A true skeptic is a non believer. Most are really *anti* believers no different from their opposition, neither of which closely examines beliefs and both of which bolsters them with exclusion of all that doesn't apply. ode At 06:06 PM 6/21/2010 -0400, you wrote: You put it directly, I

You might state that you enjoy it, but you don't actually *listen* to any of it though! The only opinion you seem to take any notice of is your own, or someone who agrees with you. That doesn't strike me as being open minded. dee On 21 Jun 2010, at 23:56, bodhisattva wrote: This isn't

I think this is ridiculous. To be a sceptic means to question things, not to dismiss things out of hand. I question things--which means everything I'm told, and then if it turns out to be true or correct, then I will take it on board. This is the opposite of blindly following what you are

You put it directly, I said the same thing nicely. Basically, skeptics are 'dead energy', nothing moves either way, nothing happens. Jane MacRoss wrote: I have found skeptics to be basically fence sitters which means they are usually pains in the A*se whereas I walk a razor's edged path so

Jane My answer to that is jump off the razor edge on the side of proven protocol and give your feet a rest. Of course looking on the other side to see if you missed anything good now and then should be less perplexing. I don't even look anymore, If I hadn't seen anything in the past 75 years it

This isn't relevant at all, since I clearly state - I ENJOY inquiry and investigation, and encourage it. That's healthy, but that's not skepticism, which is not careful, rational, and intuitive study/investigation/exploration/trial, but an extreme of such to the point that outcomes are often
