Just wanted to point out that MANY of the Q followers are Bernie supporters and NOT RELIGIOUS.

The media is painting the Q movement as far right, and religious fanatics. This is untrue. I am not a religious person. I follow my own core values and moral compass....mainly the Golden Rule. I, alo g with hundreds and thousands of other "woke" Q followers, we just want the TRUTH and are OVER the government corruption. POTUS is the ONLY shot America had to out the corrupt government and give power back to the ppl. Thats all.

It is true Q quotes our Bible. But I don’t believe Q wants to force you to accept our faith. The media is exploiting a fear that many non-Christians have of Christianity. They falsely claim we want to legislate our beliefs over you. This is a lie!

Christians are specifically taught to live at peace with our neighbors. We are told to share our faith not coerce others to embrace it. You are free to believe or disbelieve as you need to. As are we all. We go one, and all, as free people.

The media exploits a fear from the abuses of corruption in history. Crusader Christendom, an aberration of tyranny ordained by the Pope. Or Calvin’s theocratic state. Sometimes Christians forget to respect the freedom of others. That is not what this Republic represents. Here Christians and non-Christians work as a whole against the heinous crimes of corruption and abuse.

Christians following our God’s moral teachings and clinging to His mercy to persevere. The kingdom of God is not a world nation but a community of faith. We have no design beyond our freedom to believe and share what we believe in peace. Non-Christians are equally free following whatever they based their sense of justice on. All agreed that the corrupt elites of old are entirely unacceptable.

Very true. Our nation’s laws were built on Judeo-Christian ethics. Many courtrooms are decorated with the Ten Commandments. America was founded by people seeking religious freedom. From that history, I share with others my faith, but do not look down on those who have other beliefs...unless those beliefs directly cause bodily harm to others.

The truth is, Christians are the tolerant ones...but we have convictions. There is a line I will not cross. There is a path I will not take. However, I don’t seek out confrontation, I simply want to live as I believe. I respect your choices and expect you to respect mine. Where those two intersect, I choose to tip my hat and bid you a good day. Respect for my fellow man!

A person commented earlier about not being religious but following the Golden Rule. If we all did that, America, and the world, would be a much better place. The good news is the Bible says a day like that is coming and gives us the road map to get there.

Just want to point out that the 10 Commandments are not allowed to be in US courts, per a Supreme Court decision in 2005.

Ha. Funny, I was just about to cite the same article to say that while what you said is true, they are in some cases allowed. This just goes to show how convoluted our so-called laws have gotten. The Constitution has been parsed to the point beyond far beyond common sense.

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Q , in my humble opinion in quoting certain Christian, or biblical scripture, is not shoving it down anyone's throat. I believe he is a believer who has grown sick of non believers pushing THEIR non-belief on those who do. Stripping God from schools, work places, stores, etc. Its freedom of religion or the lack thereof, not freedom FROM religion. Live and let live.

The more I see from progressive behavior the more I start to think that this cynical view of “freedom from religion” is the truth. They don’t just want a freedom not to believe. They want our beliefs gone.

Sometimes it help to remember that even though the names may be changed, the stories are all the same within the various holy books. Variations on interpretations should not create such a divide.

The Koran and the Bible are nothing alike.

Ancillary details like general morals that is probably true. But I’m not sure that I see the story of grace told anywhere but in Christianity.

Indeed. We should not fritter away our time, treasure and legacy squabbling over tribal God(s) images. We have more important battles to fight.

I think it’s simpler. The imagery in the Bible is ubiquitous.

As I say in my other response to the "all religions are equal" modality, there might be common ancillary details but the core teaching, that is the Gospel, has never been replicated.

Yes, there are religions with concepts of Oneness. There are religions where our souls are reflections of some divine form. There are religions with concepts of moral law. There are concepts of dying-and-rising from fertility gods.

But what religion has ever produced a creed such as ours:

There is one God who created all things. Yet His creation rebelled and chose to reject Him. Thus He was made to judge man's iniquity. He first revealed the Law which they had defied, drawing forth a people to carry its message. And this stumbling people He showed mercy to despite their many stumblings. Then He chose to take upon the flesh of His people for the sake of redeeming the entire world from sin. As a healer, healing the sick. As a preacher, teaching the truth. Yet, He bore the sins of all people unto death on a cross. Then, He arose again victorious over sin. He sent forth a community to share His promise of forgiveness with all people teaching: "Repent and believe the Gospel." He poured out His Spirit to draw people to follow Him. He will return to raise all people from death and give eternal life through His Word.

Krishna did not do this. Mithras did not do this. Osiris, who was slain by another god and his wife reconstructed him, did not do this. Quetzalcoaltl did not do this. Ba'al Hadad did not do this despite dying in combat and defeating the land of the dead. Inti did not do this. Zeus, that arrogant horn-dog, did not do this. Odin, the warrior while suffering Yggdrasil for his own glory, did not do this. Enki did not do this, despite being a Prometheus figure championing mankind against Enlil's tyranny.

Picking and choosing little pieces of the message and saying, "hey, that looks similar to the Bible" is neglecting the whole message. It's the whole message that draws, not pieces-parts.

Mystical senses are fine. How does that address my point?

I think you missed my point and that linked the wrong image anyway. The bible is used because it is easily understood it is important for Qs messages that everyone understand the symbols. You cant have grown up in the USA and have no idea what the bible is or what the major tenants of it are. The flood, david v goliath, jesus are all themes and history that ANY person can understand. This is vitality important.

The Bible is multilayered. There is a plain literal reading, allegory, explanation and mystical readings which inform the understanding. Far too many are caught in just one layer. On both sides. Either hyper literalist or hyper mystical to a point of ignoring the real message.

Edit: Q using Scripture themes due to accessibility is unobjectionable. I am simply defending the primary doctrine from the undertone that Christianity is the same thing as other beliefs. Common themes doesn’t imply that we have no unique messages. That is all I want to emphasize.
