There is no such thing as a "strong argument" against skepticism. What you are asking for here would be a strong argument that we should be skeptical of skepticism......which, in addition to being ludicrous, is just more skepticism.........
I get it, I get it, you wanted to find a term that you thought could square some positive claim on someone, too bad. Once a person goes about giving arguments "against god" they are no longer being skeptical. Skepticism is simply a principle of incredulity. Of not accepting any old bullshit someone decides to mouth off. Even a believer can be a skeptic, and most are.
Having dispensed with the nonsense, I think that the strongest argument for and against peoples gods is the argument from personal experience. For those that have them, they seem to be quite compelling, and from listening to them as an outsider, it becomes clear that we are a very, very gullible species.
....as to the above...... what's the tender underbelly to your not believing in Thor?
