Why not ?

So I guess if you are a deist, you reject GodAlmighty and the Bible as being relevant?

I look at most of the religious post. I have never seen anyone of the Deist faith on here. But you never know some may come along.

I reject all so-called divinely inspired holy books, & some deists believe God is almighty & others don't. All I know is that God was powerful & wise enough to create the universe. Don't know if that qualifies as omnipotence or not.

Maybe. How can I tell if I am one?

If you believe that God created the universe but doesn't interact with it; if you reject holy books as inspired; if you reject the divinity of jesus, or the doctrine of the trinity, then you are probably a deist. There, are, however, some deists who believe that God may have interacted with with the world at certain key points, such as the evolution of man. There are also christian deists, but they reject jesus' divinity, & look upon him as merely a great religious reformer & teacher. Christian deists reject the miraculous accounts of the bible, but they live by it's moral principles.

OK, probably not, then. I don't believe in belief, and I reject rejection.
