Characteristics of Conspiracy Theories

[factotum]

LOL, you have misunderstand Sae, Sae's posts serve to amuse Sae, they say nothing about her attention span.

You clearly put alot of time into that article. I'm left wondering what the conclusions mean in context. Are you simply making a commentary, or does this conclusion to you support some specific "conspiracy theory"...or does it flatly repudiate some specific "conspiracy theory"?

How did you come up with the idea that the article involved conspiracies?

A third option, does it imply a negative or positive about conspiracy theories in general? Yet a fourth option, your article has absolutely nothing to do with conspiracy theories.

That last would be correct. Because of some interactions that I have been having with people I have noticed similarities, which has lead me to the hypothesis that: because of similarities in how the brains of believers work, as opposed to non-believers when it comes to seeing patterns that are not there, that only believers would be involved in conspiracy theories. I am exploring that.

As to your article, it would seem to be that you are of the opinion that nothing can be done to prevent your conclusion from manifesting itself into reality. Would I be mistaken in saying that, or do you offer an alternative?

I have some in mind. I did not want to post them. If others had some ideas I would like to see them. I would not like to see other peoples reactions to my ideas.

I'm also a bit vague about the op. Are you asking if any of us are, as atheists/agnostics involved in perpetuating specific conspiracy theories, or are you asking if any of us as atheists/agnostics are actively engaged in conspiring?

Neither. I just want to know if anyone knows if there are any atheists who believe in conspiracies? Well, I guess that would actually be any atheists anywhere involved in any way with conspiracy theories. But I guess that the nature of the beast is that if you are involved then you are promoting. Sort of like being a Christian with the charge to promote the truth.

Whatever the case may be, welcome to the boards. BTW, get the thumb reattached?

No. But I got a toe move to where the thumb used to be.
