Strangely enough, I'm actually posting a topic here for once

I've been thinking the last few days.

Now, let us presume to examine God (y'know which one...) on two tangents: Can He be all-good, and unknowable?

Now, first, if God is all-good, He is the embodiment of good. If we cannot know him, it is the same as saying man cannot know what is truely good.

If God would expect us to be good, and we cannot actually fully know what goodness is, then why would he demand that we not sin? It seems he would have given us an impossible task, in this case.

If God is all-good and man can know Him, then why do so many of His actions seem to be evil?

If God is knowable, and not all-good, why would any person who wishes to be moral follow his laws?

Final analysis: I still think it's all just a bunch of gobbledegook.

Anyone see where my reasoning is wrong?
