Inconsistently Skeptical...
#5
RE: Inconsistently Skeptical...
Sometimes prior knowledge isn't actual knowledge. A very religous person accepts a variety of things as true, almost a priori, and from their point of view, an extraordinary claim is one that doesn't fit their religious beliefs. However, they also have ordinary prior knowledge, and a claim has to be consistent with that as well...unless it fits with their religious beliefs.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
