Anyone answering this must be VERY, VERY CAREFUL! Some great Ulama have said that speaking about God's nature, without knowledge, is a sin worse than shirk. So PLEASE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE GOING TO ANSWER THIS! I WOULD SUGGEST LEAVING IT ALONE ALTOGETHER! In fact I've probably done a bad thing in bumping it up...

I disagree. It's a perfectly legitimate question by a rational human being. This whole "don't you dare even speak about it" attitude presupposes that the person believes in God to begin with. It doesn't scare someone who doesn't believe in God, but it will give off the impression that it's just a cop-out response.
