The mind boggles at infinity and paradox, because it cannot resolve them or represent them symbolically. God, an existent thing which was never created, the start of all which exists but was never made to exist, is such a paradox, and ALSO boggles the mind.

Even if God is real, if you are comfortable with the God idea, it is not because God is understandable, but because your idea of God is not representative of the truth. Therefore, whatever you are arguing for, and believe in, is a false God.
