For a reason that totally escapes me, some people feel a strong need to believe in this sort of nonsense.
I used to work with a guy who was absolutely convinced that invisible UFOs were watching him 24 hours a day and he would try to get in a heated argument with anyone who didn't believe it.
He actually sent away for detailed plans on how to convert his truck to run on water. It cost him $50, not counting the cost to repair his engine
