Excellent piece from @TheMadSkeptic on online #skepticism, #FTBullies and abusive behavior. http://bit.ly/NsiVya

@PhilosophyExp@TheMadSkeptic I like the piece, but not the use of "Skeptic". The people noted in the piece conflate skepticism w/atheism.
@badrescher @TheMadSkeptic In my book, many of the FtB bloggers aren't any sort of skeptics (albeit many of them are atheists).

@PhilosophyExp@TheMadSkeptic Exactly my thoughts. Are you sure you're not psychic? I know where we could make some cash w/this. ;) -
@badrescher@TheMadSkeptic Ha. I did once have a very odd "psychic" experience (not that I believe in such things, but it was very odd). -
@PhilosophyExp@TheMadSkeptic Had a few myself.#theoddsmustbecrazy -
@badrescher@TheMadSkeptic I'm not convinced by the probability argument. I think it fails to account for the *nature* of the experience. -
@PhilosophyExp@TheMadSkeptic Oh, I think I'm pretty good about discussing that, too. I hope so, anyway. -
@badrescher@TheMadSkeptic Cool. If we ever meet in the real world, I'll tell you about it. Too involved for twitter! -
@PhilosophyExp But@oddsmustbecrazy is the handle for a website that documents such stories... http://theoddsmustbecrazy.com -
@badrescher@oddsmustbecrazy Ooh, I didn't know that. Not so psychic after all! :) I'll check it out.

@PhilosophyExp@badrescher I agree. There is some conflation. However,I believe skepticism leads to agnosticism or atheism. -
@TheMadSkeptic@PhilosophyExp Well, I've written lots on what I think is wrong w/promoting that view as truth rather than personal belief.
