15:58 here. Meant to say I struggle with whether I'm deist or theist myself.

If you think the creator is hands off, doesn't listen to or answer prayers, nor involves itself in our day to day lives, then Deist also.

I don't need one. I really don't like labels. I am just curious what would be the most applicable label.

Yes, you're a deist.

Deist = belief in a creator, higher power sort of being.

Atheist = does not believe that any god(s), creator(s) or the supernatural exists.

Agnostic = thinks it could be either way, but remains unsure.

Why do you need a label ?

I look up the definitions and am still not sure. So . . .

I be believe in a creator. I think the evidence is all around us. I don't embrace a particular religion. I think the Bible and other religious texts are, directly or indirectly, inspired by a creator, possibly have more in common than we think, but possibly misinterpreted by man. So, while not embracing any religion I do not reject any.

I guess I'm most closely identified as a deist, right?
