you first have to acknowledge your skeptical nature but then ignore it temporarily

Why? Other sciences don't work like that, even within the speculative range. One of the nice things about scientific proof is that it aims to even get the skeptics on board. Any time you're made to surrender your sense of reason is dangerous, and a gateway even towards cult-like doctrines without needing any basis of proof to follow that path. 

"As soon as you discard scientific rigor, you're no longer a mathematician (a logician), you're a numerologist (a magical thinker)." 

because thats how it works:p if you cant handle not questioning it and trying something new then thats your own deal im just telling you how it works

But your "mystic book" supposedly supports my being a skeptic, and if it's all a load of huey then I have even more reason to argue against it. There's tons of source material that debunks this madness. 

Your own method is supporting me in one way or another. To doubt my skepticism is to also doubt what your reading was on me. It's a bit of a Catch 22. 

it is saying do what makes you feel safe and adds good things and length to your life. thats what the reading told you. tarot does not open itself to those who choose not to believe in it or require or force anyone to:)

It's literally in the lessons for Tarot to make shit up. You'd get just as much useful data out of an imaginative five year old (less even). 

sorry but you'll never win cuz it has worked for me so many times and i like it lol. also like i mentioned i dont consider myself especially good at reading for others or predicting the future especially far sighted future

You can't prove it, therefor you can't win as the burden of proof is on you. 

 Ya i did win sorry lol, I dont have to prove shit or convince you of anything like i said Tarot doesnt open itself to those who choose not to believe in it

I suppose you "win" the same way layman's religious types do then (unfalsifiability fallacies). 

ya the same way you win with astrology by selectively seeing patterns in people that are actually in everyone but you magnify and exaggerate them to match your beliefs:p schizopants

it has nothing to do with religion it has to do with intuition and the subconscious mind and meditating and symbols and cause and effect

here i just pulled a card for more advice for you on the subject Turncoat: (and no i did not specifically seek it out it was selected by which card jumped out when i was shuffling facedown because that is my preferred method)

see? The tarot supports you in you doing what you want to do as long as its for you highest good and greatest joy (at least thats the specific intention I invoke before choosing cards). and it probably knows that you arent compatible with reading it for yourself because you have too much of a skeptical nature and it isnt going to force you to change your skeptical nature because its probably in your best interest  and part of your life purpose to have the skeptical nature that you do:)

and btw i DIVINED/PREDICTED that you were going to bitch about spirituality in this thread at the beginning of it did i not:p i didnt use or need the cards to predict that tho lol

on my life, i did NOT pick that card knowing already what it was going to say actually I have only used this deck a few times and im not familiar with most of the booklet faerietales and advice is on this deck. but every time i have pulled from it i have really enjoyed the messages

oh and btw if I had as skeptical of a nature as you I would be suicidal TC, i know because I've tried it before to be like strictly atheist and proven mainstream science only and it made me suicidal so it is not in my best interest to be that skeptical
