Saw this sticker in the back window of a car today, and just had to take a picture. It speaks simply but eloquently.

Mission Statement
I started this blog at the beginning of 2008, as an outlet for my sceptical musings on various topics, inspired by the examples of the Skeptoid and The Skeptic's Guide To The Universe podcasts, and Skepchick.org among many others. This is me doing my part to get the message out to as many people as possible that rationality is vitally important - especially given the increasingly vocal nature of the competition.
Though the main focus of this blog will be sceptical musings about my own areas of interest, such as philosophy, science fiction, politics and ecology, I expect virtually every conceivable topic will come up at one point or another, including abstract thoughts about the value of scepticism itself.
So come and join the debate.
As if you wanted to know...
- Darkwinter
- Wolverhampton, West Midlands, United Kingdom
- Darkwinter was born from the diseased mind of a philosophy student in the later moons of 2004. Since which, he has attained a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Politics, a Master's degree in Philosophy, had a short story published (Click), and continued both his education and his interest in writing. He also maintains a music review blog and a sceptical blog. He considers himself to have been a practicing sceptic since early 2007, and fully intends to be active in this role.

Why do we have to pick one?
I like both. JMHO.
PS. Cool blog
Thanks for the compliment. The point made by the sticker (and one with which I obviously agree) is that if you are truly using your reason, then faith makes no sense. If you ask for evidence from everything else in your life, it is inconsistent to not do so on matters of faith. Likewise, if you have faith, there is no need to use pure reason because everything is neatly explained by "God did it".
Thank you for the comment - this blog is still in its infancy and it's always gratifying to receive feedback from anyone who happens to read it.
