These truths I hold to be self-evident:

We are human beings, intelligent and self-aware, possessing both reason and emotion, with the potential for immense good as well as terrible evil. Which of these two comes to be depends on our choices.

Every human being possesses inherent worth, and every human life is equally valuable. Our conscious existence is a thing worthwhile for its own sake, requiring no further justification.

By the exercise of our free will, we can select our own purpose and imbue our lives with meaning. Each person has the right and the responsibility to steer their own course through life.

Through the use of reason and conscience, we can perceive morality, defined as the principles of behavior which produce the greatest happiness and the least suffering both now and in the future. Morality is not dependent on personal opinion or societal prejudice, but is objective and universal and is accessible to every intelligent being. We should, to the best of our ability, obey these principles and be good to each other.

Human beings possess fundamental rights and freedoms upon which no one may infringe. Among these are freedom of conscience, freedom of expression, freedom of association, the right to privacy, the right to an education, the right to live in peace and safety, and the right to seek happiness.

There is a world that exists independently of us, which is not altered by will alone, but which we can learn about and come to understand and control.

Only through reason and the scientific method can we hope to learn how the world works. No other method of gaining knowledge is reliable and all claims to knowledge not gained through this method should be considered suspect.

The free human intelligence is a thing of awesome power, and has the right to travel and explore wherever it desires to go. No reason can ever justify the censorship or suppression of ideas.

The only ethical form of government is democracy. Every society has both the right and the obligation to revolt against and overthrow any other system.

The purpose of government is to establish justice, insure peace, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to all its citizens. Any government that does not speak for all its citizens equally or that ignores the needs of its most needy members deserves to be removed from power at once.

Wealth and power can only be a means to an end and never an end in themselves.

Throughout history, human beings have created a vast number of religious belief systems, all of which describe a supernatural world beyond our own. There is no good evidence in favor of any of these belief systems and no reason to consider any of them to be true. Supernaturalism and superstition have never done anything more than harm us, turn us against each other and hold us back. The effort and resources we pour into religion should instead be used for the benefit of all our fellow human beings.

And finally, I affirm that despite all our flaws and follies, despite all the darkness and madness in our past, and despite the forces of ignorance and hatred that beset us as never before, there is and will always be hope. We human beings have undreamed-of potential which we are only just beginning to touch on, and as long as people of courage and principle are willing to stand and defend what is right, we can create for ourselves and our descendants a future of bright light and clear air, a better world where we have at last achieved the good it was always in our power to bring about.

"For small creatures such as us, the vastness is bearable only through love."

"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Carl Sagan

"It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God, but to create him." - Arthur C. Clarke

"You know your god is man-made when he hates all the same people you do."

"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart."
-- H. L. Mencken

"Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions"
-- Blaise Pascal
About Me:
 
I do not "hate God" because he has not fulfilled my wishes. I didn't get a new car for Christmas this past year, and I don't hate Santa do I? I also do not collectively hate all Christians or other religious people, I just wish they would stop trying to weasel their way into our politics and our constitution. THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY.

Hello there, my new godless metalhead chum. \m/

So many people differ in telling you what to believe?! Most want you to simply believe in them and their ideas. I say... FUCK THAT! And believe in yourself; for at least you know you exist and have the potential to be your own GOD.

"I posses no 'spirituality' nor do I seek it in the traditional sense of the word. I realize that this inner happiness is sought by others and may be achieved by some; but I do not hunger for this state of being. My honest realization that we are not the products of a deity, and the freedom and responsibility this entails is spiritual enlightenment. My definition of spirituality is the sound of laughter, love both given and received, conversation with friends, the beauty of nature, the thirst for knowledge, how one is moved by music, dance and art. It is these sensations, satisfactions and emotions that we all experience that give life joy, meaning and spirituality." --Scott Tebben

@truthseeker, I like and respect all you have had to say. Sincerely. Happy New Year.

And one last thing, @1ProudFemaleAtheist I agree with atheism. I find truth in all the labels mankind as piled up, and I was able to study them without prejudice knowing mankind would not have labels without truth in them. Each one hold a lot of wrong answers and a lot of truth
