Unknowable

 You have God issues?  You don’t understand, or you don’t believe in a God?  But you would like something/someone to help you? Well, why not just call this God “The Unknowable.”  It fits a lot of people and a monk, Thomas Keating, wrote about such a God.  And Keating was a believer.  The problem with traditional concepts of God is that these concepts seem to imply an understanding of their God.  This is ignorance posing as knowledge.  It is comforting so I don’t mess with it.  But really, God is beyond anything or anyone that we could imagine or think up.  But unknowable does not mean non-existent.  It does mean you are humble enough to believe in what is beyond your limited capacities.  This to me is faith.
