Damned Christians

You mean like "Touchdown Jesus"? During a storm on June 14, 2010, the giant "King of Kings" styrofoam and fiberglass Jesus statue was struck by lightning and burst into flames and burned to the waterline.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

According to a new survey, Americans who attend church at least once a month are more likely to have a positive view of QAnon nonsense, and those who never go to church are the least likely.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
I think they confused region with religion in that article. There are no numbers in the 247 page report citing religious affiliation, attendance or preference. Pretty chards and fox news isn't a good place to go for answers. Just because you're white and from the south doesn't make you an evangelical Christian. But please continue...
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Qanon was dominionist ip from the getgo, tac. Quoting magic book from the start, appealing to that base.
Yet another symptom of the growing wedge between American evangelicalism and sanity. The very thing wiping out American evangelical demographics in this country, adding a palpability to their fears of being replaced in their own land, not to mention their own children’s hearts.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Pizzagate started as antisemetic and white supremacist. Or are you talking about the russian based twitter grass roots on 4chan? Just because someone claiming to be Qanon can quote scripture doesn't make them Christian, anymore than it makes you one. I guess it does appeal to a certain demographic if you quote the Bible though, propaganda and marketing at it's finest.

The theory is about its audience, not it’s originator. It’s been a known known that white evangelicals are the qanon demographic. It’s not surprising, given that the narrative pandered to the demo from the start.
Guess who else just happens to show up on a venn diagram of anti semitism and white supremacy? White evangelicals. I’d say they need to find Jesus….but…..seems they already have…and it’s awfully weird how he chose to present himself this time….

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
Wow, this sounds bad. The Grand Rapids Police Department has announced a program in which clergy will ride along with the police as part of a mission called “Clergy on Patrol.” Isn’t that what the Inquisition was?
