Pragmatic humanist? Secular humanist? Doesn't matter! As long as your stewardship and compassion towards humanity is intact, endowed with a healthy sense of disdain for intellectual elitism... coupled with an overwhelming urge to enjoy life, bolster community, be accountable for our actions, and provide endless love and support for the awe and wonder that is the planet we inhabit... you are in like flynn. Cheerio groovy birds (no offense)... burn well, hug people... and create this sort of energy on and off the playa. Huzzah!

Whether god exists or not, we are still going to have to figure all of this out together....

Ubi Dubium Ibi Libertas
"The Existence of Doubt Proves
the Presence of Liberty."

"...but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the
world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too
much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...and
then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then
it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude
for every single moment of my stupid little life.."
-- American Beauty

"The universe is a strange and wondrous place. The truth is quite odd enough to need no help from pseudoscientific charlatans."
Richard Dawkins, author of The Selfish Gene

"My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it. An agnostic is somebody who doesn't believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I'm agnostic."
-Carl Sagan, American astronomer and author

"If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine- but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good- and CARES about any of it- to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working. "
-Frank Zappa, American musician

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
Si Dieu n'existait pas, il faudrait l'inventer.
