Supposed Skeptics?
#19
RE: Supposed Skeptics?
It isn't just a religious/supernatural or medical issue. The people who have driven me the battiest while claiming to be skeptics are the ones with a conspiracy theory (or more usually a dozen of them). They will tell me that it's being skeptical that caused them to see that the conspiracy theory is right. Then they accept the wackiest evidence in support of the theory while dismissing all evidence against it as fraudulent. What they are doing is mistaking cynicism about the government, a racial group, scientists, or something else, for skepticism.

My current favs are chemtrails and FEMA death camps.
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.
