Why Rational People Buy Into Conspiracy Theories

[Kristy]

Billy Joel the date rapist:

She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do.

Listen boy I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
Tell her about it. Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real.

Now compare with:

"I know what you want, I can see what you're looking for.
I know what you want from me, an' I'm gonna give you more.

I'm gonna slide it in right to the top,
Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in, right to the top.
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it, in baby..."


Date rape tunes are all the same. Does not matter who writes them.

I'm not rational...

I'm a child of the one true living God and a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ...

I don't rationalize anything...

I detect truth wherever it's hidden...

Then why did they leave you in a basket in front of someone's doorstep?

This being a religious thread, you should have gone with a different Billy Joel lyric....

Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done...
Only the good die young


Though I always thought it worked better as a punk rock song......

[Nickdfresh]

"God" didn't write the Bible. Man did.
...

And selectively edited it, leaving key parts out that could have just as easy could have been in "The Bible" if they had chosen to drink either more or less that day...

Believe that is more about pedophilia which runs wild in the Catholic church. Odd a Jew from New York would write such a strange tune unless he was into it himself.

Stop making fun of the Lord, DAVE

DAVE

DAVE

..

Dave's not here, man.

[Kristy]

Then go find my car keys, asshole.

Found them.

[Seshmeister]

No, Holy Spirit filled men of God penned the Scriptures...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Obviously you believe the Bible is perfect. That's why you are trying to make others believe you are living by it, word for word.

But you, like all the others, only live by the parts you choose to live by. You don't believe every single word of that garbage. But keep wasting your energy convincing yourself otherwise. No need to convince anyone else, because they don't care. Now return to your hypocrisy.

I work with a guy like that. He's all preachy, and then will steal other people's lunches out of the fridge. One of the other guys told him "I'm pretty sure Jesus says 'don't be an asshole'" and Jesusboy gets pissy and runs to HR.

They believe they are saved. See if you changed it to when you die you are judged according to your actions and behavior on planet earth and if you fall below a certain level of acceptability you are reincarnated back on earth and you have to live your whole miserable life over again until you get it right that would stop them from stealing other people's lunches. In fact karma would make sure they were the ones being stolen from.

Life can be tough and most people need a crutch but such an unsophisticated theology like ELVIS has just comes across as ludicrously childish, hugely old fashioned and closer to the Taliban than any concept of Western freedoms and democracy.

The worrying thing observing this loon in the petri dish here is that compared to many millions in the US, he's relatively mild. ELVIS at least accepts evolution and some science.

But not climate science... which is ironic, given his literal front row seat to some of the worst by-products AND causes of man made climate change.

[Nitro Express]

I don't think you people get it. Religion exists to entertain us.

[ELVIS]

Yeah.... those Jews that you're always whining about since you joined the "Christian" Identity cult

The Bible has little to do with Jews...

Maybe you should read it...

[ELVIS]

If there were mental hospitals back then, those guys would have been committed to them.

Yes, I know...

If you would bother to pick up the Bible you would find that most everyone God sent was ridiculed and killed...

Most people thought they were nuts, just as you think I'm nuts...

The Bible says I'll be hated, but to be of good cheer...

So, that's how I am...

Think I'll take a tire burning spin in the Super Bee...
