Pete 456 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 This guy represents a big problem in society - the need to believe in something. Most people have it, it's just more obvious in some people. Conspiracy theorists, anti vaxers, nutbag dieters, fringe religions... it's all the same, some kind of primal need to believe in something stoopid or antisocial, but even worse now that we have the church of the internet Do we all have something, deep down we believe in that defies logic/science/social norms?
