Of course some of the litmus tests would be to ask yourself how does such belief affect your life? Does it enrich it or make things difficult. Can you stand behind it? Can you articulate an explanation of it to others?
I am not one for faith in something merely because I want to believe it. There needs to be at least an ounce of truth and thought.
For example, to believe the Earth is flat or that climate change does not exist would be ridiculous considering the unquestionable facts that say otherwise.
Being skeptical is healthy. As human beings it is our lot in life to question and think. Use this gift.
