Absolutely, beliefs can take people on some wild journeys! It's fascinating, and sometimes concerning, to witness the extreme ends of human beliefs and how they can evolve over time.
From worshipping the sun like ancient Egyptians to thinking one is a plant and even encountering self-proclaimed Atlantians in bars, it's clear that the realm of beliefs knows no bounds. The human mind has an incredible capacity for imagination and persuasion, which can lead to both remarkable discoveries and some rather peculiar belief systems.
Studying human behavior, cults, conspiracies, psychology (and I'm sure many other intriguing subjects) as a hobby gives you an interesting perspective on just how diverse and sometimes downright bizarre our belief systems can be. It certainly makes for quite the adventure!
Just remember to approach these situations with a healthy dose of skepticism and critical thinking. While it's important to be open-minded towards different perspectives, it's equally crucial not to fall down the rabbit hole of unfounded claims or get lost in far-fetched theories.
