QAnon is bizarre. I'll tell you, with the internet allowing us to see into the minds of religious people hasn't been a good thing. I have always thought the religious groups were a bit strange before, but now that I hear what they're thinking, a secular country looks pretty good.How do you‘s people wonder why there is often antagonism to their mindset. What’s the harm, they ask, of having faith and hope.
Well, because the mindset leaves them open to all sorts of crazy ideas and wily politicians who can manipulate that gullibility to exploit them, and by extension, the rest of us.
One of the manifestations of this pathology is now the QAnon cult, which is finding fertile ground in the evangelical community.

Some Christian conservatives are falling for QAnon, which uses emotionally fraught topics such as suffering children to draw converts to their unhinged conspiracies.www.cnn.com
After all, as Thomas Jefferson said,
“Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck.”
-Thomas Jefferson
Faith in a God really does take the helm from the hand of reason. I mean, they can just make up whatever they want and then put it all into action, which starts to make it a reality for the rest of us. A bit scary at times I must say. I'm hoping QAnon doesn't bring their guns for God out on election day. Trumps going to lose, and they are relying on him to stop Satans followers from sucking the life out of babies. You can't make this crap up.
I recently had a friend tell me they believed QAnon crap, and she and other nurses at the hospital were going to refuse a vaccine for covid because they've been told it is just a method to control them from Satan. They won't wear masks when they're out because they think the virus is a hoax from Dems who worship Satan. It's dangerous. After she told me that I thought, ok, I'm done, next time I'm in the hospital I will have to check if any of the nurses helping me are normal or psycho because they could literally kill me with some virus while I'm recovering.
It's just bizarre.
