Solid evidence of what though?

I have no doubts about our need to try to make sense of things, the fact
that we tend to interpret things from our own limited experience, and human
imagination is almost boundless. I also know people will believe anything
they want to believe, but also that people can be manipulated into believing
things that are totally untrue, people can be lied to basically.

I don't blame people for wanting to believe in fairy stories and there may
an element of truth and fact in some of them and the truth may be more
surprising than we think. But until we have absolute incontrovertible truth
I think it's quite dangerous believing in things on the basis of hearsay and
nothing more than circumstantial evidence.

Because if you can believe things with little if any solid evidence then you
can be manipulated. For example where are Saddam's Weapons of mass
destruction? Well if millions of people can believe some guy rose from the
dead 2 thousand years ago, or could believe in 1930s Germany that all the
evils of the World were the work of the Jews, instead of as some say today
Alien Reptoids LOL, then it is plain people can be made to believe anything,
even in a democracy.
