Actually that si axactly what I am saying. How can you describe something you 
have not experienced? At best you can only describe its effect on others. I 
don't understand Atheism. I know that it is the belief in the absence of a 
god, intellectually, however I make no claim to understand it at an emotional 
level. I certainly want to know what is true, and yet i believe in God. 
Certainly a belief in God does not connote a lack of curiosity, although I 
can understand how, as somebody who did not believe in God, Neitzsche made 
that mistake. He could not possibly know ho wrong he was.
