Though it seems straight-forward to me, I guess I should explain the title of this blog, "Agnatheist."
"Agnatheist" simply combines two words, "agnostic" and "atheist", as well as their meanings. While I consider myself to be mostly atheistic, I am not omnipotent and therefore cannot say with absolute certainty that there is no "god" or other supernatural being or life-force, although I don't believe such an entity is manifest in any of the mainstream religions currently out there.
So here I am. Ninety-five percent atheist, five percent wondering "what if?"
What if there is a god, but he/she accepts all comers?
What if there was a "big bang," but god orchestrated it?
What if god created the universe and all life within it? Then where did god come from?
What if there really is a Flying Spaghetti Monster?
The beauty and complexity of life certainly does seem miraculous, but so much can also be broken-down into cellular chemistry that is complex, but reproducible.
Believers say simply to have faith; I simply cannot!

Interesting you say this. Some friends and I have considered starting a website with a similar name and similar principles. Well maybe not exactly. We wanted to create a place for people to discuss these types of topics, as we don't see a current forum for these discussions online.
What do you think?
Sounds like a noble cause.
BTW, Happy ChristmaHannaKwanzikaSolstice to everyone!
Along this same vein of thought, have you checked out Spiritual Humanism (you can believe whatever you want, but the church officically believes only what can be proven scientifically), or, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (hilarious, yet thought-provoking)?
Both of these have websites.
