Again, we can laugh about the Braveheart. We can wonder what an actor is doing at a QAnon conference. But that ending? That ending is a crusade. That ending is the sacral blessing of the enterprise—fight for freedom, fight alongside God against your demonic foes, fight into the apocalypse QAnon believes in, an apocalypse that ends with the mass murder of your political and cultural opponents. And Jim Caviezel, JC, the actor who played Jesus Christ and whose speech blurs the lines between sacred and secular, acting and preaching, reality and fiction, walks off stage to applause, having called down the apocalypse upon their foes.

These talks are not harmless. These speeches are widely watched and listened to and disseminated. (Caviezel’s speech has already been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on YouTube.) QAnon may have diminished as a distinct movement in the months since Q has fallen silent—despite the presence at the conference of both Ron and Jim Watkins, the people most likely responsible for creating the movement’s mysterious pseudonymous central figure. But the spread of QAnon’s message, especially in religious spaces, makes calls for sacred violence, for holy war, ever more dangerous. Especially if the messenger keeps promoting the possibility that he will once again take on the role of Christ.
