I've not debated many atheists or theists willing to accept that god (or existence) is an unknowable thing. Agnostics simply accept they dont know, and ignostics consider the question to be an unprovable argument and that not only do they not know, they never can truly know either's meaning.
Something being completely unknowable and something being partially knowable are two different things. God is revealed through relationship. Existence is sustained by God. To have no relationship to God is to be alienated from both God and ones own existence. When that separation is bridged God is known in part as the ultimate goodness that holds all of existence together.
Presuming god does exist (which is easiest for me as i do believe in him), he most likely exists outside our dimensions or our universe altogether. Otherwise, you would have a paradox of a creator creating himself via creating the universe. As we cannot perceive that which is outside our universe, we cannot truly know what god is.
To some, god is a being like man but perfect. To Dante, he described him as perfect geometric circles, if i correvtly remember my Paradiso. To presume to be able to describe him in any way is nigh on impossible for me. I have faith he spoke the universe into being with his Word, and that He exists, but what spoke the Word, i would never strive to define that being, let alone prove such a being exists or not.
