I love you to bits, hodlbod, and your arguments are well constructed … but I’m not buying it.
I don’t know god. Can’t imagine anyone does. My god might as well be the same “unknowable” that anybody else imagines to know. Even while “knowing him” is prolly the most wonderful thing that any one of us can do, doesn’t make knowing absolute.
I’d even go so far as to say that the unknowableness is exactly what makes god so … godly. And I honestly don’t see a problem with this … or with the practice (or even one’s certainty) of knowing him. It’s all wonderful.
You are wonderful in your certainty, but that doesn’t make you right … like absolutely right.
I don’t think I’m being postmodern, but I may just be wrong. God is real, and available for us all. That’s enough for me. 💜
