Thank God I'm an Agnostic

For those not content with mainstream religion but who still feel the need for spiritual understanding, this book offers an alternative. Departing from a tableau of struggling churches and fading numbers of 'believers,' the author invites readers to join him in mining meaning from an increasingly meaningless world. Discarding creeds and dogma, the author's series of reflections opens new possibilities for a personal spirituality springing from the readers' own experience. What former voices have called 'faith,' the author refers to as a hunch, a built-in part of human equipment. Drawing upon such varied sources as Socrates and Waylon Jennings, martyrs and dog trainers, he reveals a route to truth that lies unnoticed before our very eyes. Instead of swinging between the poles of creedalism and mere non-belief, he locates a posture that has little to do with either and gives agnosticism its proper place in the modernseeker's world.
