Christianity. Some arguments for theism would work equally well when applied to deism or Christianity, but other convincing arguments for theism work best when you're talking about a personal God who is active in the world. Then there are arguments from the Bible, the resurrection, and personal experience that all support Christianity over deism. Besides all that, I just feel like if a God created us, he did so for a purpose and would be involved or want himself to be known in some way.

Both are subsets of Theism in a categorical sense. Deism and Christianity share a great deal of common ground. Christianity goes beyond the scope of Deism and is logical. The question is are the assumptions of Christianity Valid. Insofar as the foundation of Christianity is the person, deity and resurrection of Christ and I believe that to be true, then Christianity is logical.

The #1 argument against Deism for me is that God got personal at one time, so why would He no longer be so?
If God created, then He obviously invested a lot of Himself in designing a universe like our and fine-tuning it for us, life and so forth. So why would He walk away and let it go?
Doesn't make sense to me. And as Judge Judy says: "If it doesn't make sense, then its not true."

Maybe he created us as rats to experiment on. Or maybe he created as his dying wish. Or maybe something we can't understand. Millions of possibilities.

Possibilities, but not plausibilities given the magnitude and complete context of what has been created.
