A Christian sage was approached by an agnostic seeker who had traveled a long distance to ask him two questions. The agnostic said, "Sir, I have asked two questions to many so-called wise men and women of faith. Their answers have never been such to aid me to any certainty. I remain agnostic, but I do want to have faith." The sage asked, "What are your two questions?" "Who is God?" The sage said, "I really don't know. I once thought I did." "Do you know God?" Said the sage, "No, I don't think so. Do you?" The agnostic smiled joyfully, and asked, "May I ask you a final question?" "Yes." "How soon may I be baptized?"
