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 think someone was trolling the newspaper to see if they'd actually print this.

Steve Harvey believes if you arent Christian you shouldnt have the right to vote, its One Guy but ive heard aimilar sentiments irl

Yeah it’s fucking insane but a lot of Christian’s feel that way

"You must be this incapable of critical thought to vote."

[–] kemsat 5 points 7 months ago

That’s funny, I feel the opposite.

We likely can’t ever be sure, but I sat through sermons throughout my young life that either said or implied this exact sentiment

Not sure how old that print is but atheists in the US were actually not protected by freedom of religion until Obama changed it.

When he said "and non believers" in a speech in which he was mentioning religiously affiliated groups, he won me over forever.

At the end it says they received many such letters over the years, so not fake overall

[–] SinningStromgald 10 points 7 months ago

Smart as a door nail that one.

Dear Alice,
Kindly read a history book. Then go fuck yourself.

There is always the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Or Satan worship. Or pink unicorns. The letter did say you could pick any God you wanted.

I choose Bill Murray.

Good grief. The first time I see something posted from my hometown and it's this nonsense. Can't say I'm surprised as the only thing we have more of than bars are churches.

Alice can fucking rot
