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.

Dunking on homosexuality by... justifying pedophilia.
Checks out.
IDK Bob, I didn't need to read the bible to know that diddling kids was wrong.

how do we know pedophilia is wrong?

Yeah, the question alone

Are there truly people that need a moral compass, telling them what to do?

Isn't a child, obviously suffering in your hands, not enough of a hint, that there's something wrong with what you're doing, Bob?

Of course there are!
I've had a wacko theist or two ask me why I didn't just go on a murder spree if I didn't believe in God, the Bible, nor hell. Like that's a legit question for them, which is... troubling.
Usually in the form of: "Then what's stopping you from... (insert vile shit)"

Idk, basic human decency, empathy.
Basically, they were telling me that without the threat of hell, they'd just be down with killing whoever whenever if they thought there wasn't some omnipotent cosmic watchdog handling consequences.
And somehow I'm the godless immoral one.
Yikes.

Actually plenty of places in that book that support child marriage.

It's fine if you think the Pope is full of shit but then why are you Catholic?

Who else will validate my inflated ego and bigotry?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Plenty of right-wing evangelical churches to do that!

Catholics that argue with the voice of God are so close to critical thinking. Somehow, they still choose a different route.

This is a person who has never heard of Vatican II, or Vatican I for that matter.

My parents and grandparents are/were liberal, intelligent and devout catholics. Like everything else in the age of social media, the assholes get all the attention.

It is also never mentioned we cannot impale this guy on a rusty pike and parade his idiocy around town until his body has rotted off. Yet, we still have not done that.
