DO you believe there is a GOD and why?

"Bob May , you are just so certain about some things."




Yes, I am. That is true. But there are many more things that I am uncertain and even unaware of.




"You should drop that and invite mystery and not-knowing."




Drop the few things I'm certain of? Not on your life. It took many years and effort to become certain of some things.


The Mysteries never end and never will. There is no need to invite them, just look into them and seek them.


"Inviting not-knowing" sounds like your own invention or misinterpretation of Don Juan's teachings. I really don't know what you mean by
that but it sounds too much like altzheimer's for me to be interested. I think I'll pass on that one but thanks anyway.




"Along Christian thought , try what I'm doing now , read Nikos Kazantzakis' "The Last Temptation of Christ " . I intend to post
excerpts on this forum as soon as I can. It's about possibilities , and the madness of ancient Romans and Hebrews. The author is a Greek
'Hemmingway' who returned to the faith , also , the author of 'Zorba the Greek' ."




I'll read your excerps and see if it looks worth a read.






"Please , let's not mold God in cement."




I would not think of it. What I am certain of is that He exists. If I said that I was not certain of this I would be a liar.


If it bothers you that someone can be certain of such a thing, then maybe you have a mystery that needs looking into.
