I stated that belief/faith is not a product of rational thought.

Skeptics are the mirror image of those who believe without evidence...neither approach the subject scientifically. To both, their belief is a matter of faith and/or desire...and not the product of rational thought. 

I'm a skeptic and it has nothing to do with a belief system or "faith" or "desire". When the kook fringies make their insane claims, I and the other "naysayers" question them and easily take them apart with nothing but common sense and rationality, which the True Believers would try, in typical leftist fashion, to demonize.

Oh, you have evidence?

Yeah, right. LOL. Are your statements on this thread an example of said taking them apart?

I'm not a believer or a skeptic...but if I were a skeptic, I would be embarrassed by your work above.

Faith and common sense are opposites
