wrong.. because there is no right religion. and there is a difference between myth and truth.
analogous would have to mean something similar.
To a religious person, there is a true religion, the rest being just myths and/or variations on her truth. To a Conspiracy Theorist, she's got the truth, and all other ideas are just myths.
You cannot analyse both sentences Karimically, but as the preacher regarding what he's preaching - that's what we're talking about ;)

I'm an atheist, and even I don't think religion is based solely on blind faith... that's just too simplistic an explanation, mate, you've got to work on something much more elaborate than that to talk about religion.

I just had the most frustrating day from dealing with a family of CT's, here's a quote:
"you know when Ahmedinejad said there are no gays in Iran, he was telling the truth-this fad doesn't exist in Iran like in the west so I don't know why the zionist media made such a big deal"
Apparantly Obama, Harper, Merkel, Sarkozy, Brown, etc., are all part of a spirit worshiping masonic cult...:wtf:
I am extremely diplomatic in these situations and I can usually play it off that I am intrigued by the illogical rhetoric that is being spewed. A word to the wise, don't ever debate a conspiracy theorist with a PHD, it can be a Pretty Huge Disaster

lol i was being a bit sarcastic. The premise of religion is simply a faith no questions asked as to why no testable predictions just believe and thats it. We don't try to find evidence of noah's arc, the parting of the red sea, or radiometric data verifying 7 days of creation. Its simply faith. To compare this to a conspiracy theorist would not be analogous since, on the contrary, consipracy theorists are creating, analyzing or fabricating evidence towards a theory.
This could be analogous if there was 1 true religion as there is 1 truth regarding a conspiracy theory. For religion, the probability of even 1 of them being correct is very slim. So your comparing myth to myth.
To be analagous, the two comparables must have the same premise.
This myth is correct while that myth is incorrect.
vs
The moon landing was real while the conspiracy theorist believe its fake.
To be analagous there should be at least 1 correct response
1 and 1
1 and 0
mathematically this does not process.
anyways im trying to twist your leg here lira :p

I firmly believe that conspiracy theorists are paid by the government to spread hoaxes in order to hide the truth.

what if the government paid people to help perpetuate the illusion that conspiracy theorists are paid directly in order to cover up the truth?
didn't think about that did you, you en sheep.

its an exercise in futility. deranged people will cling to nonsense concepts for grim death. you can't argue with fantasy.

Basically the situation is this friend of my aunt's, claimed some NWO bull and I called him out on it. He then says that he is an independent thinker and all this. I tell him if he was an independent thinker, he would not believe that the NWO is true.
