Last weekend I saw an old friend, a guy I haven't seen in like 15+ years. Dude I used to do music with. He moved to another city several hours away, lost touch.
Last time I saw him he had become incredibly religious, and I was prepared for that upon reuniting. Thought I would just not bring it up, as I'm not the religious type.
We're getting along fine, and then outta nowhere he asks me if I've heard of 'flat earth' and I say 'Yeah' and he says 'it's real!' And then proceeds to rant about how the earth is flat. Ice walls, perspective, the whole nine yards. Even threw in some Bible quotes to back up his story.
Then it was onto the moon landing being fake (supposedly mankind has never been to space), 911 being fake, Illuminati, you name it. He ranted passionately for an hour. I'm used to reading this stuff online, but it's another thing to be trapped in a room with it.
Crazy part is I didn't even argue with him. I could tell he was DEEP IN the belief. I just let him rant, and kept trying to change the subject when I thought I had a second to distract him.
This guy is in his late 30s and has 2 kids. He's raising human beings.
