Well now, how to start this ?

Welcome to the Teenage Skeptical Believers [of DOOM ]. This is for us teens who are skeptical believers ; those who don't fall into the skeptic or beleiver category . Yah, I've gotten some PM's from other teen SB's who've said that they've not been listened to and feel dejected (it also touched me that they talked to me ), so here we are!!!



TSB[OD]!!!

I wish your club the very best!

Even if I think the name "Skeptical Believers" is a little misleading. After all, since there is nothing forbidden about believing, as long as you understand that it is not logically supported, there is no conflict with skepticism.

Thanks for the encouragement!!!

if you have friendship with us uppity's, and my owner allows me on wednesdays, i shall help you with your woes.

[again]

Oh, and for us teens, post here if ya wanna join.

Hey cor-raven here, might wanna, whats the club deal anyway?


I believe that its is possible for cetain urealible facts to not be believed under any and all fish

If you mean restricts and all, just add the name to your sig [e.g. "Member of the Teenage Skeptical Believers of DOOM"], but you can change it around if ya want. Ages are simply 7th grade- college sophmore.

Just make a name for us out there, so UM knows we're not just these little "kids."

I will be

Welcome to da club

Gotta have fun, eh???

I'm a teenage Skeptical Believer. I like how aquatus1 praised the club, how a few words can be worth a million dollars.

I'd like to join, but I am unfortunatly in another club . If we are to have these clubs, I really wish that so many more would get involved and people would be more pro-active. Wouldn't it be funny, people can learn a lot in a very big debate .

HOLLERZ LOLLERZ!!!!!

A club that doesnt allow adults? I dont see why thats very fair, considering the adults dont mind letting the us join their clubs. If our input is being ignored its probably because its ridiculous, I dont think it has to do with the fact that we are teenagers.

But hell, I hope this club goes as well as any other.

that is awfully well put, M. Aquatus.

Uhhhhhh then what should it be called???

The reason that it's for teens is cuz that a lot of UM members dont give us very much credit and kinda push us aside with comments like "kid" and "little." That's why I created this- we're not just kids!!!!!!!

Oh, and when you become a member and then you're too old, you can still be part of it as a Senior Member if ya want, or make another flashly kewl title for yourself

Ouch, yes, that must have stung quite a bit.

Don't let it get to you too much. It is, unfortunately, part of being a skeptic. The disadvantage of living a life not based on logical outlooks and credible arguments is that, when pressed to a corner, the only response is to lash out with the single biggest show of lack of imagination: the insult. A skeptics, we tend to have a bit of an aggressive stance on logic, and people often mistake that as an attack on their personal beliefs and, often, you will find yourself called anything from close-minded, to unbeliever, to ignorant, and yes, even...kid!

Chin up, now! Skepticism is not a dirty word, and those who practice it are not social outcasts. Remain civil, reasonable, and ignore insults, no matter how personal, no matter how incorrect, nor matter how pointed. Ours is not the way of argument, but debate. Ours is not the way of disproving, but of verifying. Ours is not the way of preaching, but of teaching.

Pardon me for speaking like this, but you are at the perfect age to take up the heavy burden of the skeptic. Your youth gives vigor to a methodology too often associated with the older and cynical. Never be ashamed of your youth, accept it, and remember, in the words of (ironically enough) Paul, (I Cor 13:11) Leave the immaturity to others. You are growing into manhood, and such things are best put away.

Yes.........

But, though it may not seem liek it, the only thing that I'm really a believer on is God/Jesus and psi . If you've read some of my topics in cryptozoology, then you'd see how I'm like the "nope not real" person there

But when I join ya guys there are some things I believe in....... kk???

I only believe in chupa

But i don't believe in anything else

like toliet paper for instance

Oh.

My.

Gawd.

This is quite ridiculous..... what happens when you all grow out of your teens?

Go on, have your fun

Ya. I don't entirely get why a "teenagers" skeptical believers club. Just skeptical believers club is good enough, no?

Any one can jion

but do any adults want to act like teen agers

if they do there welcome

Act like teenagers? What do you mean, like stupid, silly, crazy, immature, whiney? I'm not calling teenagers any of that, but I just don't get it.

I really don't get this.

Theres already a skeptical-beleiver thread.

I hardly see how you need one specifically for teenagers.

i can see the utility of this thread...teanagers want somethig to call there own. The whole psych of a teen is 'if the parents or (elders) do it.. it is no longer cool to talk about'..teenagers just want something to call there own. so............should we just say ..i believe in this....or i dont believe in this....so on etc....
i am sort of confused on the whole idea of being a skeptical believer ...dakong can you elaborate more

Theres already a skeptical beleivers thread though, and teenagers are members, just like how teens are members of the beleivers groups and skeptics groups.

Oh, how did this thread survive?

lol, I have thought that about many, many cult thread things.

it prolly wont ...*wheres burnside?*

Without a doubt not at work

i really like dakong as a friend, and i would really hate to see one of his threads BURNED TO THE GROUND
