It is perfectly all right to be a skeptic.  It is a necessary stage we all go through in order to arrive to our final destination and purpose.  The most important thing is that you look for the answers within, not without.  Deep in your heart you always know what is the truth and what is not, what is real what is not, what is and what is not.  So, just enjoy being a skeptic, do not fight it, do it full-heartedly and have fun with it. And remember, it is merely your mind that is the skeptic. Your heart already knows the answers.

lol welcome CommonSense,
wow you have the most active introduction yet !
I echo the sentiments of others who welcome you and appreciate your views.
I believe that it is important for all of us to be challenged in our beliefs and we should question and re-evaluate instead of following a flock like mentality.

I agree also, there IS a whole lot of crap out there, sadly the garbage and nonsense tarnishes us all.

I believe in some things but not in others

welcome CommonSense, no better place for a skeptic ? atheist ? to be, then among people who do .in saying, i myself doubt and am skeptic of your skepticism. why would one of your nature subject yourself to such a place . if your own faith and belief were not questioned on a personal level   ( faith without works is dead)( we all believe in something) so i do understand at some level  . i to have my own doubt's and questions  ,but i do have a open mind   . i can quote examples all day long of why one should stay clear of  forums and thoughts that are presented here .   i hope you stay around for a while  and voice your opinions
