Athiests?

Then what are my farts called? 😕😛

Maybe back door digestive system gaseous waste... analogous in this loosely knit conversation

to falsehood eliminated through the sphinctered trap door in the regenerate human soul.

Well us deists don't really believe in "God"...just a higher power.

But yeah...basically a clock maker...made it...wound it up...and walked away.

You're the first Deist I have ever interacted with personally. Deism was actually much more popular around the "Founding Fathers" era of American history, but now is replaced by Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and all those other good religions.

And atheism.

Deism is basically atheism with faith in God; an odd combination. A-theism, meaning without God, because God is not active in the Universe according to Deism.

"Atheism with a faith in God" is contradictory. As you said, the definition of atheism is the disbelief in a God, so the belief of "atheism with a faith in God" is something of a paradox.

That's true, but Deism is not quite atheism. It does however assert that God does not interfere in the universe. Thus the universe is in a sense a-theistic; it is without God.

Whole issue and most impotant decision in life is... What do you think of Christ.

Rubbish.
The most important decision is how you raise your children and I challenge any parent to tell me otherwise.

Any parent who cares about their children does the best they can - its hardly one decision but rather a whole series of decisions.
I would say that one of the most important decisions regarding children is whether and when to have them - too many people who shouldn't have them or shouldn't have so many still do. I know some people who don't seem to like their children.
