Hello Skepbitch,

My name is Peterson Cekemp, you can call me Peterson. I read this post and loved it. I translated it into my blog – I see the pingback there, the comment #50. I kept the links and everything, put your name and etc. Is it allright?

Thanks

@ rationalzen, anyone who says honesty and reality are a buzzwords must give themselves hell for speaking at all.

Honesty isn’t reality. There are some that believe that theft is wrong, but don’t have a problem downloading shareware software without ever paying the author for his work even though they agreed to do so. There are many that believe that telling someone a white lie in order to not hurt their feelings isn’t being dishonest. There are some that believe that inflating your tax deductions isn’t dishonest and so it goes.

Honesty is relative to the person, nothing more.

Reality is also a buzz word, it’s relative to the person, the culture, the geography. What percentage of those terribly American Idol auditions come from people that believe in reality they are good singers/performers?

Reality is relative.

“We’re not all nerdy, sloppy, bespectacled, intellectually elitist, socially impaired, egotistical sycophants”

I resent this – I have perfect eyesight and am therefore entirely unbespectacled, thank you very much.

BismillaharRahmanirRahim

as-salaamu ‘alaikum. It is hard for me to relate because I have had a number of profound life experiences ranging from the birth of my children to the loss of my own life. And so much in between… its just hard to be a skeptic on things when you have been a witness to the miracles of our human experience.

I’m sure there was a time when I was a skeptic, in fact I know there was, however, there comes a time when one must develop some certainty about some things and I presume that comes with maturity throughout the development of our souls.

Scepticism is the opposite of gullibility.
