That's fine - I have no need for "truth" that can't be expressed. And I don't expect anyone to prove god, because people have been barking under that tree for millennia and they have nothing to show for it, except for a few myths and some platitudes - all of them useless, when it comes to obtaining actual demonstrable knowledge. You know - knowledge, that has practical, observable, testable, repeatable results. That's what I'm interested in.
And besides the way religion is organized looks suspiciously like a giant scam. Any god that would decide to reveal his will through whispering sweet nothings into the ears of selected few once every few hundred years - would be an idiot and not a god worth worshiping.
