A new study, published in something called the Journal for The Scientific Study of Religion, claims that both Christian nationalism and biblical literalism are independently associated with a greater tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. More to the progressive point, that study purportedly found when people believed in both Christian nationalism and biblical literalism, their distrust of government officials increased significantly. Egads!
In other words, they were more astute and less naive.
Yet leftists believe the findings provide insight into the sociocultural factors that contribute to the inexplicable spread and persistence of “misinformation”—amongst certain groups of people.
Study researchers claimed to be motivated by a growing concern over the allegedly harmful effects of “conspiracy theories,” such as those surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine and the belief that the 2020 election may have been stolen from Donald Trump. They supposedly also sought to better understand the factors that contribute to the endorsement of what they consider to be conspiracy theories within specific religious and ideological contexts, according to some online reports.
LOL! “Conspiracy theories” such as COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan Virology Lab or that the Russian-collusion theory was a hoax perpetrated by Trump’s political opponents? Oh wait, those were both absolutely true. Or that the vaccines didn’t prevent transmission and, in fact, caused a great many serious harms? Oh wait, those are each factual statements, as well. Or maybe that…oh, never mind. It is abundantly clear that leftists proactively label any and all inconvenient facts-- and anything with which they disagree-- as “conspiracy theories.”
I can’t state this emphatically enough: to leftists, a “conspiracy theory” is literally anything-- no matter how fact-based, empirically obvious, or rational—that doesn’t support their ideological agenda (which is specifically intended to grant them power over infidels like us for perpetuity).

Here lately, yesterday’s “conspiracy theories” are today’s facts.
Much more likely to be enemies of the state due to their unwillingness to give up their beliefs and blindly obey the government.
And yet these same study authors probably triple masked and quadruple vaxxed and called themselves smart for “following the science”
The difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth... about 6 months judging by:
• Steele Dossier
• Mueller
• Impeachment 1
• Impeachment 2
• Mar-a-Lago raid
• Alvin Bragg
• Jack Smith
Translated:
Those who are correct most of the time are associated with Christianity. (irony that ‘correct’ = ‘right’)
Waiting for the study which associates mental illness (’left’) with religious disassociation.../s
And think of all the Clinton conspiracies.
“conspiracy theory” = An inconvenient truth for the left. The evidence for which they ignore, so as to pretend it doesn’t exist.
Christian or just living in today’s America.
Wicked men and women conspire.
It is a sinful trait in humanity.
God’s word never hides man’s sinful behaviors.
Communists, the ungodly, do not like their bad, dark, secret behaviors exposed.
After the rapture, the world won’t be seeking an explanation ... they will be too busy cheering ...
That is because proper Christianity teaches one to ask question, think.
Liberals can’t think themselves out of a paper bag.
A study generated thru ChatGPT, maybe?
Question for study creators: was the vax effective and safe?
A Conspiracy is not a “Theory” when it is actually taking place- its a given fact at that point.
Could it be because authentic Christians are more discerning of evil than the average Joe?
That is correct.
I vote for this one.
Yep in other words Christianity is associated with the truth.
And cut off their man parts, then cut a hole, wear a wig and call themselves a “lady”.
I was at the grocery store yesterday down here in Dallas and it was 90+ degrees and people were wearing masks alone in the parking lot.
