And the number one sign that you are a Deist:
1- You (still) can't really define "Deism"
Deism sounds a lot like Daoism.
Daoism -- philosophical system developed by of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu
advocating a simple honest life and noninterference with the course of
natural events [syn: Taoism, Daoism]
Deism -- The belief, based solely on reason, in a God who created the
universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting
no
influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation.
-Richard
Have you read the Tao Te Ching? It doesn't resemble anything
you've just described.
Well, that was my feelings too, but you mentioned that
Deism sounds a lot like Daoism. I didn't think so either,
but I'm afraid I'm not an expert on Daoism, so I am not
qualified to comment. Now, regarding Deism, I know a
great deal about this topic.
