{A proposed "Great Debate" topic. - Advancement dependent on RAZD first accepting doing the topic.}
Searching for a condensed version of the topic.
My
last message at the now closed "Percy is a Deist - Now what's the difference between a deist and an atheist?" topic:
I never was interested in Percy or RAZD's justifications for their deism.

Setting aside most or all of what is in the above cited message and topic, I have one question: Isn't it a mighty fine line between deist and atheist? I think so.
In practical terms I don't think anybody disagrees with this.
Not that such is the case for Percy or RAZD, but I feel one might easily (to make use of the in vogue term
) flip-flop-flip-flop between atheism and deism. Maybe one morning you wake up from some sort of profound dream and find yourself a deist. Later that day, the profundity of the dream fades and you're back to atheist. Repeat cycle as often as you want.
Regardless, I don't see how the difference between deism and atheism has the slightest effect on how you run your life. To me, deism is trivial to the point of all but absolutely insignificant.
Or something like that.

RAZD - I am not in the slightest interested in your justifications for your deism, other than how it might tie into to the topic title question. I am perfectly content to accept such.
But I ask that you answer that question without diagrams and via a minimum amount of verbage.
So RAZD, the question is, how does your deism effect your day to day life?
