Re: Do you believe in God?

I believe in the existence of the concept of god but not that it is necessarily a true one, many people forget that when considering a source you be the question "From whence did the source come, and from whence that?" It is an infinite line of questioning to ask the cause of a physical act, without specifiyng a point you never get a path to your answer. Further, if the nature of god is not physical or able to be put in terms that humans can understand(which is the only condition under which a creator can be useful, as if he held no answers that man could not of what use could he be but a hopeful hypothetical?) then what use is he to us anyway? We are persuaded to agnisticism in light of the few answers which god if he exists may hold, but we have no basis for action in his name for we cannot know his will for if we could we would be able to ourselfs will it and it would be human will not devine will! Do you see the problem? There can be no basis for knowledge nor action found in a god so it is really just a feeling of hope based in an unkowable abstraction!
