    Paranoid extremists get together and become paranoid that everyone else in the group are feds trying to trap them. Trip starts with group praying for guidance and immediately get lost.

    This could have been an article in The Onion.

      It’s funny how everything that happens to them is “god testing them,” and “he works in mysterious ways,” but when something bad happens to literally anyone else (or even everyone else if we want to talk about disease and natural disasters), it’s God punishing them/us for not wanting to kill trans people or something.

      How come they never run into a situation like this (pray for guidance and immediately getting lost), and view it as God telling them they’re doing something wrong? How come that’s never the conclusion they come to when it involves them?

        You phrase that like a question but literally everyone, including them, knows they’re just using religion as a tool for hatred. There’s no deeper meaning, it’s not that they’re misguided. They’re literally just malicious.
