half-skeptic? Half? I'll have you know PureEvil, that I am 100% skeptic... I just happen to realise the limitations on that particular mode of inquiry and (hopefully) avoid making a dogmatic ass of myself quite as much as some of the other skeptics...

And Darth. Cute example. I don't have a gun so you'll have to provide me with something else. Personally, what I'm really wondering is how you know the axiom:

"believing in something because you were told to, without having evidence is bad"

is true? You spit that out like it's some straight muthafuckin a priori shit, but I'd hoped that you'd recognise the incredible hypocrisy of your statement. Where's the evidence?
