If God is unknowable, why would there be any assertions on God? For example:
"God is unknowable, but here are God's laws ____."
"God is unknowable, but here's God's love ____."
"God is unknowable, but here are God's morals/values and worldviews ____."
...
Or you think God is knowable? How/what? Using Bible to prove Bible?
Perhaps, being philosophical, the question should be how is anything knowable (including that there is no god). The other deal would be to enter theology for specifics. In the christian, the god is unknowable to separate that religion (among other things I guess) from what it termed "natural theology", where men could get to god from their own operations-mentally or through act (many christians now think they can do this now so I imagine the religion is in some backwards transition)-which would mean god was created by them. It covers the unknowing by its doctrine of revelation. God reveals himself-some think the bible, but it was primarily the birth of christ. It is kind of similar to wondering what is on the moon. One can come up with all sorts of ideas (Kepler thought he saw cities there), but the moon is unknowable until one has instruments that can clearly see it or one actually goes there. God would be the similar (of course there are deity concept characteristics that qualify it as different). I guess what it gets to is that god, unlike the moon (with technology and such to see it), is only knowable to whom he wants to be knowable to, and not at our disposal; the moon just sits there and waits. I don't know about Islam's god.
So stealing horses for those cultures that assume stealing horses from other tribes is good, is wrong or good? Well I guess if one assumes no right and wrong and assume good is relative to the social, then having a horse in this situation, in that tribe, is verifiably good by possession. I buy that.
