Ya'll are supposedly the ones who see through all of society's lies and deception and what not, so how the ? can any of you have fallen for the biggest, dumbest, most obvious on of all?


By the way, this goes for all religions, not just Christians, but if I said "religious" instead of "Christian" I'd get a bunch of abstract ? replies about how ? is the feeling I get when I look into a homeless persons eyes or ? like that.

    I asked this myself I don't understand it. I don't see how they could apply so much research to all these other issues but neglect researching in depth the religion that they subscribe to. It really tickles me when they go into rants about something being "pagan" like really? Indoctrination is no joke is what it sums up to.

    Actually, to answer my own question, the reason is that belief in ? and believing in a covert far-reaching secret world order come from the same childish impulse to tell yourself that our fate is in someone else' almighty hands. I think this is the correct answer. It's the same sick comfort that one gets from believing that it's all ? 's will and what happens to them and to others cannot be their fault that they get from telling themselves that their limitations in life are the fault of some spooky secret society.

    this is a reasonable argument, although it weakens if the religious person does not believe whatever happens to them/others is not their fault. honestly, i don't know that many religious people who think that (although i am sure there are many, so my anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much in this case).

    Tupac said Killuminati so I will wholeheartedly believe they exist, because Tupac cannot be disputed. Try it and see how my fellow Tupacians will crush your argument.

    Tupac actually said it in response to "? " all that noise them ? was kickin to him about the illuminati while he was in jail.

    This notion that tupac believed in the illuminati comes from ? lack of comprehension.

    Ironically people use this audio recording as "proof" that this version of the illuminati exists

    Because truth mixed with falsehood is a hell of a net.

    hey ive seen this thread before

    Damn, did I ? up the master plan by biting one of your threads?

    Well I know what has to be done. I'll be at my house from 6-9 PM tomorrow. If you can, just tell them I want to die quickly and painlessly.
