How to convince people to believe in you ?
How to convince people to believe in you ? This is what religious and pseudo-scientific people do online to convince others.
1. If someone refute your baseless claim, use the old dialogue- Truth is Bitter
2. Quote/misquote famous personalities, out or relevance or irrelevance and hope that their academic success will help
3. Use screen names as rational…or something convincing people that you are open minded
4. Escape all the replies which would contradict you…and you have to be in position to defend your statements.
5. Instead of defending what you said, write more and more, it would show that you have something to say.
6. A good way to escape logic is to say that your logic is wrong
7. Continuously repeat your points, till thread ends, so, that someone new may read it, and generally people skip reading whole thread, and read the last sentences, so, you can make an illusion to people that your point was proven and are truth
For example-
Say this- so, there are no contradictions in my holy book. Or ha…i win, so, i win..etc etc even if your are being pawned all the time
8. Find couple of websites and blogs which has same shitty claims and paste them in your argument, proving your point. What a good way to prove points nahi ??
9. Do not try to study scientific method, or see the links which other people provide you, for example, when disproving evolution, it can be done, without knowing anything much about evolution, forget science, reading about what you talking about is not necessary, you just have to have good communication skills, and arguments based on belief.
10. Escape all the replies which would contradict you…and you have to be in position to defend your statements.
11. Keep in touch with latest updates in the world
For example, if you know MJ died of drug poisoning
You can make an argument that
Since MJ died, its failure of Allopathy
12. Be a conspiracy theorist, people love that.
I found these strategies used by religions and pseudo-scientific people using on online forums, communities and on mailing lists. I hope it helps others to see through it with help of these 12 points.
