-- Douglas Wilson, God Rest Ye Merry
The skeptic is skilled in poking holes in everything except his own skepticism. It turns out he is not nearly skeptical enough about his own skepticisms. About those alone does he have the utmost assurance. The seagull of skepticism is great at crapping on other people, but fails to see he's chasing the wind and happens to be full of crap. The cynic sees the difficulty of something without seeing its important. Cynicism is a kind of intellectual laziness that can imagine a lion on the street, but not a way around it. The scoffer can find the flaw in everything other than his own standards.
Proverbs 21:24
“Scoffer” is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.
Proverbs 29:8-9
Scoffers set a city aflame, but the wise turn away wrath. If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
