In an earlier post I talked about doubting God. I am not discussing doubting the empirical existence of God. That can not be proved. Sure there is infinite circumstantial evidence that points to his existence, and it is that that leads me to interpret this life through a lens as if there is a God. But let us not kid ourselves, God cannot be measured even if He appears to be self evident.
I don't doubt the existence of God, only my perception of him.
Ever heard someone say?, "Don't put God in a box."
"God in a box" references our perception of God. However, I fear that when people say that what they really mean is "Don't put God in your box. He actually works better as my perception of God." Doubting God isn't about doubting his existence, but rather doubting who we think God is and how he works.
Don't get me wrong I think it is OK to have our beliefs in God. I just think we shouldn't hold to tightly to those beliefs because we risk missing out on all God can be. I certainly have my beliefs but I choose not to hold them in certainty.
Your perception of who God is and how he works is merely a distraction from allowing God to be all that he can be through your life here on Earth. If God cannot be measured why do we try. We do not need to know how or why God is to be a part of who God is.
When we define God we risk loosing all that God is capable of being. Doubting God is about learning to exist within God rather than forcing God to exist within us.
