Supposed Skeptics?

[Whateverist]

Too often I see critical thinking applied to justify conclusions already reached. I don't see any problem with holding beliefs for which evidence isn't available just so long as you recognize such beliefs as hunches or hypothertical possibilities. Before Jacob flipped I'd have pointed to him as an example of someone who compartmentalized quite effectively, allowing him to think about and apply science independently from his religious beliefs.

The conspiracy theorists and crackpot philosophers who think their atheism lends credence to their oddball beliefs are definitely annoying.
