Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely soley upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.

Why do humans exist? A major part of the answer: because Pikaia Gracilens survived the Burgess decimation.

If everybody spent enough time worrying about their own goddamn selves, no one would have to worry about anyone else.
