An Agnostic was Once as Atheist
"The only thing I know about God is that God is inscrutable. In other
words, I don’t know a single thing about God. I’m clueless about what
God is. Maybe Jesus, or the other historical figures around which
religions had been built, would be more approachable. But God itself,
being on a divine level, I think it’s just impermeable to human
intelligence. And there is a very famous classical book called The Cloud of Unknowing.
There’s always a cloud of unknowing over God. I think that, since God
is inaccessible to people, we tend to portray Him in anthropomorphic
terms. We think of the best qualities in every person and you try and
project it on a giant scale on God. So in effect, God is a man-made
concept. We have no clue what God is."
"I do not understand why God can be all love and still inflict this
kind of pain on people. This God is an underachiever. He does not do
whatever he is supposed to be doing, whatever his sex is. Whether he's
an it or a she or a he or whatever. But I'm sure that if you were a god
or if I were the God, I would be doing a better job. Therefore, the only
conclusion can be that possibly, God does not exist.'" ---Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago
