70. Because it keeps you drones nicely dumb and docile for when my faction takes over the world. I can't go into details here, but it involves the UN and the illuminati.

ZING!

Because I made a pact with the stylized Christian Devil in which I would dedicate my life to telling Christians what is actually out there. Thus doing the devil's evil bidding.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

75. Because I like making long lists of why I am the way I am.

Edit:

filthy, can you please explain the boomerang one? I really don't get it. Or was it just being random?

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Boomerangs have an interesting history, but
today, they are little more than toys. They have a certain areodymanic that, when cast properly, will cause them to return almost to the hand of the thrower. The fascinating thing about this is that the areodynamic was discovered by ancient, Australian aborigines.

76. I could never catch that snipe.

Yes, but what does that have to do with the reason you are a skeptic?

I was lied to about boomerangs. All of them're supposed to come back, but don't. Perfectly obvious.

I lost my faith in Jimmy Swaggert.

78. Without sin, I can do whatever the hell I want.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.
