"I would categorize most of these as agnostics if they really sat down and discussed it"

Right or wrong, it bears little on the question...

"There is no need to examine, critique, etc. If god is omnipresent, omniscient, etc etc as all the mystics from all the major religions describe"

Why would you assert such a silly statement? Even if a religion does assert such nonsense...why should I even give it a wink?

"then how could the fish describe the water?? He doesn't know 'air'... he can't compare"

It does not need to know air to describe water. There could be air, fair, wair, nair, and tare. You do not need to know the unknown to describe the known.

So humankind describes reality with integrity knowing it is imperfectly comprehended.
