No, what I am saying is that if God exists, his nature may as well be knowable, and a dogma saying otherwise is just that. It’s not based on anything.

As for whether the existence of God is knowable: first of all, define knowledge. If you are using the word in some absolute sense, maybe its not knowable, but then nothing much is except for cogito ergo sum.

I see nothing problematic with knowing that God exists. True, we don’t have credible evidence for it, but theoretically, in another possible world there might be actual evidence for his existence.

As for whether the non-existence is knowable under the non-absolutist definition, I have already asked above: do we know that underpants gnomes, werewolves and devil possessions do not exist? If we can answer yes to that question, what makes God different?
