Christians being sucked into QAnon foolery-
Take some advice from Paul, who strove against similar distractions from the gospel in the first century:
“For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, ... They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith and will pay no attention to.... myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.”
“This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. But avoid foolish controversies.... and arguments and quarrels... because these are unprofitable and useless.”
“If anyone... does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth...”
From Titus 1 and 3 and 1st Timothy 6
