If we cannot comprehend something then we cannot know of its existence. If we construct something that we can comprehend, like all known concepts of god, then by simple virtue of its nature it cannot be a true representation of that which we seek to describe. It is a logical if not a mathematical impossibility. To spend much time contemplating things (our placing our hopes in them) that might exist outside of our ability to comprehend might be an amusing exercise but certainly no real actionable data can be extracted from it and I don't see that it helps me personally cope with the reality I have to deal with day to day.
