How ought Christians view conspiracies?

Discuss!

Please try to steer clear of specific, real life examples since that might bring us into the forbidden realm of politics. (Made up examples are probably fine.)

Trying to steer us clear of politics? Trying to keep us nice and brainwashable, so that when you do talk about politics, our moldable minds will automatically agree with you? KNEW there was something goin' on! You're welcome everyone. I just revealed the first MV Conspiracy. :)

Facedesk Sam, Sam, Sam! And no, you didn't. Matthew's was the first conspiracy…and this is not one! :P

Do you mean actual conspiracies that occurred (like a plot to take over the throne of a kingdom), or conspiracy theories that are uncertain and may or may not have occurred, or may or may not happen in the future?

All of the above. :)

Deadpool and I agree.

What was Matthew's conspiracy? :P

Y'know when there was Tim Amorso (spelling) at the top of the leaderboard? Well, Matthew didn't think he was actually doing it right cause he had perfect recall and reference and so many verses. So he wanted to email Andy or Alex and ask. And so Sam called it a conspiracy. :P

So you need to be a loser to be honest? Alright Entire Bible people, forget it! Matthew says its hopeless.

Not really, it was just a little unusual for someone to memorize several chapters of the bible each day. Hopefully he was using it correctly and really has memorized over 16,000 verses perfectly, that would be a great encouragement to the rest of us!

^^^^^

I really don't know much about conspiracies or anything… but if you remember how when Matthew suspected something we encouraged him to approach the people who were the potential 'offence' and ask them about it. Perhaps that wasn't a good example of a conspiracy (in fact, I don't think it was at all), but the Bible gives very good advice for handling offences like that (Matthew 18:15-18).
^So sorry if this is way off topic… I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about here.^

What about the Bible Bee conspiracy poem I wrote? Does that apply to this topic?

Well, that wasn't exactly what I was thinking of. :)

Okay, I think I was unclear in the way I posted the question. Maybe a little background will help.
I had this question in a school project about a month ago. (The school project is over, by the way, so I'm not cheating. :) ) It was part of a study of A Tale of Two Cities where there are real conspiracies occuring among the French lower classes. So my question was specifically about whether Christians may be part of any conspiracy, how they should view them, and such like. Scripture verses to think on would John 18:20 and Judges 3 (the story of Ehud). I still haven't made up my mind on the subject, so I thought maybe y'all could help out.
