I just had an "encounter" with an atheist Q supporter here. I don't believe he is a shill or anything like that, but the dialog got me to start wondering.
Trump is pretty clearly Christian. Q posted bible verses making it pretty clear that he or they are Christian as well.
Based on what I was told by my debate partner, we Christians are spreading stupidity across the globe, and he feels it is his duty to show us how stupid we are (paraphrased - not his exact words.)
So here's my question: If you vehemently believe that there is no God, no higher power whatsoever, and all of this universe is just random happenstance, then why do you follow Q and support Trump?
How do you reconcile Q and atheism?
While true, i'd go as far as to say there's a bit of a science to faith in God, at least according to scripture, since it's repeatable. I've worked through a few blockers that prevented me from understanding this.
What is repeatable?
The importance of faith, compassion and love for one another. The consequences of greed, materialism, dishonesty and deceit. The significance of forgiveness and reconciliation. Concepts of humility along with the dangers of pride. The importance of treating others justly and fairly. The power of prayer and seeking guidance from God. The need for personal transformation and renewal. The call to serve others selflessly.
All things that have echoed or been evident throughout history, stood the test of time, or remained relevant throughout history, and continue to be repeated and discovered today.
But you don't need faith to be compassionate and loving. The power of prayer is the power of the mind.
I'm not saying that's not the case, but the ingredient of faith provides the additional motivation, guidance, and endurance or stamina for people to sustain or extend their compassion and love beyond what they otherwise could without faith. Some people examples of this could be in Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy.
