atheists and "conspiracy" theories

[jackman]

phil, it wasn't MY theory that they vaporized. that was tounge-in-cheek explanation to why some of the neighbors and first-responders who went to that site that day, said they found not a shred of evidence that anything was there - no plane, no people, no body parts, no sound, it was like a funeral. not until weeks later did parts show up, hundreds of feet from the hole in the ground.

napoleon, i hear you. truthfully, i don't think what i think is conspiracy theories. there's none of them that i know of yet, that i'm buying lock stock n barrell. just keeping open to the possibilities. granted, i do tend to look at the holes in stories and perhaps over-expose them in my head when needn't be. that's a personality trait of mine that isn't one of my most endearing ones. i've been dealt a bad hand (as a lot of people have) and worked hard to make it a good one - but i'd be lying if i said that hasn't made me think twice about a lot of stuff.

i feel like i learn a ton more stuff when i speak with people on a side that is sort of playing devil's advocate (for lack of a better word). two of the conspiracies that interest me to no end are 9/11 and illuminati. no matter how unfounded people think they are, i'm reading a book on freemasonry by giles morgan right now.
