"For if we may conclude that God hath done for men all that men shall judge is best for them, because it is suitable to his goodness so to do, it will prove not only that God has imprinted on the minds of men an idea of himself, but that he hath plainly stamped there, in fair characters, all that men ought to know or believe of him, all that they ought to do in obedience to his will; and that he hath given them a will and affections conformable to it"
In this section Locke discusses that everyone has an idea of God that is naturally imprinted by God himself. I do not agree with Locke on this and I am also confused by this because Locke believes that the idea of God is not innate but then how does God imprint himself on us. I think that we learn about God through others and I do believe God is not innate because of this. But I do not think that God imprinte dhimself on us. That just doesn't make sense to me.
