1) At least have the decency to name your boy "Sue"
The God of the deist is probably best described in the "Fight Club" scene where the comment is made that, "We are a generation of men raised by women, and God is like our fathers, he's just not there." (paraphrase). It is not that God doesn't exist, only that after He created you, he abandoned you to fend for yourself. I'm not sure why deists would even thank such a God.
2) Masking sin by huffing and puffing.
Again, in "Gone Baby Gone" there is an interesting phenomena with regards to caring for children. Beware of those who seek to defend children too much. No this is not a plot revealer and how can someone defend a child too much? Let's make some observations concerning the culture's sentiments towards those who harm children. Generally, any such discussion will quickly raise eyebrows, bulge forehead veins, and have folks run for the torches and pitchforks when they hear of a scenario where a child is abused, whether it be by means of verbal assault, physical battery, or sexual immorality. Just listing these things is repulsive. People rightfully are disgusted with such sin. But then why is it that thongs are marketed to tweens (10-12 year olds)? Why is it that the government is more concerned with an adult wearing a seatbelt, than with figuring out how to eradicate pornography, human trafficing, or simply bikini wax salons that specialize in Brazilians in order to create the childlike look? Not that I'm promoting the government getting their hands into more of its citizens' private lives, I only find it interesting where they choose to flex the strong arm of the law. Back to the point of this, beware when someone has to constantly say, "to tell you the truth...", for they are probably liars.

I'd comment on the goodness of your thoughts, but its too late, I have finals tomorrow, and I have to make the goodness of my own (for the finals).
Not to mention the murder of over 48 million babies in the past 25 years. And why is it that those who claim to be so pro-child are so disinclined to have a passel of their own? They make me realize why busybody is listed with murderer, thief and evildoer in 1 Peter 4:15.
