Perhaps you can't read - you have no idea what mindset I have, you just assume it is the opposite of yours.
Once again, you impose boogeyman logic by suggesting the need to question 'the powers that be'. There is no such thing, there is only chaos. There are just things happen in a big tangled web of causation, no invisible hand.. no 'powers that be' just agents - individuals, organizations, governments, nation-states - actors who can, either individually or collectively, make decisions that have intended and unintended consequences.
And yes, your beliefs are religious in nature. Human's have an innate drive to hold religious-type beliefs. Organized monotheism has been the staple outlet (in terms of raw hits) for these beliefs for several thousand years. Since you are a self-proclaimed atheist, monotheism doesn't fill that void. So, you fill the void by projecting your need onto things other than organized religion.
In short, everyone needs to believe in something to maintain the suspended disbelief necessary to live a happy existence. I'm sure 9/11 is just one example of where you project your need to hold beliefs.
Don't worry about me Caligari, I am not a lost soul. My mind is not a playground for propaganda espoused by the boogeyman. You don't need to save me and baptize me into the "9/11 truth seekers of latter day Internet detectives"
