Those choices are a little cynical. Certainly some bearing the banner of 'skeptic' fit each of the poll choices. I would add another in the same vein: fed up with being told stuff that is not true.

Can't blame them really. Watch the TV show 'Criss Angel'. He does stuff that on par with this. I know some of it is tricks (stage magic) and some of it is years of physical and mental conditioning. The 'problem' is that he weaves them together purposely so that you don't know where one ends and the other begins. On top of that, virtually every movie and many TV shows use special effects that are near impossible to spot. In addition to not being able to believe what you hear, can't really believe much of what you see either.
I am a believer AND a skeptic. I don't believe most of what I am told. I always check out a new idea before adopting it for my own. I know a lot of people just make stuff up. I not indicating any malice here, just naivety and ignorance. On top of that, my truth is not the same as for anyone else. Makes one question if anyone actually knows anything. Even though I am virtually certain that everything I know is wrong, its the best I got and it helps me get through the day here on Earth.
