Default The Church of Agnost

Dear friends

I want to inform you that I just founded the

Church of Agnost

Yahou!
I think that there are a lot of us out there so i thought it would be nice to know where we are. Also i think that a lot of people think that there only the choice between religion and atheism and having an organization, a catchy term and a nice logo might help to spread the idea. All this religious fundamentalism in the world makes me increasingly sick so i think there's something to be done. I don't know if this is a good idea, but i give it a try.
I would appreciate it a lot if you would hop over to the Church of Agnost website at www.agnost.net and tell me what you think about it. Good idea? Bad idea? Irrelevant? I'd like to know.

Have fun,
Sebastian

sebi, welcome to our community.

Potentially good idea but why the .net? Did you know the .org is available for registration?

To be honest, after reading the "2 commandments" I'm not sure if this site is meant as satire or a true attempt at starting a following.

In your theory of god section you ask more questions than you giv eanswers or theory.

Could you explain more in depth?

Whats the difference between a .net and the .org? I assume this is for tax porposises?

Hi George,

Thanks for the reply.

Regarding the domain, to be honest, i just thought agnost.net sounded better :-)
But you are right, the top level domains were originally set up for different puposes, .org or non-profit organizations, .net for network and Internet related organizations. But meanwhile there is not such a strict separation anymore , a lot of peoply use top level domains at will because they make for good puns or whatever. But I will think about it.

Yes, there is some satire in this project (that's why i called this whole thing "Church"), but basically it's meant to be a serious thing without taking things too seriously. The two commandments are in there because religious people often say that non-religious people have no moral, that they live only for their own advantage and so on. Of course this is nonsense, I guess that i adhere more to the 10 commandments than a lot of christians, but I don't have to read it in a book to know that it is not ok to kill or steal. I have my own set of rules I try to adhere to and the Two Commandments of the Church of Agnost come pretty close to that i think. And i think they work pretty well. But of course i can only talk for myself, maybe they are unsuitable for most people.
What i want to avoid is to attract those "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" kind of people and i think the Two Commandments pretty much excludes such a way of thinking (at least I hope so).

In the theory of god I explain why I think that there is a god but that this insight/opinion has nothing to do with religion. I ask two questions on that page and answer both in the very next sentence :-) But probably that's not really your point, is it?
Maybe I do not give much theory but apart from that what wrote down there I don't know much more to say. There probably is a god but we can't know anything about it. Well, thats it more or less.
Again, that section is there because often religious people think that if they "prove" that there is a god they also proved their religion to be true. Nonsense again, of course. They claim to talk about god, instead they talk about religion. The theory of god section is supposed to make the difference a bit clearer.

Again thanks for your answer and regards,
Sebastian

Hiya An-Jel! I didn't mean to be away for so long. Such a busy month! Between teaching Spanish to hubby & another student & working 40 hrs a week, I don't get to post as much as I should. Thx for the note!

The Church of Agnost is a loose conglomeration of people who do not believe in religion (or who at least do not take it too seriously) and who adhere to the two commandments of the Church of Agnost (at least as good as possible)
That hurt my brain. But welcome!
