Being a skeptic means you are someone who is skeptical. It does not come with a membership to a club. Just because you dislike some other people who are skeptical, does not mean skeptics are bad and you need to stop being one. I am sure you dislike some people who wear pants too, but you continue to wear pants anyways.
All that said, his assessment of the people he dislikes is incredibly superficial and childish. What exactly was the point that you hoped to make by posting it?
- jgh 13y agoI think in this case he means something akin to Skeptic with a capital 'S'. Wherein they identify themselves as Skeptics in order to identify themselves as belonging to a particularly vocal group of people who are skeptical about religion and other super-natural stuff. It's the same reason I won't usually go around calling myself an Atheist, because while I am an atheist, I do not wish to be associated with the people who go around crying about every nativity scene or commandment stone that shows up in the public sphere. Granted I'm not about to go write a blog post listing my reasons for why I don't identify with the more vocal group of Atheists/Skeptics.
