Other things my housemate believes: 9/11 was an inside job. The Roman Catholic Church invented Islam. Refugees get tons of money and housing and are treated really well, including the ones on Manus Island. The media is covering up a massive Muslim gang problem. The Virgin Mary was artificially inseminated by aliens. The Egyptian pyramids were generators for Tesla energy. Russian time travelers have gone back in time to ensure we live in the best timeline. White people were responsible for the American civil rights movement.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has failed to meet his own deadline on the introduction of "urgent" laws to remove religious schools' right to discriminate against LGBTI students.
Talks between the government and Labor did not reach a resolution on Thursday, the final day of this parliamentary sitting fortnight, meaning the issue will stay unresolved until late November at the earliest.

I am literally the most socially isolated person in history. I have literally no social contacts. And I don�t believe in ANYTHING.
I think conspiracy theories are a way of asserting control over a chaotic world by finding a hidden meaning for things. For more, read Umberto Eco�s Foucault�s Pendulum.
