And I own two Michael Shermer books. My mother has a Ph.D in microbiology. Her dad is a Ph.D biochemist and the chief scientist for a fortune 500 biomedical company. I consider myself "skeptical." But for the past 10 years I've been encountering "skeptics" that are nothing more than angry assholes who want so much to believe in a religion but their own rationality prevents them so they cling to "skepticism" as if it were papal doctrine. The only people who use the title "skeptic" are those who want to pick a fight. Enough of them have threatened bodily harm against those I love that I am entitled to my bias. "Skeptics" never politely disagree: they tell you why you're a fuckhead for not thinking like they do.
