About

This is the official Lemmy for the r/ReligiousCringe***** subreddit. This is a community about poking fun at the religious fundamentalist's who take their religion a little bit too far. Here you will find religious content that is so outrageous and so cringeworthy that even someone who is mildly religious will cringe.

Rules

  1. All posts must contain religious cringe. All posts must be made from a religious person or must be showcasing some kind of religious bigotry. The only exception to this is rule 2

  2. Material about religious bigots made by non-bigots is only allowed from Friday-Sunday EST. In an effort to keep this community on the topic of religious cringe and bigotry we have decide to limit stuff like atheist memes to only the weekends.

  3. No direct links to religious cringe. To prevent religious bigots from getting our clicks and views directs links to religious cringe are not allowed. If you must a post a screenshot of the site or use archive.ph. If it is a YouTube video please use a YouTube frontend like Piped or Invidious

  4. No Proselytizing. Proselytizing is defined as trying to convert someone to a particular religion or certain world view. Doing so will get you banned.

  5. Spammers and Trolls will be instantly banned. No exceptions.

I'm not sure babies CAN be christian. Isn't a central tenant of the whole thing that you CHOOSE god by having faith? A case could be made for a 13 or 14 year old, but a baby can't really consent to something on that scale. I remember being told once that babies too young to decide automatically go to heaven, so........... Why are they against abortion?

It's almost like there's no logic at all.

It sort of feels like whoever wrote this thinks christianity and atheism are like ethnic groups and they are at war with each other.

Also that atheists need to be believed in? This person is nuts.

Then why baptize babies? I'm pretty sure this is a difference in doctrine between denominations.

They get baptized at birth to save them from limbo. I think the free will bit doesn’t count until you’re able to have one.
