Quote:

Skeptics want to take all the fun and mystery out of life. They want to pull back the curtain and expose the mighty Wizard of Oz for the frightened fake that he is. They want to tell you that love is merely a collection of primal, biological urges, that Santa Claus does not exist; that a balloon crashed at Roswell and that mushrooms do not put you in touch with another realm, but merely disrupt your delicate neuronal chemistry.

Those bastards! Someone get a rope!

Huh? That's not what skeptics do! Skeptics ask for more evidence. Skeptics suggest that there might be alternative explanations. Extreme skeptics like myself might even question the notion of a "consensus reality."

You're confusing skeptics with scientists.

BTW, it's you're own bloody fault if you think that science takes the myster out of life.

The theoretical solution would be to hate racism, but not a racist, and to hate murder, but not the murderer.

Eh, you're still getting into the dialectics of hate here. You're fighting hate on it's own ground.

That's like starting a war against war.

If you'd stick around for awhile, you'll see the sarcasm in Swami's post here.
