So, do you put the god of the bible on the same level as the Invisible Pink Unicorn on Pluto?
Who knows! You can't rule them out now can you!
Well at least the god of the Bible, real or not, has affected the beliefs and actions of people far more than the Pink Unicorn. Interestingly, the Gnostics (not all but many) thought the God of the bible was one messed up god - jealous and angry. The sought to know his father.
"I don't know" is my core creed. I call it suspending judgment. Meaning that I suspended judgement on the God issue pending concrete evidence one way or the other. Right now I focus on reality, and helping others.

zarco,
I agree. It looks like God is shy.
Thanks, AllTimeJeff. "I don't need to know or have all the answers. I am at peace with what I don't know, as well with what I do know."
I hope to know what I don't know, or at least to get a reasonable approximation...... At times the amount of things I do not know is so voluminous that what I do know I know pales in comparison.
The trouble with self-appointed "truth" seekers is this: Once they convince themselves that they have found the "truth", they stop searching. They construct a solid wall around the "truth" so that nothing can reach it; for them the search is over. Over time, they become as disinterested in continuing to search for the "truth' as those they had earlier criticised for being so closed-minded.
Yesterday's yearning searchers of "truth" have become today's dogmatists.
The most unhealthy thing to have given up since leaving the JWs is the (obssessive) need to declare: "I have found the truth!"
