What's the problem with Deism?

We aren't creatures of purpose. We don't need meaning. We just need things to hold our attention, be curious about, entertain us, and give us pleasures both of the body and mind. Deism was a way to have god without all the mumbo jumbo trappings. Some human beings just have trouble shedding the need to believe in some higher power that created us. Believing in a religion does not automatically give life purpose. Beliefs can be on the back burner for most people most of the time.

Only things that are created by intelligent design have a purpose.
 
"God created married siblings, but they ate fruit that cursed them.
Then he had to impregnate a virgin to father himself so he could sacrifice himself to himself to atone for the curse from his first children."
