These people were primed for the Q grift already in that they had convinced themselves that Trump was a good president and actually cared for their well being. Like others have said, they’d otherwise have to admit that they voted wrong, and admitting you’re wrong is weak. They were going to eagerly snap at any bait that agreed they they were correct, and apparently even a shadow war with the Illuminati/NWO wasn’t too much to give them pause.

The book of leviticus proves christians don't know the bible. I can't count the number of people wearing gold telling me "leviticus says homosexuality is sin" failing to read the part right before it that says "wearing gold is sin".

Blue Moonlight posted:Is there an article that summarizes it or something? It sounds interesting, but I just don’t have the attention span for podcasts. stolen from a post over on ResetEra: "Dude is a crazy Christian religious nut who also believes in all the crazy Q poo poo. He's compared himself in the past to Jesus and Pope John Paul II. Him along with Mel Gibson believed they'd be persecuted for filming Passion and he believes he still is, literally described himself as one of the "Top 5 actors in Hollywood" before filming Passion. Okay... On the set of Person of Interest, everyone considered him to be the dumbest man alive, which is also why he was so dangerous on the set above everything else. Caviezel pretty much doesn't understand the difference between acting and real life. He basically acted like a sociopath where actors were the same as props, there for him to play with. If there's a scene where he has to choke a bad guy, he's legit going to choke the actor because "that's what the character would do." In one scene filmed in Manhattan, he's supposed to be driving to chase someone. He's just supposed to pull out and stop the car for the camera, instead he goes full blast, runs a red light, and nearly hits 4 pedestrians. When asked why he would do such a thing, he says its "because that's what the character would do." After this, he was quickly banned from any scenes involving him driving and a stunt double would do that. Jim was obsessed with the military and Navy Seals and would frequently talk about training with the SEALs and being friends with SEALs and have stickers all over his car about supporting the military and SEALs. Dude felt like he served because his character is an Ex-Special Forces soldier, plus he played a soldier in The Thin Red Line. His ban of vehicles quickly extended to everything else because putting any object or weapon in his hand was a recipe for disaster. Again, dude thought he was some soldier and everyone else props. If you give him an object to hit a character or a gun, he's going to hit them or try shooting them. Those scenes were replaced with stunt doubles wearing balaclavas which was common in the series if you watched. He did not understand his character, at all. He would frequently suggest his character violently murder or torture people. This is despite that being the last thing the character would ever do. He would constantly suggest this despite being shut down hundreds of times, he had no filter between thought and utterance out of his mouth and would say every time, "you're gonna love this." The show utilized a dog in later seasons, but Jim kept yanking its chain despite being told repeatedly not to. Eventually the dog bit him and they had to find a new dog and paint its chest white. Again, his contact was limited with the animal and a stunt double used whenever possible. He's also a racist, a homophobe, and a misogynist. He didn't want to shoot a scene where his character rescues a gay couple because it was against his religion. Eventually he agreed after someone told him about 9/11 firefighters rescuing everyone, not caring about what they believed or who they were with. He then agreed but went the whole day repeating that as if he believed what he was doing was as noble as 9/11 firefighters. He would do racist and anti-Semitic poo poo all the loving time. He would frequently try to guess a person's ethnicity (which was often wrong) and then drop into a fake accent or language based on their perceived ethnicity. For example, he would speak fake chinese to an asian person. The insane catch being that he legitimately believed his fake language was their real language. As in, he believed the gibberish he spoke was actual Mandarin Chinese despite being told by actual speakers that he just said a bunch of nonsense and not Chinese. In one incident an asian studio executive was visiting the set and he did a bow to him and uttered some fake chinese or japanese. In another incident he dropped into fake German when he noticed a new white writer in the writer's room. This ties to his Hitler poo poo. Jim also hated the idea of an interracial romance between his character and another black actor, he would go on tirades with the writers about how interracial relationships shouldn't be allowed in real life. This most likely is why the character was killed off since they had planned for their romance to be a whole thing and with that not happening had to change gears. Dude LOVED to speak about Hitler and impersonate Hitler. He'd frequently just mention how Hitler "had the right idea" but just went too far or how Hitler was really smart before adding "but evil." He'd praise how organized and regimented Hitler was (Hitler was neither of those things, he was famously disorganized), again always trying to add the caveat "but evil." He would also impersonate Hitler believing it to be the funniest thing in the world. This was constant. When filming in DC, he learned about a Quran burning event that would be happening and wanted to join in. The actual event was pitiful with tons of counter-protestors showing up to prevent any burning from happening. Eventually Jim just strolled up, declared everyone was wrong and that Islam was evil and Sharia Law just wanted to control women. He then spoke to someone in "Farsi," before leaving. And by "Farsi" I mean his fake made up Farsi. This was documented in an article for a newspaper in DC (the DCist), and backed by witnesses. But there is no video as far as they know, Caviezel's attorney denied everything stating Jim was never at such an event. Showrunners, including Jonathan Nolan, obviously couldn't stand the guy but he was the lead actor and so they had to tolerate his behavior. Once the show was over, CBS was looking to cast him in the lead for a Navy SEALs show (so you know, his wet dream). People who worked on the show frantically called CBS executives and boss to get them to understand why that would be such a terrible idea. Again, imagine this dude near weapons. Les Moonves was sent dailies of poo poo he did on POI and decided to shut the pilot show down."

another funny story from the podcast was that they had to print out his lines on small index cards, which he'd hold in his hand. They claim if you watch the show, you can see him looking down often to read the lines. Then there was the time when, with one particular line, they didn't give him a card, because they didn't want to insult his intelligence by putting this line on the card. Jim insisted they print a card. So they printed up a card with the line, which was a single word-- "No." Then there was another time the guy who had been a grip on Person of Interest mentioned. Jim had several lines to say, and was doing an abnormally good job of it, abnormally good compared to his normal performance. The director called Cut, the actor Jim had been talking to in the scene turned around, and the grip saw that Jim had taped the card with his lines on the actor's forehead.

Yeah, it's been a while since I watched PoI and I think I'm still a season or two behind, but I do remember thinking that Reese was becoming much less central to the show as time went on, and I guess this neatly explains why. I'd been chalking it up to the showrunner wanting to keep the Root/Shaw train rolling.

If we are talking about the show only, Homelander is a casual homophobe, but if you asked him, he would deny his homophobia. Which he did, in S2, and then proceeded to out Maeve against her will.

No because there's two parts to those laws, the Mosaic Law and the moral law, and Jesus says that you don't have to follow the Mosaic Law anymore because of the new covenant with God, but the moral law (which is very different to just cherry picking Torah for laws against things we don't like) is still in effect.
