Why not indeed!  One of the things I find most annoying about religion is
each faith's insistence: (a) that G/god is ultimately unknowable, and (b)
that it, as a particular faith, knows perfectly well what G/god is and what
G/god wants.  So much avoidable agony has resulted throughout history
because of these preposterous claims to certain knowledge of a subject that
is, by definition, beyond understanding.
