not a skeptic

In the past several years, i've moved away from a lot of the fringe stuff that i loved in my youth, because it bugs me that established, verified science is dismissed. I'm not really a skeptic, but i align myself with them because i fear the mad dogma of religious zealots.

Nope. No great essay or confession. It's just that i was hanging out with my friend Damien the other night, discussing agnosticism, atheism, fundamentalists, science, and phenomenon that seem to be beyond the explanation of currently accepted conventional science, to realize that i've straitjacketed myself in a sense.

I'll try to explain this better in the weeks to come, to reason out some reconciliation my affinity for obviously batshit insane fringe stories with rejection of both organized relgion and New Age quackery.
