PUNK IS: the personal expression of uniqueness that comes from the experiences of growing up in touch with our human ability to reason and ask questions.

You can't take up all the music bins at a CD retail outlet with Spice Girls CDs and leave nothing for the Joan Jett catalogue.

I don't bill myself as an atheist but as a naturalist. Naturalism is a belief system. A lot of scientists bristle at that. We all have to believe we can find the truth. Evidence is my guide. I rely on observation, experimentation and verification.

The thread of culture that runs through the entire history of punk is also a dedication to challenging the authoritarian.

We should enjoy and make the most of life, not because we are in constant fear of what might happen to us in a mythical afterlife, but because we have only one opportunity to live.

We delude ourselves into believing that morality comes from somewhere else, whereas in reality we behave as we've been told to behave.

Unfortunately, the average guy on the street believes that studying evolution leads to atheism.
