Theist - Which is to say I believe in the Christian male God.

Wow, I didn't know so many people in XKI were Atheist!
I'm in the Atheist club! If god is supposedly all-powerful and loving, then why does so much evil and suffering continue in the world when it can be stopped? If god wants to abolish evil, it's obvious by its continued presence on Earth that he can't, which in turn means he isn't omnipotent.
Fear the sock or feel its wrath

Because he doesn't care. I believe in some sort of deity that created what we call the universe with all it's rules of physics and nature's constants. But they didn't purposefully created humanity. Maybe they set up the constants in a way that it will evovle in something that could recognize (but maybe never grasp, understand and confirm) their existence. They don't watch over us. And even if they would, then only as an observer. I simply believe that because I want to. Makes it easier to comprehend all I know (and don't ^^) about the universe.
I always felt quite alone with that kind of belief, but recently learnt that this is called deism (believing in a god who is no longer present). So the poll is definitely missing a Deist option Because I'm neither theist, nor atheist, nor agnostic (I do believe we COULD prove the existence of this god, not just with our current understanding and knowledge of the world we live in - so I don't qualify for agnostic)
