Disregard what GIT says, the Religioustolerance article answers your question. Deist's rationalize their beliefs as much as theist's do, Christian's will often times use the identical arguments as Deist's in order to support their beliefs. I believ ewe've more in common than not because considering we use faith as a method to gain knowledge. Agnostic-atheists are the only group that do not have faith.

I call shenanigans.
A personal god is dead. I have explained this before in detail.

I missed out on this one;it should be good, so would you mind naming the topic or linking to it?

Please state in detail of your personal god and I will argue against. I need detailed explanation of your god and then I need the vagueness of your god.
