Pretend skepticism
June 18, 2017 at 2:25 am
If you ever watched one of those paranormal shows On The discovery channel you may know what I am talking about. The ghost hunters or psychics or whatever always pretend to be skeptical at first but then they set up there funny machines and suddenly everyone goes bonkers.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
