Living Branches on Dead Roots

A student of mine recently wrote in a paper: "The rejection of miracles is the cornerstone of Deism. Not coincidentally, miracles are the cornerstone of Christianity, considering that the miracle of the resurrection is what sets Christianity apart from all other religions."

Thus Deism's effort to redefine Christianity as a religion of mere morals is a gutting of the Faith. No wonder every mainline Christian denomination is dying. They are dying simply because they try to reduce Christianity to the moral code it has in common with all other religions.  You can't put a living branch on a dead root and expect life.
