Well, like a good, open-minded, free thinker, I take my truth where I find it. I think the people who see conspiracy around every corner are as diverse in their motivations as the perfectly normal people who come to the various religions are diverse in their motivations . Some are easily led, some are searching for that sense of superiority, some are chemically induced paranoids. Humans are often motivated to the same ends by different means. Searching for the one "true" answer is probably wasted effort. It IS facinating to watch the effect of a particularly bizzare conspiracy theory on the devotes. Such passion in the face of rejection and scorn is so very uniquely human, eh? Of course, I understand that there have been, are now and in the furture, will be actual consiracies. But I am reminded , when seeing the post that ridicules those who take take UFO theories seriously while refusing to acknowledge the remotest possibility that their "pet" conspiracy is equally unfounded, of the admonition of Jesus to not ignore the plank in your own eye. It all just makes me ponder the human animal with more facination.
