Tom B Posted March 26, 2011 #27 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I hope it's the last thread as well but I doubt it... Too many "believers" take it very personally when their "beliefs" are questioned or countered. Hey, if we didn't have skeptical people we wouldn't make any progress. No one would have questioned what caused disease. We would still be sacrificing people or animals to stop it. No one would have questioned any politicians. No one would have questioned the idea that there were men on Mars. Well, you get the idea. Skeptic doesn't mean that we don't believe anything. It means that we don't believe with out question. Nibs You make "believers" to sound like gullible apes. Just because some one believes in ghosts / shadow entities doesn't mean they go to youtube and marvel at all the ghost videos. Most believers are very skeptical of all things, especially ghosts. Yes, reread that last sentence. I am a believer but I question everything, I don't accept a noise without looking for all possible answers. Believers also like watching how they debunk ghost sightings and videos. We have brains you know, we process things like everyone else. If you look at my other posts in other topics you will see that I try to deduce whats going on before resorting to "its a ghost!". Take for instance the lady with the red orb in the video. I went straight in and asking about electrical devices that could be in the room, to take pictures during the day so we can see whats in the room. Believers try to sort it out and make sense of it all, not just put on a blindfold and accept everything as paranormal. I really enjoy my time here and I really enjoy the colorful people here that post everyday, but sometimes I feel like you guys really don't know who we are, its easy to just label someone and thats it. Look a little deeper please. /cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long_Gone Posted March 26, 2011 #34 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I am never going to understand this skeptic vs believer thing but Which believer is not skeptical?. or at least every believer should be skeptical. I think a lot of 'believers' were skeptical and asked questions before believing in something. It's not like they woke up some day and said "I'm gonna be a believer, I'm not gonna ask any questions". Not believers all are close minded. There are different types of believers, Some believe in ET visitation but are skeptical about ghosts. Some believe in both. Some only believe in cryptids. There are different kinds of people. Simple skepticism vs believerism argument is just silly. just to make it clear, I don't believe in ghosts or we're being visited by space aliens. Who's right, who's wrong, that really doesn't matter. Everybody should be skeptical, even a believer. I hope i made any kind of sense.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingAngel Posted March 26, 2011 #35 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Everyone has a certain degree of skeptic/belief There's a difference betweens a believer and a complete naive I think science and education deserve more credit. Skeptic simply mean "see and believe". Being skeptic is nothing without science and education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MstrMsn Posted June 3, 2011 #39 Share Posted June 3, 2011 What many people seem to not grasp here... There is a difference between believers and "believers". "Believers" are those that actually buy what someone says, with absolutely nothing to back it up, like "so, there I was in my kitchen, and all of a sudden, my cabinet doors opened and all my dishes were piled on the table" or "I went down into the basement to grab something I have stored down there, and I heard all these strange voices, I couldn't explain it. I would have asked my neighbor who lives on the first floor, but she was having a party...." Then you have other believers that when they hear stuff like this, they ask if any pictures were taken, and if so, still don't out right believe it, because the person could have done it themselves. Nor would they buy the guy hearing voices. They actually hold you to providing some actual evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Dangerously Posted June 3, 2011 #40 Share Posted June 3, 2011 A skeptic is just a believer who hasn't had a paranormal experience yet! Actually, most skeptics have had a paranormal experience. And in the search for an explanation, we have come to discover that people will claim to have the answers to everything, but can't ever back up what they claim as knowledge with anything but anecdotes. Skeptics have been around the block and seen some things and that is what makes us skeptical. Believers see something, hear one explanation and can't wait to blow other peoples minds with the sagely advise that they heard once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ai_guardian Posted June 5, 2011 #42 Share Posted June 5, 2011 A skeptic is just a believer who hasn't had a paranormal experience yet! And by that same token, believers are skeptics, skeptical of any down-to-earth, reality-laden explanations and imo, more than viable explanations that may shatter their beliefs that are anything but down-to-earth and reality-laden. BTW, I have had plenty of what you would term 'paranormal' experiences but I don't stop at the most unlikely of explanations, nor do I give them as much weight as the more likely reality grounded ones.
