In this same broad frame of evangelical belief, the Catholic church is anti-Christian. And so we find that the LUCIFER Telescope conspiracy appeals to some far-right evangelical Christians (mostly of various Baptist sects), in that its antagonists are devilish, and a particular telescope believed to be used in a devilish manner. In Christian mythology, Lucifer is a name for the devil. What tribe could possibly have a problem with a telescope, to the point that they'd embrace an implausible conspiracy theory that blames some global evil on a telescope? The short answer is that it's the same tribe that dislikes the character Lucifer, unsurprisingly. To understand this conspiracy theory, we have to start by answering that initial question. Because "the LUCIFER Telescope conspiracy" is a pretty cool-sounding name, as far as conspiracy theories go.įor the "Project Lucifer" conspiracy theory claiming NASA plans to blow up the planet Jupiter, see episode #143.

And so we might at first balk when we hear of the LUCIFER Telescope conspiracy theory - who could possibly hate telescopes? Today we're going to dive into this most intriguing conspiracy theory - which even includes ancient aliens - to see if whatever it's about is as cool as its name. This goes for every demographic and for every tribe. If you're anticorporate, you're more likely to embrace conspiracy theories that claim corporations are behind some global evil. If you're a racist, you're more likely to embrace conspiracy theories that pin the blame for something on whatever race you don't like. Any given conspiracy theory that finds broad appeal tends to stroke the beliefs, morals, or preferred world views of its believers.
