But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh[c] and despise authority.

So we are being told there is NO GOD? What fool in this world believing himself to be wisest among us could convince anyone but a fool?

Trump is a false prophet par excellence.

"Christian" "conservatives" who believe otherwise CAN NOT change their minds, for if they admit their error on such a momentous issue as Malignant Messiah truthfulness, they automatically call into question all their other beliefs, including fundamental tenets of their false religion.

I do not believe myself the "wisest among us."

But I know that you routinely pontificate as if you are always right.

Furthermore, you do not hesitate to pontificate about the bilge that flows out of QAnon like a backed up sewer.

I have learned enough about epistemology to know that Trump's lifetime of lying, arrogance, pussy-grabbing (... his first wife, Ivanka's mother, accused him of violent rape...) cruelty and vengefulness has taught him how to convince "fools" that his lies are truth.

Indeed, Trump is such a gifted liar that he convinces himself that his lies are truth.

Don't forget St. Paul's admonition. https://i.imgflip.com/7a06yy.jpg

I encourage you to at least humble yourself to the point where you acknowledge that maybe -- just maybe -- you are wrong about Trump and QAnon, his upchuck mouthpiece.

As things are stacking up, I believe you're in for a number of "bigly" unpleasant surprises when you reach The Pearly Gates.
