Is there really such a thing as a conspiracy hater? How about calling them intelligent rational people who understand that there is evidence and facts that disprove imaginary conspiracies. The conspiracy nuts don't like facts and evidence. They prefer to not answer questions of provide proof of their beliefs. They tend to post meaningless things just like what you just did.

Try this experiment. Post whatever it is you believe about the JFK assassination or what happened on 9/11 and provide evidence. I'll provide ample proof the site you got your information is run by a kook and that your belief has been thoroughly debunked. I'll even provide proof. When you refuse, and respond by saying something like you could provide your theory and proof but you don't want to waste your time, you'll know for sure you are just another kook who believes in bizarre nonsensical conspiracy theories. It's a simple test.

I think it's more because they are taught to accept everything and question nothing. When it challenges their notions of things, it causes them to be uncomfortable/defensive and instead of seeking to find if there is truth in it, they just shun away from it for fear of it causing a disturbance to their viewpoints of the world.

People are afraid of being judged by the crowd should they stick their neck out.

Yup backlash is pretty high for stuff like this which ruffles the feathers....but it is better to know your enemy and be prepared then to deny your enemy exists and get surprised in the end. The latter find it's too late while the former will at least be able to weather the storm.

The key is balance some will say I don't need to focus on conspiracy theories but more on God. I think that is a cop out because the truth would disturb their reality in a really bad way. I know it did for me...but I'm glad I know now. It's worth getting shaken from sleep when the house is on fire and realizing it then sleeping through it. At least you can react better to the situation. It's important not to get consumed with conspiracy theories but to have balance between spending time with God and being aware. Most people choose one or the other but without balance you become less in the area you are neglecting... We need both to discern the times otherwise we will be too caught up in religion to be aware that our world is changing....and that we need to make adjustments to these changes...

The idiot preachers on TBN and the like tell their followers that God has everything under control and wants to give you all this free stuff...and to not worry about the economy or the lack of job. Just drop a $100 check in the plate everything will be fine (most tv preachers are millionaires and not suffering one bit)....when really those people should be at least reading the news (which they don't most are interested in who won dancing with the stars then the price of oil falling for example) and truly seeking God for help not the empty promise of their preachers who make money off of them like snake oil salesmen.It is the lack of people truly seeking God but seeking men and women preachers to save them which never works out for them...only empty promises and endless giving to false teachers....

If, & that's a big "if", people knew how many were true, & how many of them tie in to the coming of the Antichrist, they would realize that we're no longer in the last days, but in the last hours, possibly in the last minutes.

Yet it has been years since the first time I remember someone saying the world was going to end on a specific date. Same thing happened in my parents' days. The more we get false alarms, the less we are going to pay attention.

I've talked to people about how the weather can be controlled to a certain degree. They flat out don't believe it. Even when China was actually doing it for their summer games.

I agree with the balanced lifestyle..... It's easy to be consumed with the events in the world, knowing they are the evidence of last day prophecy. I almost did it myself when My eyes was first opened to how these conspiracies run in parallel with the scriptures that foretell them.

The reason so many think this is not true is many, but not all, have been made blind. The others can't see it because the listen to the blind. If they keep following them, they will fall in the ditch with them. (Matthew 15:14, Luke 6:39)
John 9:39 (KJV)
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

So blind they cannot read a verse & interpret it with carnal common sense.
