Well I originally came in here hoping to see some actual philosophical discussion. Instead we have some one liners. I'd like to think that life is a little more complex than a one liner. Anyway, philosophically I don't necessarily conform but my thoughts tend towards agnosticism, cynicism, and skepticism.
Which makes me a faithless jaded asshole most of the time.
I like things that are provable. I believe in measurable repeatable results. I don't trust anecdotal evidence nor simple eye witness reports. I don't feel the need to disprove things, disproving things is nigh impossible (as shown by the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his noodley appendage). Rather I ask for extrodinary claims show evidence. I'm not even going to go as far as Sagan and say "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." No, extraordinary claims just need the same regular evidence everything else is held to.
Some people might find that odd. I read comicbooks about men with superpowers and play dungeons and dragons. Yet I do not believe ghosts exist, nor monsters (be they mythical or cryptid), not magic, not the power of crystals, or Atlantis. Don't get me wrong, world would be a more interesting place if they did, but I see no solid evidence that they do.
