Why Agnostic Universe?
Friday, April 1st, 2005I 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.
