Noznisiance

A project has begun to create a new type of religion.

*A religion that considers doubt fundamental

*A religion that is inclusive

*A religion that entertains multiple traditions and beliefs

*A religion that learns and improves over time

*A religion that is self critical

You are invited to take part in the philosophical development of this new religion. What beliefs are important? What ideas will work?

Wonder: the metaphor of human intelligence being drawn to question the nature and meaning of existence.

Humility: the metaphor of our own minds as providing a limited perspective on a brief moment of time.

It goes against our cultural intuitions to believe that those of little courage are deserving of an inheritance.

In the original Gospel of Mathew, written in Greek, the word used was "praus", which was also used to describe a soothing medicine or a gentile breeze. So ... read more
