I'd like to see that sub forum. Most of us are skeptics and there's much to be skeptical about beyond religion: pseudo science; para normal; conspiracy theories. . .
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

We could call it "Horseshit" and be done with it. Pardon my simplemindedness.

The truly Batshit crazy stuff is not the dangerous stuff. The dangerous stuff is the stuff which looks vaguely plausible.

Plausible to you may be something very different from plausible to a random person on the street...

For example?
