Thats exactly the problem friend... a world of logic and reason, where values feelings and moral code have been replaced for laws and logical conclusions.. and we all know, that logic is good to solve an equation, and not matters of the heart. Hence today's world... not that it could have been any other way, this time round, but just sayin...
don't come preaching to us to use logic n reason.. we know very well what they entail.
Smile always friend.

You keep pointing to that list, but I'm not sure if you know what is in there. If you go through those videos, there are several that support the skeptic's perspective.

Of course. I know.
Not all the files are real.
Many are hoaxes, swamp gas, lights aberrations, mass allucinations or other.
But IF ONLY ONE OF THE TONS of that files IS REAL THEN.....

I have not read the entire thread so apologies there, but i feel i should say that my views have changed over the years largely because of this site. I used to believe in a lot more than what i do now, maybe i have grown up a bit. I am now a lot more skeptical of what is being presented and sadly of the things from the past that got me hooked on the subjects in the first place. I still dont have any answers and cannot entirely rule some things out, but i can see why they are not likely or even plausible and in some circumstances just not true.

I think if you wish to be a true believer you are also have to be the harshest skeptic. By eliminating everything that is ambiguous, possible faked, non credible, etc you can sift through the remaining credible evidence and come to a firm decision.
It is easy to fall for any piece of evidence, making you jump immediately to believing. But I don't know if that is truly believing because I don't think your 100% convinced at this point yourself.
If you sift through only credible evidence you may (I know I did) find that the evidence is strong enough to fully convince your mind. At this point I think you are a true believer.
However, you have to always be ready to weigh in your conclusions from time to time, make sure all the evidence is still solid, and there's no more to find.
