You said to be free and think for yourself, but if you obtain your beliefs from a video that someone else made or a theory that someone else came up with, are you really thinking for yourself? It goes both ways... if you want to think independently, then not only do you have to question the "official account" but you also have to question the conspiracy theory. |
Which is what I clearly said I did in my post.
Theories and videos can be great tools to spark an interest and encourage further investigation. I never said anything about watching a video and basing my entire belief on it. As far as I'm aware, I don't believe any religions sift through the Bible picking out parts that they feel are wrong/incorrect (correct me if I'm wrong). Your either with it or your not.. thus you can't really make a comparison. I understood his point, but I think you missed mine completely once again. The Bible was written long ago and speaks of accounts/events that have occurred long ago, the NWO is happening right now, thus it can be proven if you are willing to open yourself up to the possibility.
Also, I never said you can show the intent of the authors of these theories. The only person who truly knows my intentions is myself, just like the only person who truly knows your intentions is yourself. The Bible should not be taken literally because if you do so, you believe that a God lives up in the sky and if you disobey him, he will cast you to an eternal hell where you shall live for all of eternity! Great way to scare people into religion if you ask me, but this has nothing to do with this thread and were not about to get into it, because that would be a whole other debate by itself. I could go on and on with the issues I have regarding the Bible and organized religion, but that is just my opinion and I have nothing against people who choose to follow either the Bible or religion.
