Spudboy,
I think if you read a little among Christian theologians you will find a
quite different take on the God question. BTW, that last sentence may
include a lot of Jewish theologians and others; it is just that Christians
are what I am familiar with.
Many people consider the old and new testament as the story of man's
attempt to come to grips with the question of God. Under that approach they
would all be properly labeled as "searchers" or some such.
Given the vastness of the universe I find many discussions of this
subject beginning with "I believe........." to be presumptive. In addition
given that no one has yet hauled God kicking and screaming into either a
laboratory or a courtroom to testify under oath then it appears that many
statements testifying to the exact nature of God to be equally presumptive.
A searcher.
