I don't know if you will ever become a skeptic because you seem far too stupid for that.
What the hell?

Imho Here's what you do: read, read, read, and then some more. In this case, why not start with "The Demon haunted World" by Sagan.

though im very much more skeptical than i used to be ie: people would tell me when i was a kid how things have a way of working out, and everythings gonna okay and stuff, and god has a plan for us all, and dreams do come true - so a lot of hard years later i definitely saw thats not always teh case!
i guess nowadays im more skeptical of christin logic, and dont really believe in psychic/astronomy stuff as much, but when i see like a fortune cookie or horoscope that matches up perfectly, it still does make me wonder.
but also another person told me that you cant really change your core beliefs and personality, and you can try but in the end the inner you will keep leaking out....so idk, but im more able to see nowadays what i want/like rather than having people tell me what i should want/like.

Oh how I hate when people conflate the two.
You know what I hate even more when people conflate it? Stupidity and lack of education. Skepticism and Intelligence.
