- Go to How About an Agnostic Church?
Agnostic Church? Sign me up!
I have looked around briefly on the internet for agnostic organizations, and the pickings were pretty slim. We agnostics seem to either be thrown in with atheists, or attract all kinds of undesirable people who want no accountability, no responsibility, and no morality! Atheists and agnostics are very different from each other. Atheists deny any possibility of the metaphysical, and agnostics want to investigate EVERY possibility! But both can be extremely moral, ethical, and respectful of all other belief systems.

The great Christian scholar C.S. Lewis said...
Spend more time questioning answers than you do answering questions. 
Agnostic church. Good idea.

It would be an epic, Westwend
and it could be done as four movies, say,
Christianity I: The Early Years,
Christianity II: The Controversial Beliefs,
Christianity III: Formulation of a Religion, and
Christianity IV: Organization Takes Hold.

problem is
where would there be support for that
maybe the guy who did THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST?
MARTIN SCORCESE? -- dunno --
it would most certainly be controversial.
the first half millenium of Christianity . . .
sheesh!

Yes, early Christianity was a turbulent religion in the making
Now that would be a good movie to produce, Mr. Gibson. Why not do that?

actually . . .
there are indications that that's what the early band of believers was all about.
I Corinthians shows indications of this questioning church -- two or three speaking.
before certain "bishops" "unified" the "church" by force, death and certain other punishment, there were dozens of viewpoints about the nature of just about anything.
Then one of them came up with the Nicene Creed and anyone that had disagreement with that could look forward to serious consequences.
viva la quest!
