No, it's not that.
It's something beyond your understanding.
Stay innocent.

- INNOCENCE, n. The state or condition of a criminal whose counsel has fixed the jury.
"My client, gentlemen," the lawyer cried,
"Is innocent as any babe unborn—
As spotless as the snows upon the side
Of giant Blanc or skyward Matterhorn.
"What! he steal hogs—this honorable youth?
A thought so monstrous makes the angels weep!
When that vile felony was wrought, in truth,
My client was in jail for stealing sheep."

The easiest fact I want to know if God has a birth certificate and an I.D. we can all see. I am sure the churches have the information hidden in case someone gets smart enough to ask.
