any thoughts on this quote?

“Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not God Himself”

Miguel de Unamuno

For me, it is saying that anyone who believes anything without questioning their beliefs, doesn’t really believe at all.

Yes, if you are truly searching out and seeking God, you will at times be anguished, there will be uncertainty, there will be doubt, and your heart will be filled with a Passion. LOVE. because Believing in God is based on FAITH. And it is a struggle for all to put aside logic and go only an faith.

Unamuno was a great poet. He says that God gave us brains and expects us to use them, that we are not puppets whose strings he pulls. Our doubts and our despair are part of our nature.

…and?

Do you think God wouldn’t think that’s enough? Be good, don’t be bad. If there is a hell, you won’t be there. Pretty simple enough concept. Works for me, and I think that quote kind of describes me.
