@Catholic Lady,
You, "I don't claim to totally know the mind of God."
It does not matter to us if you are claiming all or part. This is sidestepping and looking for an excuse to hold your position.
I apply the SAME LOGIC to any god claim of any religion, not just yours.
Before you even get to the first word of any holy writing you have to prove the existence of a god first.
You don't realize that you are working backwards logically speaking. You started with an assumption that a god is even required.
This is not evidence on your part, this is merely YOU making an emotional justification for what you merely like to believe is true.
You've never seen him in person, you have no physical record of his existence. Just like you have never seen Vishnu or Apollo in person. Sure there are tons of claims from Hindus, and Jews and Muslims and polytheists too.
You ask people of other religions some will say they absolutely know, and others say "I don't know, but I have some ideas".
How about considering humans make up all religions and all god claims?
What would be so frightening if you suddenly figured out we were right and there is no divine power pulling our strings? Do you think you would suddenly burst into flames? Some of your fellow Christians and even right wing Catholics would say you merely being here considering our posts is evil and deserving of punishment.
I know what happened to me when I finally realized this was it, nothing happened to me. I switched to my off position back in the mid 1990s. It is 2017 and I am still kicking. You can do it too, don't let fear hold you back, there is nothing to fear.
