I say you're mistaken because you are - your interpretation of what I'm saying is simply not true, and now you've misunderstood me again. I never made that assumption and I certainly never accused you of lying to push an agenda; I know that you honestly believe these things to be true; I would simply ask you to remain open to all possibilities.
You accuse me of not wanting to look at both sides of the story, yet that is exactly what I'm doing and exactly what you refuse to do! I am open to the possibility that either side could be right - there are compelling arguments both for and against and I try to weigh them all. On the other hand, you simply believe all the ones that say the theories are true and completely shut yourself out to those who disagree, denying any possibility that they're right.
I never questioned faith! To suggest I did is to miss the point completely. I used faith as an analogy, to explain how open-mindedness is ultimately the only "reasonable" position to take on matters of belief; and that's exactly what conspiracy theories are.
Being agnostic I'd have thought you would understand this concept; do you not see the similarity between youself and a person preaching religion? Much like them, you absolutely believe in your cause - so much so that you have complete disregard for anyone who says anything against it.
For every scrap of "proof" in favor of these theories, there is counter-proof. To lock yourself into believing one or the other is to have no objectivity, no chance of seeing things in an unbiased way.
It is no different to religion, and I cannot comprehend how a person could be agnostic toward religion yet completely close-minded on issues such as these.
