First pause
Until now, I had always thought that a deist
is someone who believes that there is a God but He doesn't interfere
with the physical reality but merely observes it. But that is not the
proper definition: a deist is someone who believes that there is a God,
but the basis of belief in God should be reason and observation of
reality instead of some mystic revelation. This view is often combined
with the idea that in the beginning, God racked up the balls, made a
perfect billiard shot and now just watches it unfold, but this is not
necessary. Oh well, live and learn.
