In reply to the discussion: Qanon is evidence that we cannot trust any writings about Jesus or other religions [View all]Doc Sportello
(7,962 posts)4. True, especially one line
"Just because a few historical figures and places are laced in the books doesn't make them any more true than what Qanon believe about Trump or Clinton."
Whenever some archaeological find comes out that ties a place or event to a religious story, it is taken as lending credence to that religious story. Of course, when it comes to the Bible, the fact that no concurrent account from a very literate society has ever been found is ignored.
To the post's point, Qanon does the same with real-life events - such as for example a cicada landing on Biden (yes they are promoting this) - as proof of whatever BS moves the grift forward. As George Carlin said, "It's all bullshit and it's bad for ya."

So this is a bash religion group? Hmmm. I did not get that from the stated purpose.
