The Bible Q theory is just that: A theory with no archaeological evidence.
Basically, they noticed that some parts of the four gospels are the same and some are not. Scholars who try to "explain" the Bible came up with the theory that the common parts came from a common source that the scholars decided to call Q. No Biblical Q source has ever been found. It's pure imagination that has become part of the official story because enough scholars have decided that it must be so.
Have you noticed why this is a psy op against Christianity yet? The real common source is...Jesus. There is no need to make up a new source. It is part of a broader argument to reduce the remarkable consistency of the Bible to the existence of a common literary source rather than the fact that Jesus was real.
Anyways, since our Q is probably not a theologian, I suppose he might have co-opted the symbolism. I get the feeling that our Q is more of the 007 variety though...military intelligence and all.
What I wrote above isn't about the Bible, it's about Biblical scholarship, which is a different animal. I can totally believe that Q is a devout Christian who knows his (their? pronouns...) Bible. That doesn't mean he (they?) knows about lefty-driven Biblical scholarship, which is totally separate matter from the Bible itself.
I haven't read many. I got started here only this month. If you have a Q drop that tells us that Q knows about the work of liberal German theologians who want to claim that Jesus is a myth, feel free to share. That seems totally irrelevant to what Q is about from what I have gathered here and the few Q drops I have managed to process in the time I have been here.
Why the eagerness to force the connection to the Biblical Q source? I have already told you that there is no hard evidence for the Biblical Q source and that it has been used against Christianity (and given sources). As long as our Q is with Christ and is working to save us, that forced connection to the shared letter is irrelevant.

have you read the Q drops? Q has repeatedly told us that this is Biblical, so Q knows a great deal about the Bible. Q is also more than a 'he'...

so you haven't read the Q drops? Q knows everything...
