QAnon

“…we have crossed a line from lone paranoid nuts to larger groups, who are starting to communicate with each other, all with an interconnected belief system.” - Geraghty

“On October 28, 2017, a new user calling himself Q posted on a right-wing site favored by white supremacists called 4chan. Q predicted that Hillary Clinton would be arrested and massive riots would break out nationally on October 30, 2017. When the day came and went without fulfilling Q’s predictions, adherents concluded that the cabal interfered.” - Denison

“The mainstreaming of QAnon means that we see people we know and love held under a spell of misinformation. This is causing deep divisions across families, churches, communities, and political parties. We need to respond.” - MCD

In a recent USA Today article, “I concluded that ‘we need pastors, leaders, and everyday Christians to address this conspiracy, and others like it, before others are fooled.’ With this in mind, I wanted to address some pushback and offer some steps leaders can take.” - Ed Stetzer

“Many Christians have sunk so deeply into Q that it fills a lot of their conversations and most of their time online. Cult expert Steve Hassan said he is swamped with thousands of emails from family members concerned about their loved ones who are suddenly deep into QAnon.” - WORLD

President Trum’s recent “explicit endorsement of the theory’s believers, if not quite the theory itself, is new territory for Trump. It will bring QAnon further into the political mainstream and make this cultic movement a greater threat to the American church.” - C.Today

“The issue with conspiracy theories is not with the possibility that they could be true, but with the lack of supporting data.
