Your point is that nothing can be known of god? God is unknowable, if there is one, but there is no way to even know if there is one, or if we know anything or not. Is your point about knowledge and how we know things? Or do you think anything can be "known" at all? What would it matter to you if you could or did know?
Addendum: If this sounds argumentative, it is not. I hope to stay completely disinterested in arguments and arguing. If I do not manage it, remind me please, because I have more fun ways of wasting my time. Thanks.

"What do we know at all about God?"
What do we know at all about ourselves?
The problem isn't God and the problem isn't ourselves. The problem is the conflict between the two. This conflict won't be resolved until we begin to understand both. The belief in the existence of self and non-existence of God is just as imbalanced as the belief in the existence of God and the non-existence of the self.
