Agnosticism

A community portal about Agnosticism with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims - particularly theological claims regarding metaphysics, afterlife or the existence of God, god, or deities - is unknown or inherently unknowable. Some agnostics take a stronger view that the concept of a deity is incoherent, thus meaningless and irrelevant to life. The term is used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as about other matters of religion. Early Christian church leaders used the Greek word gnosis to describe "spiritual knowledge". "Agnostic" was introduced by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1869 to describe his philosophy. Agnosticism is not to be confused with religious views opposing the doctrine of gnosis and Gnosticism - these are religious concepts that are not generally related to agnosticism.

“Don’t assume. It’s just going to make an ass out of u and me“. Still, they assumed. And it did take an ass out of both of us. They assumed I have the same believe like they do. They assumed I worship the same thing they do. They assumed I celebrate the same religious event like they do. I have been wrongly [...] Read Full Story

"The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable. It is a deep aesthetic passion to rank with the finest that music and poetry can deliver. It is truly one of the things that make life worth living and it does so, if anything, more effectively if it convinces us that the time we have for living is quite finite." Man or reptile, I give you Richard Dawkins... Though I strongly disagree with his views on agnosticism, as... Read Full Story
