You can only attempt to know his characteristics and in that your journey will be infinite. God simply (Is) He is the unknowable; to pursue this is vanity. Relax your just another Homer like everybody else. Dohh!
Wh is God has he ever been known by some one in this world or is he just a figure of imagination. 😕

The only question we should ask is...
Who created God?
I had an amusing conversation with a Muslim who said Allah was the one true God. I asked who created Allah. He told me a story - you are walking in the desert, miles and miles from nowhere, and you find a watch. How did the watch get there?
I said, someone must have put the watch there, it couldn't get there by itself. He said, YES, Allah put it there.
I said Allah is the watch. Who put him there?
The conversation ended with a threat of suicide bombings lol

If god cares so much about souls, then why didn't he just create souls in heaven? Why did he go to all the trouble of creating fallible humans to put those souls into, so that they could "sin" and need salvation when they die, so their souls can go to heaven? That seems like a great amount of wasted labor.
