Oh! Revelations..
Let's see, contradiction, absurdities, cruelty, injustice. And that's just the first chapter. Man this god sounds more evil than benevolent, a being with no morals, and little respect of human lives. And BTW. The Visitor does not proclaim any religion, but he sure likes to quote their literature, howeve he's not catholic, nor is he christian, not a jew, nor even a muslim, not a grishna, and defenetly not a budahist, and not any form of organized religion. His zeal, is that god exists, and his proofs are all the literatures of all past religious rhetorical bullshiet written throught the ages. He is an enlighten man, however his enlightenment is warped by so much contradictory dogma, he will quote the veda's and the bible though proclaim his not of either faith, his only faith is that god exists. He searches for evidence of this existence through the literature of all inspired religious mythological writings.
My friend, if you truly want to be respected such as a diest, then don't quote man's religious dogma or mythological believes, most deist I know of were more humanists than anything else, they don't go quoting every mythological bullsheit they have read, however they "deist" are only proclaiming that god created heaven and earth, and then just left us to our own wills, not to interfere with man's affairs.
