Conspiracy Theories and What to Do About Them [Blog Audio]

Conspiracy theories are nothing new. It's an important topic, because conspiracies do happen. And, where people in positions of power conspire to abuse that power for immoral ends, good people ought to oppose it.

Discussing conspiracy theories, however, is difficult:

1. First, as Joseph Uscinski points out, the term “conspiracy theory” can be weaponized and used to deride ideas and people.
2. Second, conspiracy theories are often political, and therefore evoke our own biases. 
3. Third, conspiracy theories may be true or false, which can complicate how we view or use the term itself.

 Perhaps even more important than the truth behind conspiracy theories is the truth behind our motives for being drawn to them in the first place.

So, how can we do our best to avoid falling prey to or becoming complicit in promoting false conspiracy theories? 

Since conspiracy theories will always be with us, we want to give you three biblical principles to help you.
