The Religion of 9-11 Truth

[alienentity]

9-11 Truth is indeed their religion.

Alex Jones, Richard Gage, and Dylan Avery are their Gods/Prophets.

Their Holy Scriptures are Loose Change/Terrorstorm/Endgame.

Their prayer books are Prisonplanet.com, Loose Change forum, and all the "XXXX For Truth" websites.

Their Holy Day? The 11th of every month.

I would amend that slightly - Gage, Avery et al. are the high priests of the cult.

The God? It's the vast conspiracy, no less.That's the all-powerful entity at the core of their myths.

More parallels:

At the core of many religions is the idea that the individual can in some way influence things that are really beyond his control. The individual prays or makes sacrifices to god(s) who then intercede on the individual's behalf. Similarly, Truthers often make claims such as "they won't try another attack because they know we are onto them, and we won't let them get away with it next time". Ergo, their mere BELIEF in the conspiracy keeps another one from happening.

Once a religion has more or less established, it contains a certain set of beliefs to which it's members generally subscribe. Truthers thus have to subscribe to the beliefs in controlled demolitions, pentagon flyovers, shanksville no plane, etc. It isn't enough to maybe just believe that the government went out and hired a bunch of suicide bombers to hijack planes and fly them into things.

The overly religious often don't want their members (or children) exposed to other, outside ideas or religions (apparently not too secure in their own belief set). Easy to find posts over at LCF indicating how they don't want "noobs" to be confused by reading debunker material.

Indeed, those are the beliefs associated with the Truther religion and as with any religion they believe your soul is imperiled if you don't subscribe to it.

@ parky76...I invisioning a bad ass satire poster, except Prisonplanet.com, Loose Change forum ect. would be the churches.

And don't forget their various squabbling sects, Such as No Planer, Exotic weaponry, LIHOP, etc, all who believe that their truth is the correct one, and all other sects are the work of the NWO!!

The Anti-Science Delusion:

The belief that a non-scientist knows more about science than a scientist.

The Remedy:

None required as sufferers of this delusion are taken seriously by exactly no one.

.
Now this is the key.

Turning science into a religion and the scientists into a priesthood that doesn't have to make everything as clear as possible.

They don't have to specify the steel and concrete. The dumb laymen aren't supposed to be able to comprehend the conservation of momentum. The pseudo-scientists that hide information are more important than science.

Just BELIEVE the BS that is dished out. LOL

I AGREE

you don't understand scaling as well.


You refuse to take a lower and upper bound and do the math. Because you know it will destroy your CD fantasy if you put pen to pad. You would rather play with toothpicks, dowels, and washers like a child with tinkertoys.

Please explain in what way conservation of momentum is related to this problem, psikeyhackr. In scientific terms please.

I don't really follow this,I just dip in now and again for amusement.I thought that all these truthers had more or less the same theory.You mean that all these nutcases have widely differing versions of what happened? Talk about being one sandwich short of a picnic!

Take a look at http://www.freewebs.com/911guide/ for a summary of the various different flavours of 9/11 conspiracy theories. The proponents of different theories fight like cats in a sack. In fact, as far as I can tell, there isn't a single significant 9/11 truther who hasn't been accused by at least one other truther of being a government agent promulgating obviously ridiculous theories in order to discredit the movement.

Fool. Does it not occur to you that all truthers are NWO disinfo agents and that nobody actually believes 9/11 was an inside jobby? This would be because the NWO can do this sort of thing, just to keep in practice, like.
