Purchasing One's Atheism Cheaply

[Esquilax]

How many atheists here have discussed a skepticism of their own skepticism? How many of them have discussed the question of whether skepticism needs a qualifier?

I keep trying to unpack the phrase "skepticism of skepticism" and the only thing I can come up with is the idea that one should question whether skepticism should be applied? To which the answer is, of course it should, because otherwise you're in the boat of accepting all claims uncritically, which would put you in the position of simply being wrong much more than you are right.

And the truth is, you're a skeptic too, in most places. For some reason you just think that methodology should be questioned and undermined when it comes to atheism, and not when it comes to, say, claims of space whales and whatnot.

"Those a-spacewhaleists have purchased their a-spacewhaleism cheaply! Where is their intellectual rigor over whether they should be skeptical over their disbelief in space whales?!"- No one, ever.
