As David Eller notes in 'Natural Atheism," If you ask Theists to define God, they will either balk and say God is unknowalbe and ineffable or they will offer inconsistent and conflicting defiintions."...' The very word and idea is confused, and, therefore any further talk about god must be incoherent and invalid." He notes that the mysterious ways of God argument revels meaninglissness about God: If sometines He answers prayers and sometimes doesn't ,how can we know which is which?" That argiument for mystery really is a cop-out! We do not need be omniscient, for instance, to discern there are pointless evils,showing further that argument fails
Theology is a series of guesses about a mystery,surrounded by others,supposeedly to be Leibniz'a sufficient reason but only obscures!
