- there's more to the universe than meets the eye
- intelligence exists so that we can experience the universe for whatever force created us
- intelligence also exists so we can learn as much as possible about the universe, because that shows the art and subtlety of its creation
- there's probably some form of reincarnation
- there's probably some form of an afterlife
- every memory ever is saved by the universe
- original sin is a horrible and hate-centered idea and needs to be abolished
- the universe will give you what you need if you look for it and ask for it
- meaning in life comes from you, not something outside you
- question everything and come to your own conclusions because blind faith is the most dangerous thing in the world
- science and faith are not opposites, but reason and being unquestioning are
- fundamentalism is hateful, no matter where it comes from
- reality is what we make of it
- how we think about things affects how we see things, so why not choose a story that makes the world a better place to understand it?
- everything is connected
- everything wants us to be happy
- find your own way; no one can tell you it's less valid than theirs
- all religions are based on the same questions and the same ideas, but how people play them out determines whether they're faith or blind faith, and whether they're good or bad
- people are amazing and should be recognized as such
- life will find a way, even if we don't
- magic is just science we don't understand yet
- the human mind can't comprehend anything as complex as a god; people claiming they know what god thinks are idiots
- art is touching another reality
- religious experience can come from anywhere, at any time
- nature is necessary for soul-health
- so it quiet
- regardless of whether there's a heaven or hell, a damaged soul damages the life around it, so care for your soul
