Or are you the type that seeks to decipher Him the best way you can?
I noticed there are individuals who just surrender( e.g. " it's God's plan", "He alone knows what's best for us") and instead being challenged to seek answers.
Note: Either way, there's nothing wrong about it. Smile.

I'm happy to believe there is a God, John 17:3; Phillip.2:5.9-12; I am happy to seek his wisdom and let him have the say. 2Tim.2:14; John 12:47,48;

There are so many inconsistencies and obfuscations in the Bible, it is hard to know what God wants. You would think that if it were the inspired word of God, it would be crystal clear. And you would think that he would update it every hundred years or so to keep it current. And while he's at it, you would think that he would make an appearance every once in a while just to let us know he is still around. Maybe go on the Larry King Show or O'Reilly Factor.

I try my best to get the most I can, and to live happy, healthy, and comfortable without harming other people. However When things go wrong even though I have done everything I can, I just realise that God with his mercy and wisdom wanted something better for me. Never had I reacted this way and regreted it... EVER

Starred for figuring out how to ask that question without stacking the deck, although I think the question can be extended to a general life outlook and not just people's opinions on God.
To answer your question: I think, personally, it's important to make sure that either answers, or the means to seek answers, are there for the people that intend on seeking them. That's not just with regard to God(s), that's a general life philosophy. I don't think everyone should have to be an expert on everything (since they should be free to pursue their own interests), but I think anyone who does want to investigate anything on their own should be encouraged and helped with any resources left to spare, since they're primarily responsible for the answers we have to begin with.

It's only common sense that God would be logical and make good sense. We just don't have information which would completely change our viewpoint if we knew it. I finally have a religion for myself that always make perfect sense. God, by definition knows everything, including fairness, right, wrong, how to best teach, etc. If we just have the info. God always makes sense.
Blessed Be

I'm very happy to believe there is a God...and I'm content to believe we were created with wisdom.... the same wisdom that is within us and all around us.
I'm also a seeker....what if there's something I don't know yet? What if there is no God?
I'm comfortable to continue seeking and I'm comfortable with my own knowings at the same time.

Prefer to keep searching through the Word for more insight about the God I have chosen to serve ...
When I'm satisfied with the answer I've found ... then I go on to the next search ..

It would belittle our intelligence not to question ever the "wisdom" of his plan.
I will always remember a teacher that once told me that asking questions is not stupid, is not asking them that narrows our minds, and closes our views to so much more.

i am happy to give my who;e life to god, problems and all, because i know he will guide me and take care of me, he always has. but i do like to learn, an informed christian is very important, although we can't and don't know all of his plans for us, and all of his wonders , we are to seek and pray and ask for him to reveal things to us that are important for us to know, besides how are we to defend our faith, or help lead others to truth, if we don't look for and learn why we believe what we believe.
