Modern skepticism is an approach to life that demands
evidence and reason for beliefs and practices. Skeptics may be best known for
debunking stories of the paranormal — like ghosts, psychics, UFOs, Bigfoot, and the Bermuda
Triangle — and of pseudosciences, such as alternative medicine and creationism.
But skepticism can be
beneficially applied to all human experience from the mundane to the
profound.

believers and charlatans alike. Here's what skeptics can say to dispense
with these bogus points.
