Never let Christians trick you into talking about philosophical arguments for an abstract deistic god. This is just an act of subterfuge on their part to try to get you arguing about something that is totally unrelated to the Christianity discussion. It's like telling a person that their car is falling apart, tyres wobbling, exhaust spluttering, engine on fire, before they turn around at you and say, "Well it still drives doesn't it?"

The reasons atheists reject Christianity have nothing to do with rejecting a deistic creator. Christians only take to this front because they know that is where they are the strongest, similar to the guy with the faulty car.
Instead, we reject it for these reasons:
>1. The Bible claims that people lived up to 600 years
>2. The Bible claims that there was a worldwide flood in the times of Noah
>3. The Bible contradicts evolutionary theory
>4. The biblical lineage puts the Earth at around 6000 years old.
>5. The Bible contradicts itself in multiple places
>6. The Bible holds to a geocentric model of the universe
>7. The Bible asserts that genocide is morally permissible
>8. The Bible asserts that slavery is morally permissible
>9. The Bible claims that the Exodus happened
>10. The Bible claims that a donkey talked
>11. The Bible's morals are what you would expect to find among a bronze age society
>12. The Bible makes multiple historical blunders

These are all off the top of my head; there are a lot more. Christians have to defend the Bible, not deism.
