With an enormously consequential election two days away, we’ll examine the rise in conspiracy theories (some downright bizarre) that used to reside at the fringes of society, but have moved into the mainstream. One journalist calls this the “crank realignment.” How do these beliefs take hold, what is the impact on society, and how can we  pre-bunk and debunk these ideas when they pop up on social media, in conversations, or in our own susceptible minds? And, in the end, why do we believe ANYTHING we believe, from faith to parenting practices to dietary choices? If you have the opportunity before this service, visit debunkbot.com and take their revealing online quiz that tests your beliefs against AI (artificial intelligence). Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker preaching with Worship Leader Jan Apland-Curtis. Music from Mary Reese and a Time for All Ages from Tara Toler. NAYA’s COO Tamara Henderson will share with us prior to our First Sunday potluck.
