I am new to both agnosticism and deism. Perhaps you are right jaej, there is little ‘practical’ distinction beyond a metaphysical debate between deism and agnosticism. I am just curious and want a better understanding of agnosticism and deism. Currently, I value both highly and just want to learn their subtle differences and why they have their differences. It is to help me have a better understanding of my world while cultivating my belief system.
