"What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite."-- Bertrand Russell, Skeptical Essays (1928)

Is that what you desire as well? A will to find out? Sincerely? There is a dilemma then, because when one finds out that what is required is faith - as in without it God says it is impossible to please him - then where are you? At some point we all must come to terms with the unknown or the unknowable and decide if what CAN be known is enough. As for dear Bertrand, the mystery is now solved but had he continued in his unbelief - because I can't know his heart - he was too late to respond correctly and for all eternity he will know unending regret and despair. It is NOT too late for you.

Sorry, but what you said makes no sense at all. Are you trying to say that we have to live with uncertainty? That is very true, but it is very different from not knowing.
