do you ever find that the people who tend to believe in conspiracy theories are those who usually want to believe in them? take 9-11 for example. is it any coincidence that those who believe the bush's were involved in planning it are also those who never really liked george bush to begin with? can't the same be said for religion?

if i find one believer here who will profess they don't want to believe in a god, you will have proved me wrong.

and before i get any comments saying i don't want to believe in a god. i actually do. it would be nice to know that those who go around telling everyone they're going to burn for all eternity for not believing as they believe will eventually get what's coming to them.

monte, you seem to be neglecting those atheist who would like to believe in a higher being if only one such being were actually provable.

I wish there was this great being so many insist is there (as long as it is not the warmonger worshipped by the Abrahamics). I simply cannot find any evidence or logic to suggest this is true, so I am an Agnostic/Atheist by default.

i basically decided the best way to approach everything is not to believe it
not to say that or this definitely did not happen or is not happening
but to keep a truly open mind about every tiny aspect of everything
massive supplies of truth and vision will flood your brain
but you have to disbelieve them too so you can see what's behind it
when you stop at something like believing only one way
you choose to limit your thinking and limit yourself
the mind is a prison or an open universe
depends on how you want to use it
i know i can't understand it all but i keep trying

certainly any story sounds better if it strikes a chord with what you want to be true, and the premise of 'exclusive knowledge' strokes the ego; one has discovered the "truth" that so many powerful conspirators wanted to keep hidden.
I love conspiracy theories as a wonderful modern mythology, but generally do not believe them.

No, anymore than it could be said about atheists on not believing. Most people form their opinions on their own observations and experiences.

You are talking beliefs verses facts which is so confusing to fundies.

theories.
god theories are baseless.
conspiracy 'theories' have at least some merit or basis in reality given that they are based on real events.
