One of the tenets of the Nazi party was: People will more readily believe a big lie than a small one. I'm curious to know firstly whether you think this claim is true or not, and if it is, then why we would be more inclined to believe that big lie. What then differentiates a big lie from a small one?
On a related note, can our percieved truths act like a spectrum, where something appears so inconceivable that we think that therefore it's true?

I guess I must always be the one to get the first word in. Well, I think that we are told a massive lie, however we have no other information proving the contrary, then we will assume it to be true. I think the "spectrum" theory would work in this given situation. I'm tired, and I want to go to bed soon, so I won't rant on.
As long as we're deviating: Aliens do exist in all probability. We may never find them, but they exist. The thought that this pathetic little rock is the only one that holds such a "glorious" creature such as man, is quite frankly incredibly egotistical and big-headed. Anyhoo, I've already posted my views on the lie. If you want to debate the existants of extre-terrestrials (what Anya and I have meant by "Aliens"), then do so on another post.
