I've only just realised this but deism makes sense in regard to the problems of revealed theology. Why would an all loving and all intelligent God send down messengers and then hinge the salvation of their whole creation that they love so much on the words of human prophets who's words can be misunderstood and even twisted. It just sounds illogical and kinda stupid, I feel God has placed the foundations to live a fulfilling and good life in our hearts and it's completely up to us to find it. We can know and love God through so many more fulfilling ways than strict adherence to dogmatic scripture.

For me I would say The Girl in the fireplace, I love it and it's a great episode. It's just not as great as people say.

I'm not talking about revealed religion, I mean listening to prayers and witnessing our lives. One of the reason I stopped being religious was that the "divine" presence and energy I felt when closest to God was present in every faith, and people of all religions have experienced. I realised that there were 2 options, either there is an all encompassing Higher Power that loves and cares for us no matter what religion or lack there of. Or option 2, it's all a massive placebo effect and there is no God. I still think there is definitely some higher power, maybe God, maybe energy it may be karma I don't know right now. Just wondering where you guys stand on this.
