And a true believer is equally guilty of embracing the most irrelevent absurdity as proof of his own pet theories. It's what I must imagine an argument between warring Bill O'Reilly's must be like.Cullan Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465098080944236025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298146418545213171.post-60392753163080449932011-07-08T00:14:20.577-05:002011-07-08T00:14:20.577-05:00I like the idea of taking a critical look at skept...I like the idea of taking a critical look at skepticism as much as I enjoy being unbiased on claims of the paranormal. Too often, both sides have an "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude.
