A Jesus Agnostic Star Trek Robot

A Jesus Agnostic Star Trek Robot

Gnomad

I had to share this cartoon from Evolving Perspectives. It brings together Jesus-mythicism and Star Trek, after all.

First, if you are wondering about the hat, that is because this isโ€ฆwait for itโ€ฆGNOMAD!

But now, about the substance, it seems to me to use โ€œagnosticโ€ in a rather bizarre way. We are not โ€œagnosticโ€ about things that have a certainty that is less than absolute. If I say that something is probable, does that make me an agnostic about it?

Historical uncertainty is a problem for fundamentalist dogmatism. But it seems odd to suggest thatย anyone who reject such dogmatism is aptly labeled โ€œagnostic.โ€
