Why do most tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists who believe in the "illuminati" tend to be Christians?

You Know, You seem to have an issue with Lying, Two warnings concerning conspiracy theories: first, we should never get ahead of what God wishes to reveal to us. God reveals the truth in mystery (Daniel 2:30; Genesis 40:8). He will tell us what we need to know in His time, and there are things we do not need to know (Mark 13:32; Revelation 10:4). We should not indulge in useless speculation that takes time and effort away from our work for Christ (1 Timothy 1:4).

Second, we should not fear. "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). Many conspiracy theories feed fear and prey on ignorance and gullibility. God has called us to something better.

One problem with conspiracy theories is that they place too much emphasis on worldly matters. It's good for political intrigue to come to light, but that is not a necessary condition for the Christian life (2 Timothy 3:12). It is right for corruption to be brought to justice (Isaiah 1:17), but it is still possible to live a godly life, even if justice never happens. In our search for truth, Romans 8:31 should always be in mind: "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?"

Exposing the truth is good. Obsessing over rumor and hearsay and half-proven theories is harmful. Ephesians 5:11-14 is an excellent guideline. Verse 11 says to expose "the fruitless deeds of darkness." But verse 12 says not to mention them. How do we expose them? Not by conjecture or worry or fear or never-ending deliberation, but by waiting on the words of verses 13 and 14: "Everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible." Speak the truth and wait for God's timing.

Endless speculation about conspiracy theories is, at best, a waste of time. At worst, the obsession induces paralyzing fear as our attention is drawn away from Christ. Avoid the mysteries God hasn't chosen to reveal yet. Let Him work according to His timing. Rest in His plan, which can never be thwarted (Job 42:2).

Above all, do not fear. “The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed.” But “He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them” (Psalm 2:2, 4).

They HAVE TO believe in conspiracies to explain why biologists laugh at their attempt to discredit theory of evolution. So these kind of beliefs are vital to maintain the christian world view.

You can pretty well divide people between those who expect evidence to believe and those who do not.

Those who believe commonly believe in a god are just as likely to also believe in any of a number of other equally unprovable concepts.

Those who require evidence are no more likely to believe in any concept that is evidence-free, whether religion or bigfoot.

Well, most Americans are Christians, and a good percentage of them are fundamentalist crazies

who are open to believing just about anything.

Ask one of them how many of these "beings" he believes in:

Gods, angels, devils, vampires, zombies, Bigfoot, leprechauns, aliens from outer space, and

modern day members of the Illuminati, and he'll say, "Yes!" to ten of them - although there are only nine on the list.

Watch it buddy, I worked hard for my little Tin Foil Hat.

I think because it ties in with the "End-Times."

It is easy to get caught up in that "stuff" if you are looking for Jesus Second Coming.

Only Christians are smart and stylish enough to appreciate head wear.
