Eh.

We should lock this...

No, wait. People will shout that S2K is ruled by the masons and that freedom to the "truth" is being violated!

Seriously, the time it takes to create conspiracy theories could be used to actually solve the world's problems, or at the very least solve other problems of merit.

Sure most things aren't as they seem and we should think critically. But the irony is that people don't want to think they want something to believe, whether it is religion or conspiracy theories.

I know...I'm part of the "problem."

The idea that this forum is run by the Masons is ridiculous. Everyone knows that The Illuminati are behind it, and that they use your computer to monitor your brain waves. That's why I always make sure that I wear an aluminum foil hat, not only when I am on this site, but always. Can't be too careful when it comes to the devious Illuminati. On the other hand, at least they aren't into anal probing, unlike those aliens who keep beaming me up to their mother ship on a regular basis......

LOL, I totally agree. A much better documentary could have been made debunking zeitgeist that would have just as many facts and theories as to how zeigeist if full of bs. I mean come on. btw that whole vid could honestly be cut down to about 3 minutes, 99% of that thing is just music and crappy digital effects. These are the same people that think 911 was a conspiracy, in the end though its just propaganda, its funny how that works though, very hypocritical.

I love how the government consistently tells us that this form of a republic was not founded on religion. Good lord, grow a backbone.
Completely the opposite bro. The strongest people I know all believe in some sort of religion and all the lowlifes, weirdos and unhappy people I know don't believe in anything (except for conspiracy theories). If you think about it, many of the greatest and most influential people of all time were religious. The most basic and fundamental teaching of any major religion is to just treat people with respect, and not to do bad stuff like lie or cheat or steal, wtf is wrong with that? I really cant respect people that bash on religion or think only stupid people that dont think are religious In the end even if there is no afterlife or reincarnation or whatever, the church has its good teachings that are meant to help people and improve the world, Yes the church makes mistakes, but who exactly make them? People. Period. If nobody believed in a god or something to that affect, this world would b fd up bad. Those weak people would suddenly get a lot weaker and I think a lot of people would be really really sad.
And Im not even that religious.

Follow the white rabbit and

Take the red pill.
