  7. “I can honestly say I am a Christian, but my spirituality has been developed on the road and is based on my experiences with God.” - Justin Timberlake, Rolling Stone, January 23, 2003, p. 38. “I believe in the spiritual afterlife. I believe, in some shape or form, in past-life regression and souls coming back to Earth for unfinished business. You know, when you run into people and you're like, 'I know I've met you somewhere?' I think maybe you actually did. I think that's what soul mates means-that you were connected to that person in a past life.“ -Justin Timberlake responding to the question, "What do you think happens to you when you die?" from Blender magazine, December 2002, p. 60.

  8. "My dad's been a Scientologist for thirty-five years . . . My grandfather was a Presbyterian minister, and my mother raised us Jewish, so I've had lots of influences. But whatever." - Singer/songwriter Beck, Spin, November 2002, p. 80.

  9. “I think a lot of people are losing their religion. Definitely. Even me, I know that when I grew up, I used to go to church every Sunday, and now it’s become holidays. But I think as long as you have your own thing, whether it’s meditation—anything that centers you in life is good. Do I pray? Yeah, I do.”- Actress Kirsten Dunst, Rolling Stone, May 23, 2002, p. 69. “First I was ‘angry’, then ‘spiritual’. Now I don't know what I am.” -Alanis Morissette from Rolling Stone’s daily e-mail April 29, 2002.

  14. Naturalism

  15. Naturalism the world as we see it

  16. Naturalism NATURE Nothing

  17. “It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God…I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that… My guess is that this cosmic authority problem is not rare and that it is responsible for much of the scientism and reductionism of our time .” Thomas Nagel Professor of Law and Philosophy NYU

  18. “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of humanlife.” (Planned Parenthood V. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 [1992]). Opinion by O’Connor, Kennedy and Souter

  19. In the beginning were the particles and the impersonal laws of physics. And the particles somehow became complex living stuff; And the stuff imagined God; But then discovered evolution.

  20. Naturalism: How should we live? I must find meaning IN my life because there is no meaning OF my life Existentialism

  21. Existentialism: I gotta be me! “Marilyn Manson signifies freedom. He’s showing that it’s OK to be yourself even if people don’t agree to it. And that’s what makes us like him so much - that we can be different. We can have fangs. We can dye our hair.” -CNN

  22. Naturalism: How should we live? I must find meaning IN my life because there is no meaning OF my life Existentialism Life is nothing, empty; I need to do anything I want Nihilism

  23. Mr. Rogers You told me everybody was my neighbor. They took advantage of me. I wish I hadn’t watched you. I hate you . . .

  24. Nihilism in Rock Porno for Pyros Suicidal Tendencies Suicide White Zombie Angelcorpse Autopsy Blood Christ Agony Deicide Demonic Dissection Impaled Nazarene Hades Luciferon Massacre Necrophobic rotting Christ Sadistic Intent Slayer Torchure Alice in Chains Acid Drinkers Anthrax Death Angel God Forsaken House of Pain Hellhammer Helloween Judas Priest Life Sex and Death megadeth Obituary Beck Biohazard Black Sabbath Body Count Sodom Death of Millions

  25. PUNK

  26. Nihilism in LIFE For whoever finds [wisdom] finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But whoever fails to find it harms himself; and all who hate it love death. Proverbs 8:35-36

  27. Naturalism: How should we live? I must find meaning IN my life because there is no meaning OF my life Existentialism Life is nothing, empty; I need to do anything I want Nihilism Life has no purpose other than pleasure! Go for it!!! Hedonism

  28. HEDONISM eat, drink and whatever . . . “You only live once. Nobody gets out of this alive. So you might as well drink it all and snort it all and live as fast as you can. I don’t won’t to be fifty and look back and say, “I wish I’d done that.” And if you get in trouble along the way, so what? You pay the dues.” -Nikki Sixx Motley Crue

  29. Naturalism: How should we live? I must find meaning IN my life because there is nomeaning OF my life Existentialism Life is nothing, empty; I need to do anything I want Nihilism Life has no purpose other than pleasure! Go for it!!! Hedonism Humanism I must make the world a better place for humans

  30. “I use the word ‘Humanist’ to mean someone who believes that man is just as much a natural phenomenon as an animal or plant; that his body, mind and soul were not supernaturally created but are products of evolution, and that he is not under the control or guidance of any supernatural being or beings, but has to rely on himself and his own powers.” Julian Huxley American Humanist Association

  31. TRANSCENDENTALISM NATURE = “GOD” Nothing

  32. "I like spirituality, not religion or politics. Religion turns into 'My god's bigger than your god; therefore, you're a heathen, and you should die, and I'll take your land and build a temple on top of your flattened house.' Religion is a corrupt business. Spirituality is like water and sun. When it rains, the prostitute and the pope get wet just the same. Spirituality is not memorizing the Koran or the Bible while hurting people in the name of Allah or Jesus or Buddha or oil. We are all chosen. Surely we have the capacity to transmute anger and fear into a masterpiece of joy." - Carlos Santana, USA Today, October 16, 2002, 1D "Shamans heal with music and herbs. You have Buddha, Krishna, Allah, Rama, Jehovah ... they all want unity and harmony on this planet, all of them. That's the message: unity and harmony and transform your fear." - Carlos Santana speaking about the title of Santana's latest album titled, Shaman, Associated Press, October 16, 2002.
