: I don't know if I am a Deist or Agnostic - assuming there is a difference.
: Can any of you explain the difference?
short version.
deist = like voltaire said god did create worlds and people, but after that she didn't care. we're on our own. definate belief and certainty.
agnostic = would not know whether god did really create world, will not and can not know. agnostic neither is sure whether we're on our own. undefined belief and uncertainty.
