My worldview:
Much like the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, I also believe that humans have unalienable rights that should not be impinged on. These include freedom of religion, freedom to pursue happiness, and the freedom to have a say in how they are governed by the state. At no time should one person's pursuit of happiness reduce another person's similar pursuit. This is very much like the Golden Rule, "Do unto to others . . ." etc.
I think humanity and being human is a very wonderful experience, and meeting new people is one of the greatest joys that I have ever encoutered. I think that the diversity of human experience is our greatest asset as a species. Religion, sprituality, and supernatural experiences should not be quashed, but at the same time it should not be hoisted onto society. Each person should be allowed to find their own path in their lives and the experiences they bring out of that path is their contribution to our species.
No matter what our ultimate origins are, we still have the same responsibilities to ourselves and to society. We are here to better ourselves and better the experience of being alive. Societies should function to further those goals, as an incubator for human dreams and human endeavour. Once society squelches those goals it is our responsibility to protest those limitations and fight to have them removed no matter if it is in our community or in someone else's community.
