BB -maybe that is a simplistic view
I'm inclined to think a simplistic view is closer to the truth than conspiracy theories.
we seem to be if a more secular society here in the west, these days.
i'm speaking from the uk.. with the lack of belief in god/s, i'm wondering if all the seeming (note: i said seeming!
), deification of people like greta thunberg, george floyd and celebs amongst others, if people who have no real belief system, are filling the gap left by god with people?.

Dissy - punkofnice, do you disbelieve the science that was taught to you in your school courses?
What school courses? I went to Walton Secondary Modern here in the UK. Science is on the move with new things discovered all the time. There are changes.
Here's the thing Dissy, old pal. 10 renowned scientists say a thing is 'so'. Another 10 renowned scientists say it 'isn't so'.
Who do you believe? I'm not a scientist, but I'll bet you a pound to a pinch of salt that the 10 that get traction are the ones pushing the current agenda. I wouldn't mind betting that there are of those 10, ones that don't believe what they're saying, but it's money coming in to them.
You see, I don't claim to 'know' just because some bald headed bloke in a white lab coat tell me stuff, or some pseudo celeb like Saint Greta of Thunberg Grifters and Co is on TV. TV is no authority on much. It's all fiction.
Do you disbelieve the history that was taught to you in school?
Yes. I do disbelieve, but not completely. History is written by the victors. I don't believe everything I read or am told. Read between the lines. Was King Henry the 8th good or bad?
How about the other subjects which were taught to you in school?
English for instance? I believe in English because not only do I speak it but so do others. The teacher used to chalk words on the blackboard too.
Woodwork. I believe in woodwork because I can make things out of wood. Metalwork too.
I was taught Evolution. Is that true? Should they have taught Creation? Islam?
Like I said Dissy, old pal, me ol' duck, I had a lifetime believing what WTB$ told me. I believed my missus loved me. It ended up as all lies.
Won't get Fooled again, Dissy and neither should you.
Now. what are your thoughts on Evolution being taught at my school back in the 1970's?

Diisy - PBS
What's that? An American TV show? Not a show or channel we get here in the UK. I avoid American TV like the plague to be honest with you.
Greta is interviewing scientists about climate change and teaching the views that climate scientists are saying.
I take all this with a pinch of salt. We all should. It depends who's in the payroll of whom.
After being lied to by the WBT$, I don't believe things just because 'scientists' make claims. What about the 'scientists' that disagree?
The Thunbergs are a as I stated....on the grift and will do anything to get attention.
As Pontious when he was a Pilot asked, 'what is truth?'
With respect, it's all just blokes and birds supposing, guessing, gas lighting and making money.
As the Who sang, Won't get fooled again.
joseph and mary were not in a spiritually adulterous relationship with the roman authorities, the "legs of iron".
joseph and mary were not perfect.
the governing body of the modern-day organization of jehovah's witnesses is not perfect.
I don't believe in all this Bible stuff. However, when I did, I thought that the 'Organisation(tm)' had become 'apostate(tm)' like the ancient tribes in Israel were supposed to have done. It didn't go well for them, apparently. I asked of the JWs....
Why would you share in their 'apostasy(tm)' by remaining with them?
Have you considered the price you will pay for this at the hand of God?
Nowwhat? - Exactly how I felt because I was a Jobot at the time.
i am still on my holiday around the uk and currently am in the midlands if anyone is around i’d love to catch up - hope you are all well xx.
Dodgy Knees - Peterborough. When I was young I thought it was the most boring place in Britain with the most grumpy people
You should try Corby.
You are not wrong. And now we have grumpy, stabby people with 'cultural enrichment' thrown in as a side.
But then, I'm used to southerners so my standards are pretty low
Funny. A lot of Peterborough was originally made up of Northerners that worked on the Railways.
Then the escapees from London moved in, in the '70s-80s. Now it's a hotch potch of all types of grumpy people.
BTTT.
I agree with BB. Touring a country is different to the depressing stagnation of living there.
so my grandparents got a letter from a jw.
they have gotten these kind of letters over the years and they always give them to me and this time i got fed up and i wrote the guy back.
just wanted to post my reply letter in case anyone could use a chuckle on a sunday morning.
Owly - A slave who gives orders is still the funniest thing to me.
This is by far my favourite line.
It's a pity it'll go straight in the shredder and viewed as Satanic lies.
i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..
I thought this had been going on since 2014?
Why has it suddenly become 'the current thing' that we must all follow like sheep?
A smokescreen for something else?

DJW - Greta Thunberg's message is a truthful one, which is well founded in scientific knowledge.
Saint Greta hasn't got any message. She just whinges from a script prepared for her. She offers no solutions. Her family are grifters. Failed actors and showbiz people looking for a grift to get money. What scientific evidence have they offered and from what sources? I'll bet, nothing!
Humpster. Deary, me, deary me. What are you telling us? Trump? I guess you are referring to your Donald? That fixes nothing if you're not in America. There are other places in the world apart from America, you know. Politics? How and tribal you are, ducky-egg.
even in jesus’s day, humans had chromosomes.
and so did jesus —because he was human.
so let’s say jesus took a dna test, his mitochondrial dna would go back to eve but interestingly jc also would inherit dna from sinful adam on his mother’s side because his mother mary passed on to jc dna from both adam and eve.
First. Prove to me that Jesus actually existed.
Just because the Bible says so doesn't make it true.
where is the real evidence?
