Why Agnostic Universe?

Friday, April 1st, 2005

I really wanted agnostic.org but it was taken long ago by someone that has put up an Agnostic Church site with an Agnostic Bible. However, it hasn’t been updated since 1999. It’s an interesting read and I’ve linked to it, but I’m writing my own Agnostic Bible for the common man with less philosophical discussion in it. It’s also posted in the Library section here.

I’ve read a lot from the Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic (UCTAA). But I’ve decided to make my own site, because I actually do care that I don’t know anything about a creator. UCTAA presents Agnosticism with a little too much humor and they don’t view the belief as truly religious in nature. I have a sense of humor and I may let it loose on this site from time to time, but I want to treat this topic with a certain amount of respect. If anyone reads this, I want them to be able to seriously say “I believe that and it is a valid religion for me to believe in.”

I also have an interest in a new religious group called Universism. It’s kind of like United Universalists in that it brings together different beliefs, but it excludes dogmatic beliefs like those found in most major religions. I’ll make a more extensive entry about that in the future, but I bring it up because that led me to call this the Agnostic Universe to show that relationship. They’re already starting up a Universist Agnostic website at agnosis.org, but it currently doesn’t have any content. Since this site is mine and not officially part of anything else I wanted a name that didn’t tie it directly to anything else.

AgnosticUniverse.org begins

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

Well, I’ve started a new website. There are several Agnostic websites and resources already available on the Internet, but none of them totally feel like home. Also, none of them contain the content that I feel presents my beliefs 100% accurately. So I’ve decided to make an Agnostic site and here it is.

I’ve put up a few quick things to start it up. The FAQ only has 3 questions and answers, so that is definitely a work in progress. The Library only has what I’ve written as my Agnostic Bible and it will be a continuous work in progress for a good while to come. Finally, I installed this blog program real quick. I haven’t even figured out how to change the links on it yet. Like I said, it’s a definite work in progress.

I plan on spouting off in this blog from time to time about such things as this category, which is about the site itself. I’ll also post my musings about other topics in whatever categories I need to add. So check back in from time to time and there should be at least a little something fresh here.
