Infidelic Manifesto, Version 1.1 (modified). It is, as the name suggests, an
explanation of Infidelic Primalism, the religious philosophy of the Infidelic
Church, as well as an introductory prototype. Later versions shall be "cleaned
up" for greater readability, will cover more topics, and shall go into more depth.
Infidel- from Latin infidelus, in (not) + fidelis(faithful)
An unbeliever in respect to religion, philosophy, etc.
Primal- from Latin primalis, primus(first)
First, in time sequence and/or importance. The Primal Force.
Infidelic Primalism- The philosophy of worshipping and honoring the Creator
of All things without belief in revelation or other arbitrary dogma.
THE MANIFESTO OF THE INFIDELIC CHURCH v1.0 (modified)
INTRODUCTION
Infidelic Primalism, or Neo-Primalism (so as not to be confused with
aboriginal revealed religions), is an agnostic religion founded in honor of the
Primal Creator of the Universe (the entity, force, or “natural laws” that are
ultimately responsible for our very existence), and in the interest of the things
that make our lives worthwhile.
An Infidel, in the sense I shall use throughout this document, is one who
does not come to beliefs through "blind" faith, especially faith in the revelations
of prophets. It follows that this Infidel Church does not count unyielding
religious faith amongst it's virtues, nor does it have any traditional deities or
arbitrary dogma, or claim to have an inside deal with the Creator of the Universe
or possess any esoteric mystical “knowledge”. And I charge that none of this is
needed or desirable, and that one does not need to be deluded by falsehoods in
order to have a fulfilling and meaningful spiritual life.
The primary symbol of this religion is the empty circle, which is symbolic of
our Primal Creator and of our refusal to dress Him up and paint a face on Him
and claim to possess His divine “revelations” (in other words turn Him into an
invisible sock-puppet) as well as our lack of dogma and of the simple and
natural principles of this church.
