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.

May no person be oppressed as the typical American White Evangelical thinks they are

Over the many years I've been alive, I had different reaction styles to tirades about BS that I didn't believe in. It ranged correcting, arguing, careful explanation, irritation, indignation, finding common ground, and the list goes on and on.

The ONLY way I've ever found peace from these tools was to go silent, give them a stare of disappointment, and then completely ignore their existence. When they ask why I don't come around or talk to them anymore, I let them know that it's much easier to follow their Lord's example and let them make up stories about how much I love them, and how great I am without me ever having to be anywhere near them or their bullshit.

I moved away from that garbage 10 years ago and have since made friends that I have commonality with rather than choosing to be around individuals because they were all I knew.

The only problem I've not found a solution to is that the fuckers still get a vote.

I LOVE this line!

They missed one on Jesu's.

Let me guess: This person smokes cigarettes around their children like it's a competition to see who can give their progeny COPD the fastest, at the same time complaining about the price of eggs because they saw a picture taken in 2021 from an upscale grocery store in a high cost of living area that was selling free range organic eggs for $17 a dozen even though that's literally not a thing they'd ever purchased in their entire life?
