#2Who cares what they find. They reject Science, vote for Trump, etc. They’re too far gone already.

#3It's pretty sad how underdeveloped the BS detectors of a lot of people are. I find it hard to understand how people can fall for QAnon but then I also find it hard to understand how anybody can be swayed by campaign speeches or political advertising but obviously these things work.

#4More like the internet is making many Christians aware of when their preachers are spouting worldly values instead of biblical ones. The beltway "journalists" can only see this as conspiracy mongering.

#5It's only a sidenote in the article but I'm kind of interested in the part where facebook are taking qanon pages down. Which ones and with what justification?

#6Qanon is just another religion gullible people believe something without proof because it feels good.

If they had a working BS detector, they would be into religion in the first place.
[EDIT]: meant to say "they wouldn't be into religion"

The foundational principle of Christianity (in America at least, in my experience) is believe something with no evidence it is true. They call it "faith". I was raised in small town Oregon and Texas going to Christian private schools and church for years, and that "faith" thing is absolutely their central belief. I remember clearly once when I was 9 finding the whole thing deeply illogical. Later in life I got a PhD in math, partly motivated by wanting to better heal my brain from how I was raised.
I'm not at all surprised Christians fall for Trump's lies and Qanon.

Perhaps you meant "wouldn't"?
