Affirmations of the New Skepticism

Paul Kurtz – better known as the “father of skeptical humanism” – wrote the following affirmations for the back cover of the May/June 2009 issue of Skeptical Inquirer. Though I find some of the terminology less-than-perfect (particularly “believe”, which would read better as “affirm” or “assert”), the overall message is thought-provoking and well worth a read.
