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.

What I don’t get about this sort of preaching is that it highlights a major issue with the Christian faith. If their god is truly good and loves everyone equally, why is he so selective with his miracles? Why wait until the preacher is attacked to cure the child’s blindness? Why allow the preacher to be harmed at all? Why even need preachers if you’re so powerful? You could just show everyone you exist, and fix their worst problems while you’re at it.

Maybe their god wants us to live without his direct intervention, which I can respect. However, why would we see ANY miracles then? He seems quite petty.

I’m not even an atheist. I have spiritual beliefs. But these half-assed attempts at spreading their faith just come across as desperate and manipulative.

Oooh look into the old testament. God is super petty. Christianity is a retcon

"why did you kill my family, drive away my flock, make my friends hate me, and riddle me with disease?"

"To win a bet. Also don't fucking talk back to me you little shit!"

They forgot the "And then everyone clapped!" Didn't happen unless everyone clapped afterwards! Amateurs!

First time seeing this community.

Saw the post. Then the community name. Checks out.

Reverse image search shows it originated on a Facebook page in Swahili.

LOL. Seems legit!

More likely, this old dude was grabbing underage ass on a train, and someone nailed him with a heavy buckled purse, then someone said “thank god”.

And the everyone burst into a "hallelujah, lord!".
