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.

Yeah, we need to stop respecting the "pastor" title. It's so often self-granted and there are no qualifications or prerequisites. Anyone can call themselves a religious leader.

They're professional liars. Which is probably why they like politicians so much

A bit funny that in spanish pastor is also how you call a shepherd.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

This is the original meaning, like in "the Lord is my Shepherd." I always asked if that would make me a sheep.

From Wikipedia:

The word "pastor" derives from the Latin noun pastor which means "shepherd" and is derived from the verb pascere – "to lead to pasture, set to grazing, cause to eat".

This is a really good point, and Pastor Weirdfish has a nice ring to it.

From now on I'll start all declarative statements "As a religious leader...."

I'm the pastor of baked potatoes, and the first commandment is to give them all to me.

Excuse me, I'm a pastor of internet bullshit. You're right on.
