***What negative theology? You mean apophatic? Are you sure you understand what that means?***

LOL

I don’t know?!

Well, that's pretty much the first step in apophatic theology, I believe. So you've made a good start.

And I don't know about you, but when I don't know, which is all the time, I take comfort in my confidence that I am known.

I don't know anybody important -- not to where you'd say "know", but somebody REALLY important knows me.

I thought you had no clue. But you didn’t answer my other questrion: what is supposedly “negative” about our theology?
