Well, if we've been being lied to for hundreds of years now, with fake science, then the various details of reality have to be researched, from the basic elements on up, by scientific bodies who are not a part of "the system". We have to discover the truth, including the laws of reality, that we actually live under. This is uncharted territory, that we are talking about. That having been said, this idea is a very old one. The ancient peoples of the world thought in terms of a flat-earth model. Our common distaste for religion, brought on by the various atrocities committed in the name of God, ran us right into the hands of these lying s.o.b's. Now we have to back-track, to figure out where we went wrong.
RE: How bad are we being lied to? This topic is bringing atheists back to religion!
