Nothing wrong with wondering. Everything wrong (IMO) with condemning or
denying God because your wondering doesn't bear the fruit you want it
to.


Personally, I don't think I know enough to condemn or deny God, though I do question ideas about God and find some such ideas lacking and am unsure about others. I don't think there is anything wrong in doing so, in fact, I think that everyone that thinks about God does so to some extent.

I'm sure there are ideas about God that some people on this earth have which you don't share. Since that is so, wouldn't you say you've thought about some of those differing ideas and rejected them? In the minds of people who believe differently about God than you do, aren't you likely condemning and denying some important (to them) aspect of God?

Myself aside, in general, why do you think it would be wrong for someone to come to the "wrong" conclusion about God? And what in particular is it wrong IYO to disbelieve about God - God's existence, goodness, power, or what? Do you think that people have a moral duty to believe the right things or at least to not believe the wrong things? If some ideas about God are beyond the pale, how, given the wide variety of beliefs about God, are people supposed to know the correct and incorrect ones?

Running out of time and gotta go,
