    Conspiracy Theories: A Symptom of Bad (Often Religious) Ideas

    Do you believe in any conspiracy theories? If your answer is yes, chances are that belief is predicated on a deeper belief that constitutes a significant part of your worldview. In this way, conspiracy theories are often believed due to mandatory assumption rather than their evidential basis. Conspiracy belief is not always, but often, a symptom of bad ideas.Uploaded 01-06-17Whether you're religious or atheist, examine your core beliefs. Do they demand that you accept anything which is without evidence? If so, I charge you to question your ideas and move your worldview a bit closer to reality.Subscribe for more videos on pseudoscience, skepticism, and atheism!This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.*Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

Subjected to a tiny bit of scrutiny, however, it's shown to be total nonsense. Uploaded 06-05-17Here I tackle the "research" presented on their website, as well as their certification process. There's plenty still to be criticized, namely the numerous spelling errors and the ridiculous process by which Gary Young developed the Raindrop Technique.Check the site out for yourself: http://www.raindroptraining.com/Subscribe for new videos every week!This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.*Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA
