I don't hate deism, but your words summarise what I dislike about it:

"I can pick and choose what I believe based solely off MY beliefs, rather than following those of a rabbi or priest or muslim leader thing... Reincarnation, for example. I believe in that, as well, solely because I deny the possibility to not exist."

Thus, your "beliefs" are based on what is comforting, not what is true or correct. Yes, this is the same for pretty much every religion out there, but as organised religions with set doctrines, they're less likely to admit it. So I feel much the same about deists as I do about theists - you're all just after the warm fuzzies, it's just that the deists are the only ones 'fessing up to wanting it.

Dear You,
You can make it through this. The clouds will not last forever.
From Me.
