Bertrand Russell in his autobiography has a chapter starting “I have met people who believe...” and went on for 3 pages listing an amazing variety of insanely idiotic beliefs. You can not read it without howling with laughter at our human folly. It just comes with the territory, like the hills and lakes and Walmart stores. There is no known cure, all we can do is be amazed at how bizarre it is.

I just try to see the humor in how weird people can be.
