I am Purple Rabbit. I am for democracy, rationality and openness. I don't believe in fairy tales, but I do believe in people. I believe in debate and confrontation with raw rational arguments as a means of personal growth. I don't believe in hate. I believe in the strength of independent thinking. I don't believe we're being monitored in everything we do and think by some cosmic entity who benchmarks us to an absolute heavenly standard. I think moral is a cultural dependent concept and that our mental capacities oblige us to make fair rational choices and to base moral constructs on rationality and fairness. I believe in cooperation. I think every life has meaning just because it's finite. I think the scientific method is our next best thing to truth, an insurance policy against superstition and dogma. I think we know a lot more than some 2000 years ago. I think religions are myths scrambled, corrupted, reshuffled and reinterpreted many times. I think there is not an idea more perverted than the idea of eternal damnation. In the face of utter lack of evidence I decline all supernatural claims on the principle of parsimony. I believe strong claims need strong evidence. I believe this universe is a good place to be in but rather indifferent to our needs. And that it is not some passage to a more real world were everything is perfectly arranged to fit even our petty needs. I believe meaning is a human concept that only individuals can shape and that we ourselves are responsible to fulfill. I look forward to the discussions here with you all.
