The Joys of Skepticism

You may ask, "Isn't being a skeptic mean that you are critical and doubtful all the time?" I may answer, "No," and I do answer "No." Being a skeptic or practicing skepticism is actually quite fun because I can analyze topics that I have always interested me. But I can look at these topics rationally instead of ignorantly. It's time for the list-maker to make a list, an abridged version from the Skeptic's Dictionary.
