjoy foolishly attacking great science and then defend biblical pseudoscience.

Because God is a being (living) and the universe is a thing (non-living). Living being creates non living thing.
What if I say that the universe is a living being, just like God? On that basis, would you accept that, like God, the universe needs no creator?

Please let's focus on what we are talking about. We are talking about God and the universe. You seem to not believe my claim that the universe is a living being, yet you believe that God is a living being. What evidence of God being a living being do you have, apart from "his creation"?

If anything deism is closer to atheism than theism. Deists believe in a non interventional god, if your God does nothing then he might as well not exis.

@onyenze123: Why don't you believe that the universe is a living entity which could have just existed without being created by another being? Afterall, you believe that God is a living being who just exists and wasn't created. Why can't you believe the same thing about the universe?

It might not question the 'existence' but it would mean the the god you serve is not the creator

Because you haven't experience or witness the power of God live and direct with your eyes doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

I don't believe (the same thing about the universe) because the universe has limitations, God has no limits.

...there are a whole lot of contradictions and confusion with regards to the teachings of revealed religions. These havegenerated so many controversies, wars, enslavement of the mind and backwardness. I have seen that in the bible, countless threads between atheists and theists here on Nairaland, from other religious books, from the preachings of christian and other religious leaders and so on. I can't entangled myself in this confusion and contradictions...

A personal relationship with a non existent entity you mean.
An unprovable God might as well not exist.

Deism is a great step forward Onyenze123. And I respect deists, they unlike the arrogant theist, don't believe God laid down a set of guidelines and rules for man to live by, things as trivial as what you do on Sundays, to what you eat or drink.

The theistic Gods are insults to human intelligence, why would a creator of the infinite universe, come down to help a nomadic tribe of desert dwellers kill and enslave other desert dwellers, why would a God create something and then tell you not to eat it, why would a God create you a certain way and then condemn you for it.
Deist simply believe in a creator and I can accept that.

Unprovable God ? You really need to watch the terms you use

Atheism is the conscious explicit rejection of God(s) . This means no matter how compelling the evidence is , you'll simply refuse to accept .

No. Deism is fundamentally different from atheism.
