Ruckus

"These clichés perpetuate harmful ideas about..."

"Here we go. This just reflects what happens in reality. It tells no one what to do or what to think. Do you want to censor them? Huh? Do you want to tell them what they can or can't say! Nazi"

"I just said..."

"Don't say anything! Just watch silently instead of making ruckus after ruckus over everyday stuff!"

"I am a balanced person because I'm a Libra."

"Oh, no! I will not shut up about this! They're perpetuating harmful ideas!"

Contrary evidence

"I believe humans are rational creatures and will change their ideas if presented with scientific evidence that they are wrong."

"There studies say otherwise."

"Bah! Those studies are rubbish."

Ouija

"Look! It's moving! It must be spirits! Or demons!"

"Or unconscious muscular movements."

"There's no such thing!"

Skepticism

"I am closed minded? You are the one who refuses to have your beliefs challenged. You only read things that reinforce your previous ideas. It'd do you well to check once in a while one of these skeptical blogs that...What the hell is this article? This is not what skepticism is supposed to be about! I'm so removing this blog from my favorites right now!"

Neutrinos

"Specialists are skeptical of the news about faster than light neutrinos."

"Of course! Scientists will reject anything that challenges their cherished dogmas!"

Some time later...

"Specialists have found that the speed of the neutrinos was not properly measured."

"Of course! Scientists are always making up spectacular findings to get grants!"

Influence

"The Moon causes tides in the ocean, and human beings are mostly water. So, it makes sense to claim that planets have an effect on our luck."

"But tides are a side effect of gravity, which is a property of every object with mass, not just planets. Right now this table is exerting on us a tidal force much greater than the Moon's."

"It's scientific!"

Lucky table. $1,999.95

Cryptids

"Skeptics dismiss them as myth. Nothing but delusion and make-believe. But we know they're real!"

• Bigfoot


• Chupacabras


• Sea serpent


• Uppity professor who claims science knows everything

Eternal reward

"This is Heaven? A huge empty parking lot? I expected something else."

"It is a glorious place of gardens and palaces. It just happens to have the external attributes of a parking lot. How come everyone who comes here is so skeptical?"

Detector

"Since you will only believe in what can be detected and measured, check this out. This instrument registers physiological reactions related to the fact of being offended, giving an objective, scientific assessment of the reliability of beliefs."

"The premise is invalid. Your being offended because your beliefs are being questioned doesn't make those beliefs true."

DING

"Gotcha!"

Proof

"You just saw how a molecule of fuel diluted in five hundred liters of water can put out fire successfully. Do you still think that the theory behind homeopathy is bunk?"

Calm

"Ok, darling, let me tell you a little something. I understand what you're telling me about "evidence" and "scientific method". What I know, however, is that teachings of Guru Sanalachankla about the universe and the self have made me a very serene person and filled me with spiritual peace. And someone who doesn't know the first thing about them won't tell me won't tell me that tye are wrong! IS THAT CLEAR?"

"Perfectly."

Sightings

"Have you ever seen an alien spacecraft?"

"Have you ever seen an unidentified flying object?"

"Have you ever seen strange lights in the sky?"

"Have you ever seen anything unusual when looking up?"

"People who have had a sighting experience"

"How can skeptics keep doubting the reality of alien visits in the face of the testimony of so many eyewitnesses?"

Reality

"How can you be so stubborn? It's quantum physics that says we create our own reality with our thoughts. It's a scientific fact!"

"In that case, why do you bother trying to convince me? Just create a reality where I believe you."

"Bu— but... It doesn't work that way!"

"Well, create a reality where it does work that way."

"Bah! You're impossible!"

"Have you arrived to a reality where you can't hear me yet?"

"SHUT UP!"

Treatment

"Still sick? Didn't you see the naturopath I talked to you about?"

"I did. He gave a prescription and told me that, if it didn't cure me, at least it wouldn't harm me."

"So? What happened?"

"He got upset when I replied that, if I didn't pay to him, at least I wouldn't ask him money."

Semantics

What do you mean you don't know James Randi?

"This is not what I had in mind."

"Look, I just showed you that I can read thoughts, didn't I? Now stop making excuses and cough up that million already."

"Look! Up in the sky!"

"It's a bird!"

"It's a meteorite!"

"It's a weather balloon!"

"It's swamp gas!"

No! Until proven otherwise, it is...

NONZERO

Skeptic

"Yeah, whatever. I still don't believe in it."

"What about those who do believe and even went through it? Are they all crazy?"

"No. Just self-deluded."

"You're saying that because you didn't experience it yourself."

"Discussing religion? Supernatural stuff?"

"Marriage."

"People have been doing it for millennia. There must be something to it, no?"
