One thing you will learn here over time, if you know something to be absolutely true and real, is the power of skepticism and disbelief to harden the mind blind the eyes. You will also learn about the unbelievable and herculean effort to suppress truth. This effort goes way beyond conspiracy friends. There is a very real goal to blind you by those that live in the shadows via a façade, to keep you in the foyer, hypnotized by ambiance, herded by tools and useful idiots.

If your belief can survive any skeptical inquires then it is most probably the truth or as close to it as you can get. So what you said makes no sense.

That is simply a logical fallacy. It assumes that anything under the heading of skepticism is trying to push an issue to truth. Skepticism has a yin and yang just like anything else. Any good skeptic should know that.

I have not denied anything that you have said really. In a large way you are preaching to the choir. However if you are going to deny that skepticism is not the answer to all things, that it doesn't have an infallible formula, that skepticism is often subjective, that skepticism can simply be an excuse to shield the mind, that good research and skepticism are not synonymous then you are not really being skeptical but having cognitive difficulties.

Skepticism is a tool. One must use it wisely and not let it rule the mind.
