I've already told you, you don't get to determine the course or rules of the discourse.
Let's see what happens if it becomes necessary for you to think about something.
If the danger of not talking enough about God is that one might enter the realms of atheism, what might be the danger of talking too much about God?
Hint - in Judaism it might lead to something very, very, very naughty ("You shall not make for yourself a sculptured thing . . . .")
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
Xenophanes
