Skepticism Is Hard Work

Friday, June 6th, 2008

I have to laugh at skeptics. I completely respect anyone’s opinion, whether I agree with it or not, I just think it’s funny how some people will try to use weak logic to support the fact that there’s nothing to life beyond the mundane.

In most cases, people who are willing to roll their eyes at the mention of anything “paranormal” have absolutely zero research to support their position. Interestingly, people who do believe in a world that crosses beyond the the drab reality portrayed in the mainstream often have facts, data, and research backing their beliefs.

It must be really hard work stayign so closed minded. Miracles happen all around us every day, and I suspect closing one’s mind to this fact is not easy; it’s likely the cause of all the stress related trauma in the “developed” world.

At this stage in my life I don’t feel like I need to go out of my way to avoid making somebody uncomfortable. This doesn’t mean I’m going out looking for a fight, but I no longer care if the judgmental christian is upset when I talk openly about my views on God (for example).

The world is changing around us and it’s happening fast. There are theories as to what is behind the major shift in consciousness we are currently enjoying, but more important than the why is the simple fact that people are opening up to higher thought.

Twenty years from now things that skeptics balk at today will be commonly accepted. A truly wonderful world is right around the corner; a world where we don’t try to squash the imagination from our children so they fit in at pre-school.

We may now be tolerating the last generation of ultra-obtuse skeptics. In the years haead it’s just gong to be too darn hard to stick your head in the sand and pretend the world is a drab, “normal” place to live. :)
