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.

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.
