I strongly agree with betty boop that skepticism is an ideology - I assert that the ideology is metaphysical naturalism as b_sharp's Sagan list would also suggest.
And much like my list of "types" of "knowledge" and valuations of certainties begins with Spiritual understanding - the skeptic list would surely come with that materialist prejudice from the very top.
That is probably why it is both futile and frustrating for correspondents to try to argue with me using the logical tools of metaphysical naturalism. They probably believe they are being quite intellectual and logical - but to me, they appear tunnel-visioned and uninformed. LOLOL!
The bottom line is that there are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers to the question posed by this thread. We only wish to get to know one another better.
True..
It seems it all started at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil(right and wrong)[in Genesis].. and has grown progressively worse ever since.. If we would Not have touched that damned tree... Oh! well we did.. That tree produced TWO smart alecks as progenitors.. and this thread displays that in spades.. Nice work... We are ALL guilty.. LoL...
