[Fake Messiah]

I'm seeing a disturbing trend on the net.
It's so easy and accessible now more than ever to express your thoughts and ideas with the net and social media.
I mean crazies were always crazy but there are a significant amount of them to cause concern.

Sure and that's why people should get acquainted with both sides. Even I sometimes look into people that claim alternative realities like R. Shaver or creationism, but it doesn't take long for me to see that what they're talking about doesn't make sense. In perfect world people would always research every claim they hear about anything.
But of course religious leaders make sure their followers don't do that by denigrating other people outside their religion. For instance majority of Christians think that "God Delusion" is practically a swear words dictionary that when you read it you are unknowingly participating in a satanic mass as well as all other books written by scientists non-believers because "they don't follow 10 commandments so they just lie and deceit you".

One of the really good example of side by side comparison of different claims in an article on rationalwiki 101 evidences for a young age of the Earth and the universe which are arguments of both sides displayed in one place for reader to decide.

Also there was an interesting movie recently, Denial (2016), which is about tackling with a person that is deceiving people. It's a good insight into the methodology and the mindset of people who deceive and people who expose them.
