- I'm agnostic. Even though I hate the things religion has done to the world like war and poverty, I have no problem with anyone who is a believer. My problem with religion lies more so with how they spread the word to youth (ex. church camps, YoungLife, creationist theory, etc.) and the socially conservative viewpoints they have, despite claiming to "love everyone". I will definitely admit that my beef with religion is mostly with Christianity, as someone raised in the southern US.
- I'm a nihilist. I view the universe as godless and chaotic, and even though I think that most things are meaningless, I still believe in things. Therefore, I've been able to live my life the way I want to, and I'm happy with that.
- I consider myself a libertarian, specifically regarding social liberalization (there is absolutely no logical reason to infringe on people's basic human rights EVER)
- I don't believe in the notion that everything happens for a reason. To me, life is just a random series of events, and if anything appears to be fate, it's you placing meaning on an event.
- I don't believe in soul mates; you can find the perfect person, but they're not the only one.
- I don't believe in any supernatural things.
- Pro-choice. At the end of the day, you don't know their story, and no one has the right to police another person's body. Minors shouldn't have to cross state lines just to get an abortion.
- I believe in evolution, string theory and the Big Bang. There is just so much evidence for all of these ideas. If you try to tell me science is bullshit, then I feel sorry for you.
- We need to do something about global warming, especially since we're the ones who are causing it.
- I'm anti-war, but I acknowledge that it's going to happen.
- I'm pro-capital punishment, especially since there are so many innocent people who have been executed, and it is an incredibly backwards system.
- Animal testing is disgusting. We have found 800 cures for cancer in rats, but none for humans. What does that say about the effectiveness of this practice?
- The public education system definitely needs an overhaul. Standardized testing is a joke. All year round, we are taught how to pass a test, not things that will help us in the long run. A lot of students receive unequal education, simply because their learning style doesn't sync up with the school's.
- We need to stop acting like higher education is flawless, because it isn't. College tuition and other costs are ridiculously high. I believe that college and any other post-secondary option should be free because education is an investment and if society preaches the importance of education, why do they make you jump through hoops just to obtain it?
- Affirmative action is an unfair mandate and it needs to be eliminated. You know, since everyone's "equal" right? LOL...
- Again, gun control is an iffy situation. I presently don't own a firearm, but I will buy them for self-defense; I believe very strongly in self-defense. Besides, if it's illegal, they're still a way to get it.
- I am sex-positive. No matter if you're a virgin or promiscuous, society will try to make you look stupid for your choices, so why bother caring what they think? Our sex lives are no one else's business.
- I believe in chastity or saving yourself. Yay for you if you put a ring on it, but that's not me. I'm waiting for the right person, but not necessarily for marriage.
- My sex life is none of your business, and I don't judge you for your actions; although I think women who sleep around ARE sluts, my low opinion of women isn't law, so I don't fucking care and you shouldn't either. :)
- I believe we should revoke tax-exempt status from churches that participate in political action. I believe we should ban high-fructose corn syrup and that it's stupid to proclaim English as the sole language of the US, since we weren't even the original occupants of North America; it was the Native Americans.
- I am extremely wary of charities that seem to market themselves towards teenagers like Toms, TWLOHA, Invisible Children, etc. It just seems super sketchy that they would market themselves exclusively to that age group.
- My problem with TWLOHA is that it glamorizes cutting and suicide, and they do nothing, but sell ugly shirts and make money. They also donate to a bunch of homophobic anti-choice Christian ministry groups. Basically, they're trying to trick scene kids into going to church.
