I never mock religious or political beliefs

You should ! It's just as fun as laughing at the chemtrail folks!

Well, I don't because both are often rooted in family or cultural tradition, and that denying even the most delirious religious or political beliefs would be like spitting on these people's whole culture or family or social group.

Conspirationists, on the other end, are usualy isolated individuals who are either extremely naive, or extremely insecure, and who are looking for some kind of superior knowledge to rationalize there fears or have a feeling of superiority over others. Before I didn't really care, but in this digital age the spreading of delirious information labeled a fact has become a habit on social networks, forums and blogs. I think that's a major issue and that it must be fought, because I see more and more "normal" people falling for the hoaxes, and that's not cool.
