- knowtheory 16y agoThere were a lot of people who believed this (remember the # of people who voted for Bush). And people assert that they believed it to this day. I'm not sure what the point is of not taking their word for what they believed. They can still be mendacious, intelligence fixing idiots, while being true believers.
