Sig Waxes Theological. (Or: Tell Me All Your Thoughts on God)

It's not that I don't believe in a god, it's just that I don't believe in the God...meaning the Christian interpretation of the divine. Honestly, the more I study religion the more I think that humans have it all wrong. So far, I have yet to stumble upon a philisophical or religious system of thought that satisfactorily accounts for the workings of the universe, existence, the meaning of life, the problem of evil, etc. Still, the more I study religion the more I'm convinced that there's something out there... Who or what that something is, I cannot say. What this something does, I cannot say. Whether this something created the universeand/or humanity - or sustains it, or has the power to destroy it - I cannot say. Whether or not this something interacts with the created world, I cannot say. Whether or not that something is all good, all evil, or some combination thereof I cannot say.

In short, I don't get it. I think that there is something to get, however...something far outside of the bounds of my imagination. I think Anselm of Canterbury has come the closest to defining God/the divine: "God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived." Think about that for a minute...I expect you'll find that you can't come up with anything better.
