I have a problem with this magnificent question:
If you do NOT believe in God, what did you learn God "would be". I think you say I do not believe in 'the' God I heard my parents believed in (or something like that). Or did you read something about 'God' and then you said immediately: "Oh, I cannot believe in this kind of God".
Suppose I ask you: do you believe your parents love you. You cannot proof anything about 'love', or worse: you see later on they begin to hate you. Would you then say: "I do not believe in love"?
Einstein had the same problem. In his last years, he changed from
"I believe in God" to another sentence:
"I do NOT believe in a personal God."
Very weird for me and I felt a big problem: Einstein tells indirectedly that he believes by telling what he does not believe in. And that's the same way he constructed during his life his "absolute relativity principle" (and his "general relativity principle", but the last one is too difficult for me to really understand too, so I do NOT believe in non-relativity).
Can you slowly think about this topic.
Me neither, i do NOT believe in a personal God. Very often, i do even not know what i believe in, but that is the essence (essere = to be, cogito ergo sum, non cogito ergo non sum).
PS: i really try to believe you when you say you do not believe in God, but i cannot comprise what you mean then with 'God' (who learned you that word, were it foolish perhaps young people?)
1. If i step backwards, i am preparing to jump.
2. If you will not do it, i will.
3. I have never met a person who does not believe (in some...thing)
