“Apparently, if you're a believer, having faith is all about being able to believe the most patently ridiculous things, and not be criticized or ridiculed for it. If an atheist wants people to believe in something, they need evidence to back it up and any test results must be capable of duplication.”

-- Dean Van Drasek

Why do we celebrate credulity and disparage skepticism? Why, in the marketplace of superstitious ideas, is it a seller’s market, not a buyer’s market? And how does this benefit anyone other than the seller?

It’s not open minded to accept ideas uncritically. It’s not closed minded to ask you to back up your idea before others accept it.

And vice versa.
