An interesting quote I found on the internet (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

It’s was in an article (rightfully) slamming a woman for claiming that earthquakes and eclipses are caused by climate change. But one quote stuck out to me as seeming pretty inaccurate. “We’re unfortunately past the point in the history of mankind where something can just happen and there not be 1,000 conspiracy theories birthed from it.”. Does this happen now? Ofc. But in the past was this not just as much of a thing, if not worse? Where else do we get religion from? Even if you’re religious I think it’s a safe bet that you view other religions, particularly ancient polytheistic ones, as an attempt to explain away events that are now explained by science. Thunder and lightning happened? Zeus is angry. Why did the sun rise and set each day? Ra was on his daily sun boat journey. Are these just not glorified conspiracy theories, thereby meaning in recorded history we never had a time when conspiracy theories were used to explain things happening? Discuss

I’m pretty sure he had to go through trials and battles on the route so I’m not sure you want to

I... I imagined it to be more relaxed

people can believe whatever the F they want...
they can also espouse such beliefs in the sanctity of their home/church private institution etc etc
they can also vote for people who also believe such things...

the issue is when they cross a line and try to force other non-believing people to also believe such things or try to teach such things in a public institution
