QAnon Conspiracies Are Tearing Through Evangelical America

[@anthonydelfino6171]

[@briobarb8525]

@@kiddtuffy Tax the rich first! But we all know that isn't going to happen. We might get to tax the churches...but ONLY if they turned away from standing with the Republicans. If that happened...the Democrats wouldn't have to lift a finger...because the Republicans would tax them then. And they call the Dems the godless evil ones. I don't see the Republicans, the mega or the MAGA churches making any effort to help the poor or needy. They in fact don't even know what Jesus actually stood for while he was alive. They would rather focus on his death being their eternal winning (ticket) to heaven! And the only time they love the babies and children is before they are born. They certainly don't want to help them afterwards. Especially if they aren't white!

[@sybo59]

If i may disagree: Churches are ludicrous and should get no special treatment from the government, whether they delve into politics or not. But taxing a group of people who get together on a voluntary basis sets a terrible precedent (and sadly not a new one).

The pastor is primarily seeking attention. It sounds like he preaches politics and not anything from the Bible. He's telling people what they want to hear and he knows it. He saw an opportunity to be the center of attention and he went for it. He is a dangerous type of person.

[@natewikman]

He is following in a religious tradition though, Apocalypticism. There's always been sects of Christianity that acted with the assumption that Christs return was going to be next week lol. Evangelicals in general focus more on strategically bringing people into the fold like using tents to preach because they used to travel and do this kind of spectacle stuff- there's less focus on the texts and more focus on a personal relationship with Jesus, which tends to also mean living a lifestyle the preacher approves of. It's like the perfect recipe for this kind of Qanon conspiracy stuff to take off in. The scary part is they might actually believe these things. He is narcissistic, but he also values grandiosity- which can fuel delusions.

When education and a tight knit faith community clash, who do the kids side with? I went to school with a lot of Evangelical Christians.

She did have some reasoning skills but they were all based on incorrect facts. She kept pointing to websites that supposedly proved what she said but they were all from "scientists" who were more than a little suspect.

An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception. Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur. "We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks. "We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn. The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information. The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons. "They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things. When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals that will kill their mind and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other diseases for which we will create yet more medicine. We will render them docile and weak before us by our power. They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison. "We will focus their attention toward money and material goods so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may never be one with the oneness of it all. Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives. We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and establish opposites within. We will own both sides. We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan. They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil. "Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure always, for it is the way. We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves. We will foment animosity between them through our factions. When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule, or death, whichever suits us best. We will make them rip each other’s hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend. The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their conflicts we emerge as their rulers. They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long as we see fit. "We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths. We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is accomplished. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger though images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this. The tools will be provided by their labor. We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors. "We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one. This they must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always think they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal. We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total control over them. We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they will have. We willestablish a money system that will imprison them forever, keeping them and their children in debt. "When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world for we shall own all the media. We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment in our favor. When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for they are less than that. They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons. "We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them eternal life, but eternal life they will never have for they are not of us. The recruits will be called “initiates” and will be indoctrinated to believe false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of these groups will think they are one with us never knowing the truth. They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us. For their work they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles, but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive the light and travel the stars. They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know. The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus on it until its too late. Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they are our slaves. "When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them. This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-delusion. When our goal is accomplished a new era of domination will begin. Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established from time immemorial. "But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW.

@@richardpierpoint1415 March on Piedmont. This guy is the Gold Standard according to CNN and Sleepy Joe. On March 25, Cuomo’s health department ordered nursing homes to accept known or suspected covid-19 hospital patients, prohibiting facilities from requiring tests to see whether they were infectious. After a firestorm erupted, on May 3, his administration suddenly changed the way it reported nursing home covid deaths - releasing only the number of deaths that took place inside nursing homes, and not counting those who died after being taken to hospitals. According to a senior Justice Department official, the administration withheld data on private nursing home deaths in New York until the final days of the Trump administration. As a result, the federal government was given bad data about the spread of the pandemic in New York. An Associated Press investigation found that New York under-reported the number of hospital patients recovering from covid-19 who were sent to nursing homes by 40 percent. The real number was more than 9,000 - my mother among them. And the Cuomo administration reported only 8,500 nursing home deaths, when the real number was about 15,000 - an undercount of at least 43 percent. This was more than just a coverup. It impeded our public health response. We now know that New York was the primary source of new infections across the United States. Genetic testing shows that the outbreak in New York was seeded by travelers from Europe, and that it was the New York variant - not the West Coast variant that arrived directly from China - that seeded the rest of the country. The New York Times reported last year that the New York variant was responsible for 70 percent of covid-19 cases in Texas, 78 percent of cases in Wisconsin, 80 percent in Alaska, 84 percent in Arizona and 100 percent in Louisiana. As Nathan Grubaugh, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health, told the Times, “New York was the primary gateway for the rest of the country.” So, understanding how the virus was spreading in New York was critical to stopping it nationwide. But Cuomo’s administration shared inaccurate data with health officials. And then when Justice Department investigators and state lawmakers began asking questions, New York delayed its answers. His administration “froze” (in the words of Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa) and withheld the real data. It was only a court order and the release of a report by the New York state attorney general that forced the governor to admit the true extent of the damage his policy did. Meanwhile, he presented himself to the world as the hero of the covid story - even publishing a book sharing “Leadership Lessons From the COVID-19 Pandemic.” The media played along, holding him up in contrast to President Donald Trump as an example of effective executive leadership in the face of a public health crisis. In November, he received an Emmy award in recognition of “his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of TV to inform and calm people around the world.” No, he used TV to lie to New Yorkers and the world - and his lies cost lives. New York lawmakers are talking about revoking Cuomo’s pandemic emergency powers. That’s a start. But imagine if Trump had done what Cuomo did? We’d have a third impeachment on our hands. Cuomo’s actions certainly merit his removal from office - not just for the coverup, but for the actions he took that impeded our national response to the worst pandemic in American history.

Jesus was a communist, at least with Peter. "Christians" were told to sell all their stuff and give it to Peter for the community. I suppose he would deal with the finances in ways we'll never know. What we do know, and this is in the Bible,, a couple lied to him about the amount of money they got when selling a possession. The husband went to Peter, lied to him about the details and the results of that lie appear to be severe. In my view, Jesus would have told them to keep their money and go away, able to return when ready. For Peter, his choice when dealing with these people was much different. Peter was WRONG. Jesus would encourage sharing but not force it. The man was Ananias and when Peter discovered he was lying about the money, holding some of it back, not only Ananias but also his wife "fell down dead". Now that is in the book of Acts verses 1-10 and that doesn't match up with the teachings and behavior of Jesus Christ at all. So we have a problem right out of the gate with "Christianity" and how, as early as Peter, the actions and concepts are distorted to the point of people dying for lying and not sharing, but anyone who knows the intentions of Jesus would know with 100% certainty that he would have told them he knew they were lying and to go away, only to return when ready for the endeavor. Certainly, it's not grounds for murder, or whatever you wanna call that incident. At any rate, it shows a communal, sharing of resources intention, although they corrupted it from the beginning and Jesus was indeed about sharing, but it is VOLUNTARY. It's voluntary communism, it's certainly not what current Evangelicals support with trump. It's a travesty and an embarrassment to the real intentions of Jesus and they are misguided to the degree of being on the wrong side. It's important to recognize not all "Christians" are fooled by the pro-trump BS these delusional, hate-mongering idiots are propagating.

So, it was very easy to believe all of the crazy "Satanic" theories that spread around. I had actually became rather gullible and would believe almost anything if: 1. It came from a Christian, and 2. It went against the gov't. I heard them in the 80's and I still hear them today. The other part of it is the huge number of gov't officials getting caught in corruption.
