@ Welsh Cake: As I said before, belief is a prerequisite to understanding. I believe in God and make claims about His nature because I believe in Him, and have had time to grow in my understanding of Him. Your denial of Him does not allow you to understand Him.
You say that it is troubling that he is unknowable, and I am going to state right here and right now that I do not believe anything is 'knowable.' You may believe in something because you experienced it, but you do not know that what you experienced was real or even if it occured as you recall. For this, you require beleif.
@ Paul: I don't mean to come off as a jerk, but once again you show that you do not understand the concept of God, and you do not understand why I, or anyone else, believe what we believe. If you understand the concept of God, then explain it to me. If you understand what I said, then explain it to me in your terms. You say it sounds like I am trying to justify my beliefs, but yo ushow no supprot for this at all. Demonstrate to me where it sounds like this.
