Alex, I agree that man can not presume to know the intentions of God. But faith often stipulates this intention in its divine litrature.

And why does man need to relate to God? Are we going to provide some comfort or empathy to God? This again is a human rationalisation there is not need to relate. Like you example states it is not possible and more over like your exampl shows its not necessary. Why shoul a shoe relate to a man it simply must to as is intened for it. Serve its purpose. A Star is born and it dies, it serves its purpose like all nature. Man however has freewill to chose not to follow any purpose or set his own purpose.
SirDystic, thanks you have given me something to look into. What was done a while back by religious leaders to surpres ideas is still done in the modern world for profit. And it begs the question that perhaps it is selfishness/greed that drives man to supress other men from exploring. And these are often atributed to religion or God, when they do not say this. Indeed in life we alwasy percive faith as how others practice it, rahter than actually study that faith for ourselves. Pehaps this is a seprate topic beyond this forum, but thank you for giving me something to think about.
Regards
