Heh! Heh! Lovely, freda. I have compassion for skepticaemaniacs, but I have little mercy on them, and it drives them to fits of denial and absoluticism which are indeed chilling to behold. Skepticaemaniacs love the security of a world where there is already an established and unbreakable rule for absolutely everything. They are extremely at home in any powerful authority system, such as: any fundamentalist church, any exclusive club with rigorous membership requirements, the police force, the armed forces, the science establishment, the engineers' faculty in any university, the AMA or any other mainstream medical organization, political party bureaucracies, the IRS, the FBI, the CIA, and motorcycle gangs. They are the primary force constipating the creative brain of humanity, and standing in the way of human liberation from the superstitions and idiocies of the past.

They are often quite pessimistic regarding basic human nature...whether or not they see it in religious terms. Some do, some don't.

They executed some of the most brilliant scientists, prophets, and philosophers in history for rocking the boat by suggesting new ideas. They forced others to recant what later was proven to be entirely correct. They are as predictable as the sunrise, but a lot less desirable in their effect.
