I'd say my ground is somewhere between deism and mainstream Christianity (OK. seems like mainstream is being one of my favorite words recently. I need to find a new one!) I believe God leaves things alone unless you specifically ask Him to give you a hand. He won't just do things for you, but He will help you if you're willing to make an effort for yourself. But it's your decision, not His. That's what I think. I don't go for the chaotic world theory, because I don't think the universe is all that full of chaos. It seems too well designed to be the product of chance. But believe me, I tried not to believe in God. There were times in my life when I wished with all my heart that God didn't exist. But my head just wouldn't let me think that. So I believe in God. I would say "I know God exists," but I know that I don't know everything. I'll just say I'd bet my life on the existance of God. And His intrinsic goodness.
