Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

I believe money is used to replace God so a select few can have unlimited access to the "source". A false "god" is then permitted to be pushed on the people for further oppression.

But regular god is also used to push oppression.

See:

  • The Crusades
  • Anti gay/trans nonsense going on in the shithole states lately
  • The Spanish Inquisition (nobody expected this one)
  • Basically the entire Middle-East

People putting their faith in anything they don't control inevitably leads to this.
