I really wonder what makes some people think the way that they do. How is it that some people don’t have the cognitive ability to decipher fact and reality from fiction and fanciful ideas?

This really is something that I have trouble wrapping my head around. And this story is a clear example of one of these times.

A man, who is allegedly a conspiracy theorist, had killed his own children with a spearfishing gun. But the reason as to why he did it is truly bizarre.

He killed them because they inherited his wife’s “serpent DNA”. I don’t know why he didn’t kill her as well. Maybe he just wasn’t able to, but thankfully she’s still alive though she has to live the rest of her life without her two children because of her delusional ex-husband.

The thing is, he now realizes that he was delusion. He stated, “I was deceived. I was deceiving myself. I know now that the [serpent] DNA thing was a delusion in my own mind. I made myself believe something that wasn’t there.

So, apparently he believed the idea of lizard people, which to be quite honest, I’ve always heard about this, but I never thought anyone really took it seriously. Unfortunately, I was wrong. From what I can gather, he believed that his wife was a lizard person and that his children inherited that DNA from her and so there were lizard people, too.

I don’t actually know the motivation behind the killings though. Was it to prevent them from taking over the world? Was it just the fact that he doesn’t like lizard people? I really don’t know.

But no matter how to look at it, it’s a sad and unfortunate situation. People say that you can’t just a book by it’s cover, but I think you can sometimes. And to be quite honest, they look like a normal family and by mere appearance I wouldn’t think that he was a nutjob. But perhaps if I knew him and had spoken with him personally, I would have thought differently.
