to explain : for the believer in the "paranormal " there are many amongst which may be ,they have /are/do
had an experience that is out of the ordinary and wish to share it with others
are curious about possibilities of afterlife existence
realise that "science" does not have ALL the answers
but the skeptic and debunkers - WHAT drives them ?? after all IF the paranormal is all BS ,delusion , made up , whatever , WHY do they waste their lives posting so much vitriol ?? - surly any normal person would just dismiss them as weird and let them get on with it , do someone else's beliefs REALLY matter that much to them , that they NEED to somehow PROVE to the world that THEY are right ?? -or do they have some "mission" to protect all "right thinking " people from us nutters ??

are they afraid that a tide of "irrationality" ( in their eyes) is going to sweep the world - corrupting the children and , maybe, leaving them to actually ASK questions of accepted dogma and "perceived " wisdom , - or is this all part of an orchestrated campaign to "dumb down " the populous ( heck there's enough of that going on on TV now

and WHO are these people ?? - go to any forum and you will find virtually everyone hides behind a sudonim , here forinstance so far only myself and bill use our real names ( my apologies if there are others ) - and whilst i realise that some may wish to protect their identities for perfectly good reasons ,( in the case of those who "believe" fear of ridicule by friends,family and possibly work colleagues ) i do wonder if those who are so vehement in their skeptical beliefs should not at least have the guts to say who they really are - IF one is convinced in the rightness of ones arguments , why hide behind a name ??
may be its along the lines of those who have different sexual orientations - they FEAR ' coming out "

so my question to the SKEPTICS is simply this ?? - what IS it that drives you ?? - WHY do you care so much that some of us "believe " ?? , after all do you care so much if someone has faith in a particular GOD ?? - DO YOU spend hours on sites attacking THEIR beliefs ?? - when by the demonstrated standards of skeptical thinking , god has as much credibility as your average ghost - just what IS the difference in the "entities" and possibility of continuance of existence that we believe in ,to those postulated by many world religions ??
probably to be fair , some skeptics are as puzzled about us as we are about you - - but in this case I am asking the question
