As I sometimes say, "Don't mess with my delusions, they're working just fine for me right now." I will pirate that for my facebook.

I'm still wanting to know what conspiracy theories have been deemed "stupid".
911?
Chemtrails?
HAARP?
USA concentration camps?

Yeah, my guess is that they are probably misinformed and don't bother researching things out on their own. Speaking of which, why is it that as a church we still celebrate pagan holidays like Easter and Christmas even though the Bible tells us not to do so? The Bible talks about Christmas and Easter?!? Well, I know the KJV mentions Easter (in a positive light), but...

So why is it perfectly normal intelligent people fall for the stupidest conspiracy theories? Your question implies that falling for the stupidest conspiracy theories is perfectly normal and intelligent. Therefore, I would like to posit the corollary; You are neither normal nor intelligent if you reject the stupidest conspiracy theories.

Well, I know the KJV mentions Easter (in a positive light), but... The KJV does mention the word "Easter", but it's a mistranslation of Pascha (aka. Passover in English). Most other bible translations (ie. NIV, NKJV, etc..) have corrected this mistranslation. Christmas and Easter are both pagan holidays that were "Christianized" (by man, not God). The bible clearly tells us to not worship God the same way the pagans do (See Deuteronomy 12:29-31 and Leviticus 18:1-4). The dates, customs and most traditions of those holidays are completely pagan. Even casual research will verify this.

Frostie is GREAT! He turned 21 years old yesterday (along with myself and all my pets, a very convenient DOB assigned to all by me) and to celebrate, we experienced a 2.8 magnitude earthquake with the epicenter located 3 miles from us! It felt like an elephant headbutted my mobile home! There was a very strange, groaning sound, one huge JOLT which sent Corkie, my miniature macaw, flying off her cage and caused Frostie to screech in terror! (Frostie's Shake Your Tail Feather video is now only about 50,000 views away from hitting 2 MILLION!) Thanks for asking!
Have we heard from Mr. Anonymous aka Ernie Bennett lately?

By all means please copy and paste my list into a reply and add your own.
What baffles me is why people can think three huge steel/concrete structures could all come down at free fall rate (13 seconds)due to the heat of a fire supposedly propelled by jet fuel.
