Wherever he is, I want to know how to tell the difference between him and nothing. If he's right here next to me, he may as well not be.
Not exactly weird IMO. After all we are just humans and our "knowledge" is limited by our subjective understanding and discernment. Believers are no different than anyone else so I'm never surprised to hear diverse thoughts on God. There are some very basic tenets of agreement, but when delving in to deeper, more complex details, it's impossible to know for sure. Some may still say with certainty they are right and attempt to back it up, but it's really conjecture.
That makes me curious. How do you agree on what is a "basic tenet" and what is conjecture? Because Christians have disagreed over..just about every point of doctrine (including whether or not Jesus was all human or all god or both), all the time claiming they had the truth. You have to understand that from our point of view, everything that you claim is conjecture.
