Do you believe the Illuminati exists?

After all, they do put their same repeated symbols in almost everything that comes out of the mainstream entertainment industry.

    No, the Illuminati as portrayed by conspiracy nutbags today isn't actually a thing. It was the name of a group in the 18th century who simply opposed religious nonsense and supernatural beliefs, but they were never any sort of shady society who wanted to control the world.

    THAT idea of the Illuminati originated from anti-Jewish Nazi propaganda in the 1930s. A British Nazi sympathiser named Nessa Webster found out about the name from historical accounts of the original Bavarian Illuminati I mentioned before, and decided to use it to scare people into believing there was some Zionist conspiracy to take over the world.

    So in summary, if you believe in the Illuminati, you've been fooled by Nazi propaganda

    Anyone who believes a bunch of lame musicians are part of a huge conspiracy aren't dealing with common sense. The Illuminati is a modern fiction, created by writers to sell books. There isn't one ounce of credible evidence to prove their existence. What there is, however, is a mountain of innuendo, pseudo history, bad rationalisations and outright lies.

    The Illuminati DID exist. Note the use of the past tense. They were referred to as the Bavarian Illuminati and existed for a brief period of time 200+ years ago. They were intellectuals schooled in the ideals of the Enlightenment and sought to promote these ideals. The organisation was suppressed by the government and ceased to exist.

    The ideals of the Enlightenment included such radical notions as all men are created equal, that people should have a say in government, reason will lead to the truth. Note that any of the so called proofs offered by conspiracy sites never include what they really stood for. They had nothing to do with devil worship, they did not seek a dictatorship led by themselves and they would have laughed themselves into a stupor at the moronic posturing of second rate musicians who claim to be part of the grand conspiracy.

    Perhaps, Do the even really exist ?

    The Illuminati conspiracy is a conspiracy theory which holds that there is a "global elite" society that is either in control of the world or is seeking to take control of the world. As with most conspiracy theories, beliefs regarding the Illuminati conspiracy vary widely. As a result, it is virtually impossible to give a synopsis of the Illuminati conspiracy. Popularized in recent books and movies, the Illuminati conspiracy has definitely reached "cult fiction" status.

    If there is indeed some truth to the Illuminati conspiracy, the Illuminati are nothing but pawns in the hands of Satan, tools to be manipulated in his conflict with God. The fate of the Illuminati will be the same as the fate of their lord, Satan/Lucifer, who will be cast into the lake of fire, to be tormented day and night, forever and ever (Revelation 20:10). In John 16:33 Jesus declared, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." For Christians, all we need to understand about the Illuminati conspiracy is summarized in the words of 1 John 4:4, "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

    I allow for the possibility that the Illuminati may well have existed,

    but any current crop that thinks it is equal to the Illuminati of the late 1700's, is sadly mistaken.

    You seem to fear everything that comes out of the mainstream entertainment industry.

    You shouldn't .... their miniscule and meaningless little "symbols" are as irrelevant, as they are.

    As for giving 1-damn about them, I do not ... I have no use for them, or what they now stand for, at all.

    Probably.

    Do I believe they secretly run the world? No. Tea-baggers, Huckabites, FoxNews watchers, and conspiracy theorists believe that.
