Your are inquisitive, knowledgeable and look for truth

Much obliged. But you must understand I am inquisitive because I am NOT knowledgeable. I am hoping others will enlighten ME because I pretty much know that I don't know anything.

When I tested my own 'knowledge' of what I though I knew, including God, I could not say how I knew them to be true or even what they are.

How's it go? "There are only fools who think they are wise and wise men who know they are fools."

Are you familiar with "The Cloud of Unknowing" Something you said earlier reminded me of it.

You said "We just exist. That's about all we know." The Cloud of Unknowing says something along the lines of that's all we need to know.

I can only hope so.
