Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen"

I began my life obsessed by the subject of God and immersed in the research of all the diverse religions. Mine has been a long, too long route to Damascus. And a deep Night of the Soul.
Finally the existence of God began bringing me more restlessness than Its possible absence.
Because, ¿What kind of God could have created such a thing? What could be the Nature of THAT?

The presumption of the religious men, who pretend to be the authorized spokesmen of God’s Word, seems to me absolutely abominable. There isn’t a greater Blasphemy than pretending to know what God is, wht God looks for o what God wants. And it is the upmost Blasphemy, because it means sheer Nonsense.

Some days ago a couple whose little daughter got restore from a usually fatal illness, was praising God “for having realized the miracle” of saving the child’s life”.
That most natural attitude in the majority of people, brought me instead a sensation of unbearable horror. Because, What happen then with the thousand children that died on that same day? Which was God’s will in these cases? Did God spare this little girl's life and abandoned the rest?

In a situation like this - that most certainly presents itself daily in thousands of different forms with people as fervent believers as those were- to believe in a god that exists in a participative way in the destiny of men produces in me an indescribable uneasiness.

That is why I consider Wittgenstein one of the great religious philosophers, and I have used as a title his last phrase in the Tractatus:

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

Religious philosopher I have said, because there isn’t a more certain and deep religion than Silence, which is the only that does justice to THAT about nothing can be "think of", or "say about". The immensurable pile of words that men have spent through the centuries to speak about that about nothing can be say, gives us a clear notion of the tremendous ignorance in which mankind drowns itself today and always.

Could someone call my position "agnosticism"?
May be.
For me it is simple reason and plain common sense.
