Never Again: QAnon Cult and Nazism
Never Again: QAnon Cult and Nazism

Twitter has a significant number of Q followers who hide their identities behind fictional avatars and indistinguishable Twitter handles. This mode of hiding online, reminiscent of the hood-wearing of the KKK, implies QAnons are acutely aware their antics are not socially acceptable.

Bear False Witness
Bear False Witness

Let’s consider the most prominent Christian in Australia at the moment: Scott Morrison. There are some issues, however, where I know Morrison bears false witness. One of my siblings and his family have been close friends with the PM and his wife for decades; so have some members of my extended family.

Bible: not written by God or Jesus
Bible: not written by God or Jesus

I’m sorry God but I don’t believe the Bible is such an important book for Christianity. The modern bible used by Christians contains the Old Testament so they’re holding onto some Jewish beliefs but not in the same way the Jewish people consider the Old Testament.

Christian Frat Boys & Dominionism
Christian Frat Boys & Dominionism

I’m sorry, God but I don’t believe you support Christians controlling the world. The theocracy of Dominionism is to position Christians in influential places within society. There is a strategic and concerted effort to intertwine politics and Christianity.

Lie Loophole, Pants on Fire
Lie Loophole, Pants on Fire

I’m sorry God, but I don’t believe you care about the ten commandments. There’s one in particular that seems to be largely ignored by Christians without any consequence: you shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

QAnon Cult
QAnon Cult

I’m sorry God, but I don’t believe you support the QAnon crowd. I have spent significant time looking into this belief system and it is a contrived evangelical movement filled with political propaganda. It is an online conspiracy cult that has directly affected me personally.

Conservatives, Religion & Politics

I’m sorry God, but I don’t believe you’re approving of the Conservatives’ values in Australia. I understand a conservative person to be someone who holds traditional values and, politically, often those considered to be right of centre.

Religious Politics
Religious Politics

I’m sorry God, but I don’t believe you care about politics. I find it alarming to see heads of countries involved in prayer to their own deity. That prayer to their particular deity becomes a club of exclusivity.

Jesus ♥ LGBTQI+
Jesus ♥ LGBTQI+

I’m sorry, God, but your believers have become obsessed with other people’s sex lives and judgements. They’re obsessing about whether you would condone homosexuality and yelling from the Twitter rooftops that gay and lesbians are headed for hell.

Your Neighbour or Eternal Life?
Your Neighbour or Eternal Life?

I’m sorry God, but I don’t think Christians really take eternal life seriously. In my personal experience, the behaviour of many so called “born-again” Christians do not align with the teachings of Jesus.

Heaven Is My Hell
Heaven Is My Hell

I’m sorry God, but I don’t want to go to heaven. I think it’s going to be a terrible place for me because you’re apparently filling it with Christian people that have treated me badly. There’s no reason I would wish to spend eternity with those people.

God's Laws Are For Losers

I’m sorry, God but I don’t believe modern Christians really care about your rules anymore. These millennium-old laws seem to be rather superfluous to modern believers, except when it suits them to impact upon other people’s individual decisions.

Moral Benchmark: Not Churches

I’m sorry God but I don’t think you care about children or their safety. The churches you are associated with certainly don’t appear to care about them either.

Is God good or evil?

I’m sorry God, but I just don’t believe that you are good.  I’m further sorry God, but I also consider the likelihood that you may in fact be evil.

I’m sorry, God but I cannot conceive of your existence.  I do have one conclusion of which I am confident: the level of spirituality and enlightenment that I seek is not offered by the God that is touted by Christianity.
