Is the deist God most logical?

[Muffled]

One of the more logical models, at least.

I believe I enjoy logic so show me what that is so I can learn from it. So far I have seen nothing.

 

[Muffled]

It may be seen as more logical than most ontological model because the deist God is more untouchable.

I believe I do not see the logic in that. Why would it be more logical to be untouchable than touchable? I think there must be an a priori bias that is in play here.

I was speaking more in an objective sense. A priori is more of an objective logic, isn't it?

An omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent being wouldn't behave like an arbitrary, irrational, sociopathic caricature of some random species of primate on some random planet in some random corner of some random galaxy.

What you call bias here is a principle of logic known as Occam's Razor. To believe in a deistic god, one has to make very few assumptions. A theist not only has to defend the same positions a deist has but a host of other, independent assumptions also, thus making the theist god less logical.

I believe it is illogical to think a God who invested in creation would abandon that investment.

Weird statement from a Christian, since it both supports universalism and condemns God's actions in the Flood Myth and the Revelation account.

I just read a thread about Tao
Starting with: “The Tao” is indefinable

Many Religious people love putting in "boxes"
Even God must go into their "box"

They better study about Tao
Before defining God

Gods are deists.

No. A priori means that you have reached a conclusion without any premises which is illogical. In scientific terms one does not say something is so without evidence.

I agree and there is no evidence that God behaves that way.

I believe I do not see the logical tie in to universalism.

I believe God's interest in people is very much on display with the flood.

You said "I believe it is illogical to think a God who invested in creation would abandon that investment."

What is damning someone to Hell but God "abandoning his investment"?

What is the genocide of the Flood but God "abandoning his investment"?

Unless you consider the bible an authentic, accurate depiction (I certainly wouldn't.)

Not much of a go- display as there was
no flood.
Other things tho that are on display-

Conclusion without evidence as in
A priori. And conclusion despite
disproof of conclusion.
