Philosophy Toolkit: Theism Vs. Desim

When I looked down the list in the Philosophy Toolkit the paragraph on Theism and Deism caught my attention since I considered myself to a Deist.  To me, the Universe appears to work a little too perfectly to have been built just by random chance.  But while any other theist might say that, I can't see how an omnipresent God who intervenes in our daily lives but lets thousands of pious individuals suffer and die everyday of hunger, disease, and so many other ill fates.  So instead I believe that God is some enlightened being who created the Universe and let it run its course and we are just by-products.
