Interesting, I wrote a similar piece just a few days ago. The problem is really worse than you make out. The conspiracy mindset is anti-Christian, in embracing a way of life that openly repudiates and despises the ninth commandment. https://www.discipleshipdominion.com/p/not-all-knowledge-is-worth-pursuing
It’s amazing to see the saints of God being led in a similar direction. I wrote about this here too. Praise God brother. I think many of us who were delivered from new age sort of “naturally” had the conspiratorial mindset that through the renewal of our mind in time we’d be drawn to repentance. It is freedom.
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. I have noticed the same thing among people who tend to be open to conspiracy theories & there are many of those people on the political right.
I think that it is partially a reaction to being gaslight so much by the mainstream media and their spin on events that any “official story” has to be untrue. So instead of following the evidence & having rational reasoning; they assume like you said that everything is a lie. I’ve seen that too many times about controversial topics or people.
My wife and I were saying this a few days ago. She looked at me exhausted and said, “I don’t think I believe in conspiracies anymore.”
Conspiratorial thinking ends up becoming its own box and set of limitations.
Amen.
I have no doubt that more conspiracies will occur. But there's a difference between "critical thinking" and "conspiratorial thinking."

Thanks brother, it’s a good perspective. Appreciate your work and efforts in all you do to keep the dialogue going, whatever lands on your table.
