My background is that I'm ex-Christian and find deism fits with reality.
But I'm still fascinated with Christian eschatology.
I have a good friend who is a deist (but has never identified as a Christian).
I would be interested to hear your story. How did you come to faith in the first place? What led you away from Christianity and towards the notion of a more disintetested "creator"?
As you seem interested in Christian Eschatology, I wonder how you view specific future events in the light of a Deistic universe?
P.s. sorry if this question is bit hard to understand, I was intrigued by the apparent uneasy relationship between these positions.
