Not on the level of the things being discussed in this thread, you don't!

I mean seriously, look at what's going on here: apparently rational people are saying they would believe in vampires, talking cows and orbital mind control lasers on the unsupported word of an authority figure. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked, human nature being what it is, but still.

I'd believe in anything up to orbiting vampire cows, but beyond that I'd be sceptical.
