What is wrong with skepticism? Should I also believe in Scientology? They swear up and down that thetans are reality. What about those that claim unicorns exist? Nessy? Bigfoot? Witches?
When you make a claim, it isnt the listener's job to believe you. It is your job to convince them with tangible evidence. Personal anecdote is not reliable source at all.
If I used your criteria then all religions would be, by definition, true. So would aliens, Atlantis, the boogieman, etc.

Being skeptic is fine. Hell I was skeptic as hell until about 6 yrs ago. Im not saying that you shouldn't be skeptical, im saying don't tell me im using the wrong word when talking solely about me if its you that needs the proof. I don't need to have faith in a higher power since I have already seen that there are higher powers at work based on the paranormal experience I had years ago. I BELIEVE in a higher power because proof was already presented to me. Personal experience is the best source when it comes to myself considering it was my own eyes that witnessed the events and is all I need for myself to believe it. based on your own definitions I do not have faith in a higher power I believe in one.
And I never told you to believe in anything. In fact it is you who is telling everyone else that what they believe is not right. Im not trying to make you believe in anything im telling you its not up to you what anyone believes no matter what definition you wanna use for either word.
