Christopher Hitchens, Surrender of Reason

I made this image, using the Hitch with a quote of his. :)

Christopher Hitchens | Surrender of Reason

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it’s the surrender of reason, it’s the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It’s our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

EDIT: I have put this up for sale. Read the follow up post.

    I believe that the poster is a true summation of my feelings and beliefs concerning faith. I would like to know where this poster might be purchased.

    LOVE! Must. have. Where can I find such an awesome poster for purchase? Zazzle, cafe press? Some hole in the wall store in Sri Lanka? … Shit. Ok. Gimme a couple days to pack.

    Seriously, this is a gotta have it!

    I do have use Zazzle but I don’t have rights to sell Hitch’s likeness. If I could get permission, though, that’d be cool. Until then, I’ll stick with web-viewable artwork. I have started making some desktop wallpapers, some of which I shall post shortly. Thank you so much!!

    This would make a great T-shirt. What is your highest resolution of this rendering?

    I have just seen your Carl Sagan poster. I would like to get a copy of this as well.

    Thank you so much but, like I said, I don’t have rights to sell the original image of Hitch. However, I can make one with just the quote and put it up for sale. I will let you know when it’s up. :)

    So I made poster versions of this one, since it appears to be the most popular. More to come. Read about it here.
