You can talk about and deal with things you don't understand.

I don't understnad how hurricanes are created, but I still deal with them when they come around. Similarly, I have no idea how bees make honey, but I enjoy it just the same.

If we spent less time trying to understand God and more time just enjoying what he/she/it has given us, I think we would be better off as a race.

But my basic concern isn't simply trying to understand God -- it's thinking that God somehow should accord with our ideas of justice, so that, for example, God should have to justify to us why he/she/it allows the thing that we call evil in the world. That's where this started, and I still find it absurd that humans think they can judge God.
