|  |  | | Skepticism is prevalent in this day and age. People are often skeptical about how honest others are, the reliability of political figures, and especially religious claims. This skeptical posture is taken regarding the Christian faith too. In fact, skepticism is so strong that many doubt that Jesus Christ could be the only Savior or that the Bible is a reliable source for knowing God.
While being skeptical can be a healthy investigative tactic it is not a good goal. Truth needs to be our goal and skepticism can serve this when properly implemented. However, simply being skeptical is often counterproductive to quality thought. Therefore, it is important to understand the skeptic mindset, discover its good and poor natures, and understand its limitations.
