There are times and places for skepticism and proofs; and there are times and places where skepticism and demands for proofs undermine both personal and communal integrity--- and so do not merit our respect or support. Skepticism and demands for proofs may be part of a comprehensive pattern of collusive games of mutual self deception, and only appear to be part of an effort to find the truth. Skepticism and demands for proofs may be cynical tools by which colluders try to avoid and repress the truths which they fear will undermine their collusive games of mutual self deception.
