      The book store near where I grew up had a section with all these types of books. When I was young, I went out of my way to check them out because I was fascinated with ufo’s and conspiracies and wanted to buy one. I remember flipping through a few books and it was all pure word salad. I was like, how am I supposed to learn about all these cool supposed theories when they’ve all lost the ability to command the English language let alone some sort of coherent narrative thread.

        I did read a few pages of a book like this once in a bookstore I worked in, had a bit more of a religious bent. We used to read each other passages of crazy for amusement. I’m sure there’s plenty of conservative Christians who believe this stuff. Ever seen snake handling church?
