Aargh!!

I actually believe this outbreak of credulity is a symptom of impending cultural collapse. As people lose faith and trust in traditional institutions (which have been attacked continuously for decades) they first start to believe in nothing and then they will believe in anything.

Our piss poor educational system which teaches what to think instead of how to think doesn’t help the situation either.

Good point, but also given current state of society and the economy many may find conspiracy theories and the idea of having "special inside knowledge" as empowering. A belief system that can be affirmed by referencing back upon itself.

Be sober, be vigilant, for your adversary, the devil stalketh about as a lion seeking whomever he may devour.

God pleads with us to use our brains and recognize we HAVE an enemy and that enemy is wandering around looking for ANYone to eat.

IF we maintain the belief that America has her roots in Christian thought process, and we can see our nation being eaten up, we're supposed to see that it is Satanic.

"The children" hjave been used since the 70's (as I remember ... I could be wrong on the date) because we love our kids and put our women on pedestals.

zero promised to change the way America DOES things

You change the DO by changeing the way you THINK.

Christians are nuts to see Satan and patriots are nuts to see enemies.

The fact is ... we're at war, and Washington is only the tool and vehicle.
