I used to call myself an atheist but switched to agnostic since I don’t know for certain. My agnostic belief in a higher power is NOT the judgemental rule writing god of scripture. More of a default reason for enexplainable things in our universe. As science progresses there are less things where the higher power is needed.

But that’s just me.

I always told my parents when they were disappointed in me for ditching the “Faith”: I may be a bad Jew but I make every effort to be a good person.

These people have co-opted the work “skeptic”.

I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god’s role in my life, now I’m agnostic.

My parents became “skeptical” of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer “skeptical” but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.

I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find “proof” of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.

They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).

The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their “independent” researchers (crunchy influencers).
