Christians know something about a being which is outside the realm of perception and may or may not exist based on assumptions made by doctrinal assertions. God's an infinite being, but as a Christian, you know his necessary intentions and attributes from a book written by relatively uneducated people in the most superstitious part of the world in a time when the Earth was believed to be flat.
Makes perfect sense.
Celestial fairies are beyond my feeble comprehension, but I have this book that tells me all about them.
