There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

To clarify some of my personal beliefs: Yes, I am a Christian. No, I am not a creationist, homophobe, or even a Republican (pre-Reagan I might have been). I'm a panentheist (not the same as pantheist, feel free to look it up), who identifies as Christian mainly because I like the idea that God loved me enough to die for me. I accept that this is not rational, and that I lack a shred of proof, and I'm fine with that. I have faith, and I don't feel the need to force or convince anyone else to agree with me. If you're pre-disposed to believe in God, I think you should just go with it, if not, that's fine too.
I've written a few satirical articles on CP, that have yet to be identified as such, and at least one editor has been blocked for five years for trying to undo a change I made. I've also written several articles here however, because I frequently forget to log in, many are not attributed to me. :( --Mustex 17:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I have no comment on animal-cruelty-related questions.--Mustex (talk) 00:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
BTW, I've used several terms to define my faith over the past few months, and while no one's called BS on me, I thought it might be useful if I explained how these are not mutually exclusive categories:
Christian: Follower of (my interpretation of) Christ. Simple enough.
Panentheist: This is my cosmology. The universe is a part of God. That's how I view God's relation to us.
Red Letter Christian: How I read the bible. If Jesus didn't say it, it can be wrong.
Agnostic: I define myself in this in the original sense of the word. I believe the existence of God to be truly unknowable for certain (pretty much why I reject the idea of God throwing people into hell for not believing in him). However, in this sense my agnosticism simple means "I THINK that I can't know for certain, but I BELIEVE this."
