Let me guess: this show was written by someone who sees faith as inherently more virtuous than fact. Right?

I am not sure why people are so attracted to conspiracy theories. I can easily see how they get trapped in them (by discounting any evidence to the contrary as "what they want you to think" and therefore tainted), but what baffles me is how they get trapped in them in the first place.

And yeah, that "Moral people believe in God" thing is an awkward bit of circular reasoning. (Like there's any other kind, heh.)
