Agenticity
Ah, therein lies the rub. Regardless of what one believes about Elvis, JFK, Area 51 or the moon landings, there ARE intelligences that shape our world. But since the "west" has become "post-christian", demonic and angelic influence has been consigned to the "nut-case" bin - which suits Satan just fine, as he operates exceptionally well in the absence of recognition. It is true that all of us are susceptible to going off on a tangent with conspiracy theories (CTs), myself included. But here is truth: there is a lot more going on around us every day than we could ever think or imagine - just because we can't see or measure the spiritual world with a slide rule or microscope doesn't mean it isn't there, or that it is not affecting / effecting each and every one of us.
For myself, I am putting my money on the revelation of how this existence REALLY played by God at the end of time being far more "shocking" and "unbelievable" that the weirdest, nuttiest CT's being dreamed up today. And let us not forget: in this age of deceit (which is most certainly a fact, not an opinion - at least for those who compare the lies that wash out of the mouths of governments and media outlets the world over with God's perfect truth in the Bible), telling the truth, or even believing in it, is most certainly a revolutionary act - and not everyone likes revolutionaries... (esp those who want to keep their gravy trains on the rails - isn't that right, Reverend Gore?).
