I think that in between skepticism and belief there has to be a balance. I consider myself a spiritual believer but I still look for logical explanations of things before I consider them 'paranormal'. Think about this:
A full close-minded skeptic will be skeptical about everything and will never be ready to accept something new and are blinded by science only.
A full open-minded believer will be open to everything and will believe about 99% of things you put in front of him/her. That is not good either in any way.
Examples:
Skeptics... You can give them a reading about their dead mother and give names and details without almost any information and they'll still think it's a coincidence or you might come with thousands of proof and even experience poltergeist and they will still be skeptical even if the event was very rare(although most skeptics change of mind after having a ghost encounter).
Believers... They can believe in anything and someone might just be fooling them. For an example, fake guru masters, magicians, holy ones ect. They will blindly follow. A really common example is Christians who consider spiritual practices outside their religion evil. I'm not saying it's all Christians but there are some who follows the bible from A to Z without doing explorations for themselves.
I say we need to find a key balance between skepticism and belief. Because being on one of them more then the other is not always a good thing. I know for sure that nowforever and Mark will agree with me on this one.
