Professional religious leaders, like many other leaders, often feel obliged to pretend to have a quick answer to all questions. This expectation is wrong; complying to it fosters doubt rather than faith. Refusing to answer for one year - or "as long as it takes" - is a wise decision. You may find new answers, more modest but going deeper into the true nature of humankind and religion.

In other words: the problem is not God, but theology and dogma.
