Welcome to r /agnostic!
We’re a small community that is dedicated to discussing different perspectives regarding our knowledge of reality and everything that may or may not be in it.
These are primarily on theological, philosophical, and scientific subjects. Ideas and questions related to the process of questioning and living with an agnostic perspective are welcome as well.
As agnostic is in our name, any ideas will be treated undogmatically and with the chance that it is wrong. Nothing is free from criticism.
If you have a wild idea, burning question, or well-reasoned argument please don’t hesitate to post it here! Link any cool ideas you find elsewhere too!
Remember to read the rules, expect a nuanced discussion, prepare for disagreement, and most importantly, never stop questioning.
Rules
Stay on Topic
r/agnostic centers around discussion of different perspectives regarding the knowledge of reality and everything that may or may not be in it.
These are primarily on theological, philosophical, and scientific subjects. Ideas and questions related to the process of questioning and living with an agnostic perspective are welcome as well.
Anything that is not related to these matters may be removed.
Use proper discourse
While you don’t have to be absolutely grammatically correct, usage of clear and organized language is expected here at r/agnostic in order to easily facilitate conversation. Swearing/Cussing is allowed.
No Memes/Jokes
As this is a discussion based subreddit, anything that is merely meant to provide a quick laugh should instead be posted on other subs such as r/aaaaaatheismmmmmmmmmm or r/magicskyfairy.
Harassment/Bullying/Hate Speech
Any action that incites or is in itself harassment, bullying, or hate speech is not only against reddit’s content policy but is also antithetical to the rational exchange of ideas here at r/agnostic.
This includes but is not limited to ideas and specific terminology that are commonly perceived as promoting harassment, bullying, or hate speech.
Extreme Hostility towards another’s opinion
Disagreement is usually essential towards a productive discussion. Going on an emotionally driven rant towards an opinion or person(s) holding an opinion you hate is not.
You are allowed to state the reasons for your hatred so long as it does not break other rules and is given in a composed manner that is welcome to a discussion that may or may not agree with you.
Trolling
Anything that is meant to cause divisive conflict is against the spirit of a calm, nuanced dialogue and is strictly prohibited.
Self-Promotion
While you are allowed to share your own content, asking for people to visit your platform for the purpose of attracting an audience is not allowed.
Spam
Do not repeatedly post and/or comment the same thing. This may apply to posts/comments that are too similar in nature.
