Two-headed cerberus, part 4: No room for improvement

Inherent in the us vs. them thinking of "Skeptics" and Christians is the idea that they have already arrived at their goal. "Christians" label themselves as the official Believers in Christ. Everybody else needs to get in touch with what Jesus expects of them, but Christians are already there.

Now, take this quote from a Skeptic:

"Sure. For any scammer, the vast majority in the audience has little ability to use logic. Logical people are skeptics. True believers don't look at facts and inference, but authority figures to decide what to believe. As long as the authority figure has an answer, any answer at all, to an objection, the true believer can not be budged."

"Skeptics" refer to themselves as "skeptics." Not as "people who advocate skepticism," or "people who try to be skeptical," but "Skeptics," people who already have an inherent tendency to exercise Goodthink in every aspect of their lives, completely different from the True Believers who haven't accepted the truth of Skepticism.
