Do you think any of the following are true:
god, spirits, karma, extra-terrestials, reincarnation, UFOs, soul, ghosts,
angels, demons, premonitions? -

If you can say NO with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY to every single one:

Book

Why do People
Believe Weird Things
by
Michael Shermer

(My answer: because we beLIEve)

This is a great book to open the mind to skeptical thinking. But there is a fine line between being a skeptic,  accepting what may be the truth, and keeping your mind open despite uncertainty. I read this in 2000 and it changed my life. I won't read it again, but I wonder how I would look at it
with my new viewpoint.

Magazine

Skeptical Inquirer
Magazine

After I read that book above, I started a subscription to this magazine for a couple of years. I even attended an event in Los Angeles. It is well written, but in the end I knew needed to go see the world for myself, through my own eyes. That and read a lot more books in other fields of study.
This website is what I found, and what "found me."
