Looks can be deceiving, especially when one doesn't understand what's happening. Do I need to make the unicorn reference again?

It used to be that people looked up at the night sky and saw things that didn't move in the same way as the other stars. Those people couldn't explain what those moving stars were, so they thought they were gods. Today, we call them planets.

Chemtrails is just the modern version of that style of religion. You see something in the sky that you don't immediately understand, so you make up (or find others that have made up) a fantastic and impossible story to explain the phenomenon. As time goes by and the true explanations for the phenomenon are brought to your attention, you flatly reject them, because they interfere with your new religion. No blasphemy will be tolerated, and if anyone attempts it, they're to be shut down and dismissed outright. Sound about right?

Yes. Very obviously, in fact.

Contrail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Side note: I've been wondering for a while if this thread is an example of Poe's Law. I haven't mentioned it because I'm having fun either way, but what do the other sane people think? Is the OP for real, or is he/she just having fun?

how does unicorns relate to what some people see on a dialy basis.....

If you show me that picture as well as a thousand people with sightings of it... I would say it could be plausible. you got one picture.... nope

I believe in ghosts (sorta), UFO's, Bigfoot, and that Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy for the CIA/Mafia.

But heck even I don't believe in chemtrails!

It's the same thing. Here, I'll explain.

You're seeing something all the time, but what you're claiming it is, is a fantastically elaborate fantasy. THAT is the unicorn - it's the thing which doesn't exist. If you believe in chemtrails, you may as well believe in unicorns, leprechauns and Santa Claus, too. Your acceptance that chemtrails are real demonstrates what you've set the bar at when it comes to evidence, and all of the above are in the same category.

Someone showed you a photo of something you'd seen and didn't understand, gave you an explanation that you, for whatever reason, determined was logical, and you just believed it, with no empirical evidence to back it up. This is what children do when their parents tell them about Santa Claus for the first time. They just accept it on pure faith, and because they want it to be true.

Or maybe they just know that there's a patent for a Santa Claus detector, and if there's a patent for it, then logically, one can reach no other conclusion than Santa Claus must be real. Right?

I like your persistence... but not in a contrail.... chemtrail yes I can see. its not a photo, I have seen it real live.

I can't believe a contrail would last for hours in the sky and stretch for miles on end.
