100%, it's just like people who get sucked into any belief in life. They believe it because they need to use it to explain or deal with things they can't.
I suppose you could look on it from the side that they can potentially give people closure or a way to deal with things, if they need it and want to believe it then who am I to judge.
Take max revs guy for instance, he wants to believe that we're all total bellends and we're all to blame for his inane question. It gives him the ability to deal with the situation, if people didn't find a way to deal with things they'd all end up throwing themselves off bridges. It's a bit of an odd analogy but that's just 'cos I don't want the forum to forget him.
