Just trying to be clear, because I think **reef shark** doesn’t understand the distinction between forums. The title of the thread “why close…” implies that you are questioning a moderator decision. Such threads belong in the ATMB forum, that’s the place to question moderator decision, that’s the place to disucss moderator actions. The original debate (on how the illuminati control everything, I guess, I’m not at all sure\*) can be discussed in another forum, such as Great Debates. So, we draw this line between between (a) discussion about mod decision to close the thread and (b) debate about the illumanati and Pearl Harbor. The first belongs here; the second belongs in a different thread. They’re different topics. Clearer? - I really didn’t understand the bit about the illuminati controlling the big bang. ---

This has been a delightful thread, although I too am puzzled as to which forum is its rightful home. I propose the creation of a new forum, to be called _Off My Meds_. I believe it would be popular and entertaining and might make the mods’ job easier. ---

> [@reef\_shark](#): > > Still no reason for denying Jesus as the messiah? > [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > How do you know that Jesus wasn’t a member of the Illuminati? A member of? Dude was and still is\*\* the \*\*Illuminati. He’s the Third point of the holy trinity. Trinity - Triangles - Pyramid - All Seeing Eye. The use of both “In God We Trust” and the All Seeing Eye on US currency is a blatant shout out to the fact they represent the same Authority. He promoted peace among men, and “died” for his trouble. Thus ensuring that from that day people would wage war upon each other in his name. This gives the ‘rabble’ an outlet for their anger over their situation in life and prevents them from disrupting the status quo. A similar tactic was his teaching that anyone could obtain eternal bliss, simply by getting on with their lot in life and praising him. Again reducing the risk to his power structure from rebellion. He ensures that the most dangerous nations in the world are governed by those pandering to their more extreme religous bases. This keeps those who are capable of collecting evidence and reasoning from it, from discovering the truth about him. As long as those in positions of ‘power’ distrust science and scientists they will not be in a position to affect him. Illuminati sounds a bit like illuminated. To illuminate something you need a source of light. If someone provides you a source of light they could be called a _lighbringer_. And of course Lucifer is known as the lightbringer. Think for a moment! An operation designed to misdirect is called a _black_ flag op. Black is dark, the opposite of light. And I’ve already proved that Jesus _is_ the Illuminati. Therefore claiming that Lucifer is the Illuminati is a black flag operation by Jesus himself, designed to distract his opponents while simultaneously _proving his existence to the whole world._ It’s right there sheeple! In black and white!!! ---
