I may have been born a skeptic

to the best of my reckoning  --  I did ask my parents in kind if my memory served me correctly  that for among our dense immediate family  I say dense only because we shared a one and a half bath house among eleven  --  to the best of my reckoning I was the only child who displayed a pyrotechnic proclivity to challenge authority

                                                                                                                                                           any authority  

a birth defect

  

accursed

perhaps it accounted for my belligerence my questions deemed argumentative despite it not being my intent to argue

I asked a question  with the assumption that if the other answered it I might better understand their reasoning and thereby it would help clarify their position

they immediately and curtly took a defensive posture

I naturally assume a thoughtful person would be grateful for a question asked of them on the slim chance that it had not occurred to them  --  therefore the thin web of possibility or ignorance they may have looked through  the light inconsiderate  unable to see it correctly  rendered transparent  --  if tilted slightly  it might be made apparent    revealed

Why would such a question be reviled

      Lets play a game of Realism

                                                       “(It) believes in the possibility of distinguishing in Politics between(wait for it!)

Truth and Opinion  --  between what is true objectively and rationally, supported by evidence and illuminated by reason, and what is only a subjective judgment divorced from fact as they are and informed by prejudice and wishful thinking*(Smells like Republican Spirit(my apologeezs to Nirvana))”

playing said Realism also had him on the other side of the coin in regards to the inerrant Word of the Bible or any religious book or professed dogma

inerrant was just another word for perfect

he couldnt help but consider that something that is perfect cant be recognised by imperfect human beings

they would be excluded to consider by their imperfection alone

flawed cannot recognise flawless

it hasnt the capacity

thus the heavy burden of skepticism   and for the skeptic

he was a born skeptic
