Deists?

Deists believe in God but they don't believe he does anything. they believe He created the universe but they don't believe He affects His creation. This allows them to believe in a creator without  believing in accountability.

When it comes to the question of the origins, no one can come up with a good answer on their own. evolution was the only non-inteligent design theory for a long time. It just didn't pan out for a lot of people. Entropy, the science backed belief that nothing ever actually improves, kind of puts a damper on the idea that we evolved from a single celled organism. So, man came up with a way to answer the question of the origins without having to answer to the creator.

Sometimes people take long walks in the woods or through some meadow to commune with nature and find their inner peace. They sit down and let the breeze gently caress their faces. They let go of their problems and their insecurities. They slow down long enough to forget that life isn't going the way they wanted. They leave refreshed and sixty seconds after they re-enter reality, the inner turmoil comes rushing back. They can't figure out why...

You can commune with nature all you want, but if you're not communing with God, you're just laying in the grass.

People go to art galleries and look at the paintings. Each painting has a little card underneath. This card has the title of the painting, the name of the artist and a little snippit about what the artist was feeling at the time. The work of art, beautiful or not, has only a limited amount of emotional value to the patron without a certain amount of context to bring it in to perspective.

Gods creation only means so much without a relationship with Him. If little miss commune with nature had a relationship with her creator, that inner peace would have lasted a little longer.

As christians, our relationship with God allows us to appreciate the creation as a reminder of our creator. God made this world as beautiful as it is to remind us that only He is capable of such creation. Only He is worthy of holding us accountable.
