Why do some on here give more credence to conspiracy theories than reality?

It's easier to believe in world-wide conspiracies going back centuries than the dull reality and duller knowledge that no such things exist. It['s also exciting and fills a need to be important in someone's life. 

gullibility where religion is concerned; stupid where politics is concerned.

Because they reflect the general population!

Easier to swallow

Sometimes the long-shot has the better payoff in the end.

Propping up imaginary enemies takes the focus off your own faults for a while.

And for the same reason some people have OCD. They think if they can control their space their "world" is in control. A conspiracy theorist thinks if they know enough about hidden conspiracies, it makes the world makes sense. They are in control. No one else is controlling them.

The truth isn't hard to find if you really want to look for it: follow the money trail to the evil... it will lead you to the pharmaceutical industry, goverments, major religions, and big corporations.

PS. God hates religion.

Well the government has already done stuff like MK Ultra. What else are they hiding from us?

If something is true, itis not a conspiracy theory. 

Because they're sick.  Look at the crazies refusing to get the covid vaccination because it would "change" their RNA.

Covid is NOT going away until everyone has either had it or has been vaccinated.

That's how we got rid of small pox and other contagious diseases.  

they're living in a world of their own
