God and Innateness
Continuing along the lines of Locke's discussion about God being the closest to being innate. I feel that this is still very unclear because if it were innate there would not be a need for so much discussion about whether or not there is such a thing as God, and also people would not be fighting over beliefs to this very day. If God was such a solidified innate idea many would just know what to think and if their beliefs are indeed true, but with this point, I tend to agree with Locke that there is no such thing as innateness.

what he is saying is that there is now idea of god in us because there is no innate idea, but he says that god made it obvious enough that he existes so he didn't need to put the innate idea of himself in us.
