Good point on skepticism.
There is the logic of faith and the logic of unbelief. God condemns the logic of unbelief.
Aberaham, for example, could have reasoned, well, it is not logical that I am hearing God talking to me, telling me to move, because no one else seems to have heard God, etc, etc,....
Or, he could have reasoned, since this is God talking to me and knows a lot more than I do, it is logical to move and believe the promises He made to me.
The former line of reasoning is based on the skeptics logic and is condemned whereas the latter is approved and rewarded by God.
But often the skeptic condemns the whole premise of the logic of faith and chooses the logic of an assumption of doubt.
I would rather though be approved of God and rejected of the skeptic than vice versa.

So you arguing that in supporting the concept of faith, the Bible encourages people to insanity?
Well, at least we know where you stand.
