The problem with skeptics is that they stop being skeptic at an arbitrary point.
It's ok not believing blindly in stories about ghosts, for example. But when a "rational" explanation for it comes, you should be skeptic of it too. Never stop questioning, specially questioning your own beliefs of having understood something completely.
There's the classical skepticism about God the creator. The "childlike fairy tale" of average-IQ christians is surely something to be skeptical about. But do you become suddenly satisfied with your understanding when you learn about the big bang? There's so much more to ask, and the possible answers open space to new "futurelly scientific" explanations that could include even ghosts and reincarnations. When the question of "why/how does something exist, instead of nothing" is met with "there's a probability of something existing, so it does" (or similar) and you are SATISFIED with that, you are just lazy. Question every answer that you come up with.
The "I know everything that is knowable" egocentrism of average atheists is pityful.
>futurelly
out, sorry senpai
time dilation after the big bang is known, yet retarded astrophysicists imply things beyond the scope with dating the age of the universe without accounting for the dilation.
It doesn't matter what you believe, it matters how you'll be judged, and that has nothing to do with what you believe.

People judge for what you believe in.
I see your point tough and I also think that it's wrong.

No one knows how they'll be judged, thus whatever beliefs they own do not factor into it.
Things matter, this isn't nihilism, but worrying or spending an egregious amount of interest thinking about beliefs, what you believe, what anyone should or shouldn't believe, or what I believe is ridiculous. If you're needed, you'll be made to believe what is needed of you to believe. If you believe what someone else needed you to believe, then your prior beliefs never accounted into it.
belief has nothing to do with it.

This is pretty much 100% how I think and feel about it, too, OP.
