Welcome deadhobbitt. You mentioned that if you were a theist you would be a Karaite. I'm not familiar with that. Can you explain more about this? |
Karaite Judaism is a denomination that relies only on the Tanach (Hebrew Bible) for its beliefs. Any non-Biblical traditions - whether it's an Oral Law (like the Orthodox Jews have), other books (New Testament, Qu'ran, etc.), or something else - are rejected. The motto is "Study the scriptures carefully and rely not on my opinion", and is attributed to Anan ben David (who is
incorrectly thought by many scholars to have created Karaism). Before I turned agnostic, I affiliated with Karaism.
