‘Does God Exist?’, the indispensable question of every Thinking Man and Woman.
The question is premature and presumptuous. The proper question, prior, proximate, more modest in its reach is: ‘Does Man exist?’
The Lady doesn’t need you to verify Her presence, thank you very much. She merely asks that you first confirm yours.
The launch to ‘God’ begins at the Limit of Man. Any ‘God’ [or ‘Reality’ or ‘Truth’] you find prior to reaching the limit is not an act of sober piety but one of vacuous ignorance. A deity in the image of Man. Spiritual candy.
St. Augustine [354-430 CE] arguably the most influential of Christian Theologians warned: ‘Si Comprehendus, Non Est Deus’: If you have understood ‘God’, what you have understood, by that very fact, is not ‘God’ [Sermon 117].
A displayed humility is greater hubris. The grander your tag the greater your pretense. Pick any theological text of any religion and be awed at the sweep of reckless excess.
You always and only seek to first verify the presence or absence of ‘Man’. You always and only orient to mortification, never the other way around [‘God’ or ‘Ultimate Reality’ and such].
There is a problem though, a big one. Any search for ‘Man’ by man is an act coiled in the Self-Loop. You’ll get whatever answer your wishing for.
