As part of my recent effort to get a final answer on whether or not I can accurately describe myself as a deist, I sought out feedback from a couple of professional philosophers. One of them was Leland Harper, who currently teaches philosophy at Siena Heights University (although I understand that the school will be closing its doors soon). I reached out to him because I found a book of his called Multiverse Deism that was interesting, although I didn't find it to be very persuasive. Still, I was thrilled to find someone in the philosophical world who openly affirms deism. Professor Harper was gracious enough to answer some questions for me via email.
