The unicorn could be pink at one wavelength, and invisible at another. This could occur at the lower (red) edge of the visible light portion of the spectrum (below the red is the infrared, which most people cannot see into, although people who had the old type of cataract surgery [in which the natural lens was simply removed, and the patients used glasses to see] could see some way into both the infrared and the ultraviolet). In C.C. Humphreys' novel "The Hunt of the Unicorn," the unicorn, Moonspill, mentioned that "my mother's sister is a shade of pink." Regarding the purpose behind the whole invisible pink unicorn thing:



I just shrug and say, "To each his or her own." If they're right, nothing matters anyway (which the Marquis de Sade, for whom sadism is named, gleefully pointed out). He was delighted to be an atheist because it removed any even slight twinge of fear that he might be called upon to account for his actions--which involved subjecting others to great torment, pain, and suffering, because it brought him great pleasure to do so. I am not saying that all or even most atheists engage in sadism or other repulsive acts, but I am saying that atheism provides a moral foundation, for individuals and societies, that is about as durable as a sand castle on a beach. Also:



If one goes by science, it offers no moral guidance, and the only moral message that can be inferred from it is "might makes right." Science is a wonderful and useful tool for solving physical problems, but that is all it is. Secular humanists and religious people alike don't agree that "might makes right," but the secular humanists "borrowed" their morality from Judaism and Christianity. But if the atheists are right, then good, bad, right, and wrong are just private, personal preferences, having no universality, and anyone's idea of morality is no better or worse than anyone else's. There are secular people--I have had the misfortune of meeting some of them (a few of them pretended to be devoutly religious for the express purpose of taking advantage of others)--whose ideas of right and wrong involved being totally selfish, and even committing some criminal acts, which they considered perfectly good and proper, and:



While I am not conventionally religious, the shamanic experiences I have had (using only shamanic drumming, as the anthropologist and shaman Dr. Michael Harner taught) confirmed that there is far more to reality, our lives (now and post-mortem), and our responsibilities than we modern people--outside of houses of worship--are taught. I don't strive for perfection to avoid the wrath of the Creator, but because I, like all of us, were made for far more than we can envision, and I want to play my part in the symphony of life as well as I can, because it creates more joy for others as well as for myself.
