Jesus created Unicorns and THIS happened...and the Vatican is covering it up and Christians minds are blown...

Guys... I love movies with conspiracy theories, I really do...but I don't base my life around them. If you get your theology from some weird free webpage with a thousand ads about ED and stuff, you should be worried, not proudly proclaiming it.

There is a reason that things like the "Gospel of Barnabas" being covered up in 2000 and stuff reside only in this conspiracy theorist subculture...and it's not because there is a fantasy super genius wearing the same clothes every day, living in his mother's basement because he's so devoted to learning, is some mythological, clairvoyant superbrain that has info everyone else is afraid to divulge. All that is click bait...stuff designed to get you to click on a website so that they can track your clicks, report to their advertisers that more people clicked on their site, so they can charge said advertisers more money to advertise with them...it's not the undeniable pursuit of truth.

We all see it.  Doesn't it seem like the more fantastic and the more ridiculous the story, especially if it has a conspiracy angle to it, actually seems to make the source more credible to some people in this day and age? Stop being that person...in politics (every meme isn't true), in your causes (any article that says "and THIS happened" or "______ minds are blown" is probably sketchy), in your faith (we've found the "real" Bible and Jesus created a unicorn he used to ride as a child...really! The Vatican is covering it up), in our finances (Zuckerberg is going to give me billions...because I'm special - you ARE awesome, but he's not giving you money), in sports (I KNOW that the Red Elephant Club just fixed the KY Derby) and in all the other areas of our lives...

This year needs to be different. We've all seen this internet thing long enough to be able to get over "if it's in print, then it must be true" deal that we got used to trusting...even though it was never true to begin with.

Let's make 2016 the "Year of the Intelligent Choice That We've Researched A Little" and not another "Year of the Mindless Rage Zombie Accepting Anything That Thrills"...okay?  That's all.
