Is God beyond question? The fact of the matter is that Athiesm is just another religion... The worship of Science, of our own knowledge. So certain are we that we know things...
Do we know things? Our nature demands that we have proof of things by empirical evidence. We have to have been able to experience the same results repeatedly. Does that prove anything? The answer is no. Not really. What it all boils down to is the simple fact that even our own perceptions HAVE to be brought into question. When I see Blue do you see blue? Who knows? We may both call it the same thing, but see it completly differently. There are tribes in africa who can see a whole OTHER colour. By that I mean, when your usual European/ Amerikan see's the colour, he merely see's a "Kinda Green" but in tests, the tribes can differentiate EACH and EVERY time. What does that tell us? Perhaps it suggests that perception is subjective, we see what we are taught to see.
All perception has to be brought into question. We've never experienced ANYTHING without our sense's, so what if our senses lie to us? Is there an ABSOLUTE reality? In which things are THIS WAY, or is it all subjective? Buddhists hold that ALL reality is an illusion, that our every experience doesn't really exist, we just "Fooled" ourselves into believing it was real.
Most faiths put forth the idea of a God, An absolute being. For there to be an ABSOLUTE reality, seperate from our existence, There has to be something that observes that reality, otherwise the absolute and subjective would mean the same thing.
Our knowledge is false, Flawed by our perception. But it DOES work, And if it does work, then why question it? The fact of the matter is, Our perceptions are what we are, and it is pointless to try and escape our experience.
