Belief or Skepticism/The Deciding Factor

Mystique · 01-25-2010, 05:24 PM

Last night my husband asked me to show him proof of some of the topics I told him about. He is extremely skeptical about everything I tell him concerning ascension, PTB, aliens, secret space projects, etc. He wanted to debate several issues but I told him I did not wish to engage in a debate with him unless he read or at least perused some of the material I had researched.

I told him that we really didn't have a basis for debate because he was unprepared. Now that set him back because he loves to debate and felt sure he had an easy victory.

He is a CPA, an accountant, and I told him I would never debate him about tax law, because I had not studied all the new tax laws and was not on the same knowledge level as he. Therefore, even if I couldn't show him instantaneous hard copy proof of my topics, I didn't think he was at the same knowledge level as I was on concerning this particular subject. I have logged hours upon hours of study for over 11 months. (and I'm a newbie)

I realized that some of it is "pure gut feeling", intuition, leap of faith, and a strong belief of correlating stories told by many whistle-blowers or witnesses. I certainly don't believe everything I've heard, I feel I am discerning, but what makes us a believer?

My question to you is what is your deciding factor on which of any of these
theories are true? What makes us trust some, but not others? Belief or Skepticism?
