It's not a knowing issue, it is a belief issue.  How do you believe in something you don't believe in? Especially when I read the Bible and it makes me believe less and doubt more?  It's like that with all the religions.

That's why I think if there is a God(s), no religion that I am aware of has gotten it right, but perhaps they all have some truth to each.  If there is a God(s), the god I think could have created the universe is much better the God I read about in any book.

This is a honest response and one that I respect. As a believer, I too have moments of doubt, but my answer is exactly opposite of yours: "How can you not believe in something you believe in".

I have always said/believed "As long as you believe, you are not going to be damned because you believed in the wrong Supreme Being". God is infinite.

I have also said the finite mind will never be able to rationalize the existence of God.  

Do not let religion or pride cloud your relationship with God.  I know you like to poke fun of the story about the lady that said she diverted the Tornadoes and you asked me do I believe she diverted the Tornadoes. my answer was: It does matter if I believe she did, it matters that she believes she did.
