And when you try to explain this to them, it only reinforces their idea that those behind the conspiracies are all-powerful.

I'm a member of another forum and in a constant debate with a nut case who is a follower of Alex Jones. His depth of gullibility is unbelievable. When presented with evidence or even common sense that contradicts his posts he says that I and others that debate him are either gullible or working with the New World Order.

Isn't that sharp? You're labeled as either incredibly stupid or wickedly clever.

To be fair, narrow mindedness is also a christian trait which you posses. Not so far off the chain either eh pal?
"The most dangerous thing an intelligent person can do, is beleive they are smarter than anyone else." to quote myself.
Aah, the old You don't believe in an unsubstantiated claim, therefore you are narrow minded attack. That's still the typical fundy answer also I'm afraid.
No. It's called skepticism, not only are we skeptical of what is presented, but we are skeptical of what you present without evidence.
You should turn that quote upon yourself and consider introspection.

lol, and why should I do everything for you? I could do days of research and I could put it all together in a big fancy presentation, but it wont matter. At the end you will never beleive me, because you never looked into it yourself.
And no, it was an old. You never did the research or even bothered to look into it and make sure it wasn't real.
If I happend to have some religious fundelmentalist traits, so be it. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and atheist have only recently become accepted. If anything we all carry traits of our religious brethren because we arent yet far removed from them. There is no god, so there is no punishment for your sins, now tell me how many you break? How many anti god acts have you commited?
