A. I believe it is impossible to "believe" in something if you have no evidence to base that belief on. "God" is impossible for us to understand, so I think it's incorrect to say we know the nature of the ruler of the universe.
I just think the best we can do is "hope" for a God. If your way of believing is to "hope" then I understand and agree 100%. I too hope for a loving God.
B. Yes, and I use the word "hope" to describe the things I suspect, but have no proof to base my suspicions on.
I'm only saying we should describe our belief in God as a "hope" rather than a "belief."
But if you truly "believe" that's fine. I'm not pointing any fingers. I could be wrong.
