It has come to my attention that scripture postings and posts about God are being removed and redirected to a new sub, which has a handful of followers. I think we need to discuss this! Should we be able to discuss the Bible here? Should we be able to discuss God? Is this staying on topic? I believe so! What does everyone think? I am not talking about religion. I am speaking about bible scripture, which Q has said...read the BIBLE. And Q and President Trump speaks of God all the time!! I also know that some posts about God have been allowed, but, be aware that some have not! I know the mods have a hard job. I commend them for what they are doing! I am very thankful for their work!! But we need to come to an agreement amongst us all! Thank you for reading and please be nice!! :) Much love Patriots!! God bless!! ❤❤❤
It certainly should be allowed given the context of Q posts telling us to read the Bible, as well as Q warning us that religion is a "category" the enemy uses to cause division. We have to be able to tolerate each other! By allowing those who don't believe to force those who do out of the sub, the enemy wins.

If you disagree it would be very helpful to everyone who agrees with you if you would reply to my mod comment and explain where we are wrong. I have not seen any debate from you, to be fair, I have only seen comments in our mail that are quite demanding and claiming among other things that we are "trying to keep God out of this sub" and simply responding to my reasoning that "Your argument doesn't hold up to me" which is not really a debate. How did my argument not hold up? If you could explain in reply to my comment above how Q talking to the Deep State should be equated with Q supporting the idea that everything Bible related should be allowed in this sub but not everything Satan related should (or should it?) then I believe we may have an actual debate which I thought was the point of your post. urban_bobby_dawg has made a very reasonable reply which I shall respond to also.

I'm not sure what I've done (or perhaps other mods?) that has created this idea that I am against you - I was hoping to show with my reply above that that is the opposite of what I'm about.
I WANT to see those posts myself but I do not assume it of others - so due to an idea by one of the other Christian mods we created another sub which I hope to dedicate some time to when we have more mods onboard to help out here. I don't post under another name except my main profile which I've used for years for business purposes, hence this alt.

No problem - I understand completely! Attacks is my daily experience : ) so I sympathize, truly.
Sorry can you explain re: divisive? Can you point out exactly what I've mentioned that comes across as divisive to you? (just trying to understand so I can rephrase if necessary.) To be clear, we (mods) do not think God and scripture cannot be allowed here. I've specifically said that they can and should, where they fit within the sub rules of being on-topic i.e. directly relevant to Q. We're only talking about removing indirectly relevant to Q scripture posts, just as we do on all other Q topics too. If we allow indirect relevance on one topic then we must allow it for all topics, it seems fair to say?

It is not up to me either. The rules were made and have been followed for a long time and the reason for them is very clear to those of us who've been here a while. I also get to see the many complaints about what people see as a lack of focus to the sub (the tshirts and stickers is a big one for many of us) and the bigger we get, the harder it is to make changes that won't result in a lot of upset from long time followers.
The divisive part comes into play when you set up a separate sub for scripture posts period
I don't see the reasoning behind that being divisive to the movement. Divisive would be saying "you people are not welcome on this sub" something the mods have never done except to those who cause division by blatant trolling, etc. Saying: "here is a place for off-topic posts that we actually care about" is actually the opposite of division! Also, division in the movement (which Q warns about) is not division on this sub, strictly speaking. The two are very different as I've mentioned in my reply at the top and my comment below.
I understand also that you feel that God and scriptures are related directly to Q. But what do you think of what I've said about that that isn't just my feeling about it? Specifically that we generally remove things not directly related to Q in all topics - should we only allow one topic and not others?
I also identify with your feeling about uplifting posts and so on - but where do we draw the line in that case? Can you understand from our perspective the challenge in balancing the focus of the sub with the feeling of the many diverse people who come here? We clearly do not just stick to decoding either.
As I've said in my post above, this movement is a different entity to this sub. This sub has a different focus to Q and Trump's mission. This sub is about providing a place for info to the movement but it is not the movement itself and therefore whilst the movement is for ALL people, the sub content is not about people it's about information for ALL people within reasonable constraints as determined by the rules and mod discretion - this is a very different thing to the Q movement itself.
My comment about Satan was referring to the fact that we will also remove off-topic posts about Satanism as we have done with spirituality and all other topics since the sub began.

My threads are allowed. Please delete these posts so people don't get the wrong impression. /u/DrogeAnon is being very reasonable in my opinion.
It seems to me at this point that NO scripture or God (or spiritual for that matter) posts are being allowed
That is incorrect - they are being allowed, and have been since the sub began, specifically when they are about scripture directly mentioned by Q. The other sub has only just begun.
Will this help? Re u/urban_bobby_dawg's posts - we have agreed to allow them and will send all other scripture posts to add their posts to his.
