Can I borrow a cup of cerebellum?
You know lots of people say "you can't know the mind of god"
They seem to slap this down on the table as "end of discussion"
While that statement is true, I think there is a wealth of
information that can be gleaned from what
god does and does not do. We can derive much information by the
powers god must certainly have
in order to be a god. To deliberately overlook these vast areas of
research with "you can't know the mind of god"
seems intellectually dishonest to me.
Faith seems to me to be a shutting down process of inquiry. The
faithful call it "surrender"
That is one way to go, I suppose, are the faithful saying the
intellect must be surrendered for god?
The tough questions no longer get asked? And if the answers don't
come? God gets the benefit of doubt.
I don't find that very satisfying myself. Sure, there is plenty of
feel-good to cling to for the faithful, but I have a strange way of
looking at a belief:
If I cannot defend my belief or idea, from every angle of attack, I
don't think it is a belief worth having.
That is where I am coming from. Your mileage may vary, does not
include tax and license, and may cause side effects.
