Somebody please tell me why skeptics need to preach beyond their choirs?

Not sure. I don't think it's just skeptics. I think it's identity and wanting to defend something that is taken as self. That if it's wrong what you are saying, it will be like losing your hand or something. But I usually see curiosity in the skeptics sermons. And also, I imagine if something is really actually true or experience-able it would stand up to it all, or fit together somehow.

As far as I'm concerned, I may still be on the bench, but I'm on the right team!  |
Hey man, get off that bench your up!
Are you saying since no one has tried to tell you you are flat out wrong and have to believe this - that you are heading in the right direction?
Maybe you wish you had a stronger view that produced reactions in others with different views? I'm not sure that's what you want.
