Understanding Conspiracy Theories
Was COVID-19 designed to kill Republican voters? Did the moon landing actually take place in a movie studio? Was the World War II Holocaust a myth? Was the election stolen from Trump? Is Bigfoot the result of government genetic testing gone bad? If you’re a Christian and you love a good conspiracy theory, then this […]
