Maybe I'm misunderstanding deism, or maybe there are different "versions" of it. But a deist regards the tenets of all organized religions as rubbish. Jesus, the afterlife... these are things that a deist rejects.
At least, this is according to Wikipedia and deism.com, which may not be reliable sources of authority on deism. |
I'm just saying that most religions or philosophies have an all-or-nothing approach; either you subscribe to every facet of our belief or you're not one of us. Many people, including myself, don't fit neatly into the box of established philosophies, making it often difficult to define what one believes, but it seems that Il Deuce is "borrowing" the core essence of deism, which is the belief that a deity created everything and stepped back to let it run.
