I have always resisted Conspiracy Theories. But now I think that it might not be a bad thing to at least look into these things. There have been theories like this around for years. Perhaps from the very beginning of time. I decide to create a blog and look int some of these. Perhaps they hold water and perhaps they don't.
When the Anti-Christ comes on the scene, my guess is that it will be called a Conspiracy Theory. After all, this person will be saying that he can do a lot of good. Lots and lots of people will love him. So it stands to reason that opposing him will not be popular. Im guessing that opposing the possibility of manipulating the weather is not popular either. At least not with the government, if they are indeed playing with this.
The main reason I have avoided them is that I think they promote fear. When I think of such out-there theories, the 1st thing that comes to my mind is the X-Files. In the X-Files, Mulder was convinced that the government was hiding the existence of aliens. He was out to prove that the feds were lying . The government not only knew about aliens, but were actively studying them and even using them as weapons.
The moral of this show was that we should mis-trust our government and all leaders. After all, they are all out to get us, right? Well, lets think a bit about that. Is the government hiding things from us? Well, of course they are. Thats one of those duh things. As a responsible government, there are certain things that the people just don't need to know. For matters of national security, unnecessary panic and other such reasons. There are lots and lots of things that God hides from us. Why? For largely the same reasons. We don't need to know all the details of how God runs the universe and how it works. If we knew the things that God knows, we would panic, we would question his leadership and we would try to change things cause we would think we could do it better than him.
Take for example the whole alien thing. If we knew for sure that aliens existed and where they were, we would go pick a fight with them. We can't even get along with others on our own planet. Do you really think we could coexist peacefully with another race on another planet? Either we would destroy them or they us. So the responsible thing for God to do is to hide their existence. (That is assuming that aliens do actually exist)
Even of our government knew about aliens, they should not release this information. People would panic and cause problems.
I digressed a bit. Sorry about that. I am a Christian. I don't want to promote panic and fear. But...I do think we need to be aware. Even though I support the governments hiding certain things from us. I also believe that they need to be accountable. If they are playing with certain things that are dangerous, like trying to manipulate the weather for example, they need to not do that. Any government needs to have a level of accountability. Of course this would not apply to God since he cannot do evil. He is completely good and we can trust his ways. So he is the exception. But people are not god and are not good. So we can do evil. The trick is how a government can hide things from people cause they don't need to know about certain things but at the same time be accountable. How can the government be held accountable for something that we don't know about. There lies the dilemma.
I will post these things as I become aware of them. I know of a few curious things right now that I will post soon. As I said, I don't want to promote fear. But, I do want us to be aware. After all, God told us to be as shrewd as snakes but as gentle as doves. So even God is telling us that we need to be aware of things and to question things. But at the same time, to be loving, respectful of our leaders. I think this is a very very precarious tightrope to walk. So I will try very hard to not promote unnecessary fear, but at the same time to make us all aware.
