What is the harm in Christians believing in conspiracy theories?

 

 

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."  -- quoted by Charles Spurgeon
 

Questions
  1. What possible harm can believing in conspiracies have?
  1. To what extent should we oppose conspiracy thinking in fellow Christians?  Or should we let them be?
  1. Defend, refute or clarify: Standard Christianity believes in a fundamental conspiracy, that there is personified evil subtly working in the world today.  That alone can justify a lot.
