Don't ever explain why you're skeptical, then you can't be skeptical anymore! Skepticism is only valid if you don't give reasons for it!
I have to say, JairCrawford, to me, has been like a breath of fresh air for being a theist notable for her courtesy and reasonableness.
I think that you can give reason for being skeptical, or for why the evidence is not sufficient. There where claims being made, that go beyond being skeptical.
And I agree, Jair has a lot of patience and the spirit of a moderator. I wish I could be more like that.
